The story of the Crash unfolds when a client of Cartier brought in his damaged Baignoire from a car crash to the london maison in the 1967.

The damaged Baignoire gave the jeweller Jean-Jacques Cartier inspiration to the first ever made (as he believes) asymmetric case of the watch which symbolizes non-conformism and creative freedom. The Crash eventually became an iconic model and is only reproduced in limited quantities when available.

The present Crash offered is presented with a rare pink gold case and it is also an ultimate expression of Cartier's exquisite style and feminine sophistication.
