Few names in watchmaking evoke such timeless elegance and cultural significance as Cartier. Celebrated for its harmonious balance of design innovation and horological finesse, Cartier has long stood at the intersection of high watchmaking and decorative art. Among the maison’s most refined and enigmatic creations is the so-called “Fabergé” or “Incurvée” model—so named for its sensuous, ergonomic curvature that wraps effortlessly around the wrist. Produced in limited quantities during the 1970s, this rare reference 78101 is a striking expression of Cartier’s sculptural design language. Crafted in 18K yellow gold and featuring a “Paris” signature at 6 o’clock, the present example is made all the more special by a historic and deeply symbolic detail: the Jordanian Royal Family crest. The presence of the Hashemite emblem and this calligraphic engraving suggest this piece was issued as a diplomatic gift, part of a tradition in which sovereigns bestowed watches of exceptional taste to dignitaries and foreign allies. In its generous proportions, its Fabergé-shaped silhouette, and its royal double-signature dial, the watch reflects not just the luxury of an era, but the gravitas of its giver.
