Cartier’s legacy is inseparable from its radical mastery of case design—a legacy defined by bold innovation and sculptural imagination. Among the maison’s most enigmatic and avant-garde creations is the “Cloche,” first conceived in the 1920s, its name derived from the French word for “bell.” As unconventional as it was poetic, the Cloche stood apart with its asymmetrical form, curving along one side and allowing the dial to be read as easily on the wrist as it would be resting on a table. Its silhouette, charmingly evocative of a service bell, joins Cartier’s pantheon of mythic case shapes—alongside the Cintrée, Crash, and Baignoire Allongée—each a benchmark of design that has transcended its era to become cultural icon. In 2021, Cartier reawakened this legendary design as part of its highly selective Cartier Privé collection—a series dedicated to reviving the maison’s most storied references. Offered in a strictly limited edition of 100 pieces per metal, the present watch is crafted in platinum, its cool luster underscoring the Cloche’s architectural form. Powered by a manual-winding movement and set against a satin-brushed silvered dial, this timepiece is both minimalist and theatrical—an object of quiet complexity. Preserved in exceptional, pristine condition, it is accompanied by its original International Warranty dated 2021, and box . A rare opportunity to own one of Cartier’s most compelling case studies, reborn for the 21st century in a form as faithful as it is forward-looking.
