Cartier’s creation is known all over the world among passionate and aficionados for its squared and rectangular shapes. Round watches have not been explored too much by the Parisian brand and those produced represent a category of classic timepieces that provides its wearer with an especial taste of both tradition and innovation. The lot here offered is a striking example of a refined wristwatch coming from the 1920s that could possibly be transformed from a pocket watch. The circular case in yellow gold with integrated lugs presents a large circular pattern bezel and is notably preserved after all these years. The matte silver dial has an outer-minute track, Roman Arabic numerals on a guilloché floral decoration and a thin circle of petals for the Breguet hands that reminds a daisy flower to give more geometrical elegance to the whole structure.
