Since 1898, Cartier’s skill and craftsmanship in the creation of timepieces have proved to foundamental for special wristwatches. Always ahead of its time and eager to experiment with innovative shapes, Cartier gave birth to the Gouvernail, named this way for its design similar to a rudder. The present “timone” has a very nice and extremely well preserved case in white gold with the iconic 12 outer “indexes” for the hours. The dial is perfectly geometric with outer minutes scale and Roman numerals while at 12 and 6 o’clock are present the signatures Cartier and France. Further preciousness is the original deployant of the Parisian brand.
