Cartier's team of skilled watchmakers faced multiple attempts to meticulously construct the Cartier Crash and achieve the desired artistic vision. The asymmetrical dial, in particular, required careful painting and craftsmanship to ensure accurate time readability while maintaining the distinctive aesthetic. This achievement stands as a testament to Cartier's commitment to pushing the boundaries of design and technical excellence, resulting in the creation of a legendary watch—the Cartier Crash.
Over the years, Cartier has created a number of reissued versions to celebrate the iconic model. Among the various iterations of the watch, it would be rare to discover ones that would be set with diamonds. For the present watch, this example would be even more rare, adorned with pink diamonds and standing out exceptionally exclusive. Alluring and attractive, it would be very occasional that a piece of this calibre would appear on the market.
