Cartier, Cloche, 2021, WGCC0004, Platinum

€ 42.000

A striking expression of Cartier’s design audacity, this Cloche de Cartier (Ref. WGCC0004) from 2021 embodies the maison’s historic mastery of shaped watches while showcasing the refined exclusivity of its modern Cartier Privé collection. Crafted in platinum, the model revives the iconic bell-shaped silhouette first introduced in the 1920s, merging sculptural form with classical horological elegance.

The asymmetrical case, designed to be read both on the wrist and when placed on its side, reflects Cartier’s tradition of transforming timepieces into objets d’art. Its silvered dial features elongated Roman numerals, a chemin-de-fer minute track, and blued steel hands — unmistakable hallmarks of Cartier’s timeless aesthetic language. Enhancing the precious metal case is the signature ruby cabochon set into the crown, a detail reserved for Cartier’s platinum creations and a subtle mark of prestige.

At its heart beats the manual-winding Cartier Caliber 1917 MC, a refined in-house mechanical movement chosen for its slim profile and elegant proportions, perfectly suited to the Cloche’s sculptural case design.

Produced in a strictly limited edition of just 100 pieces, this example is numbered 57, adding significant collectability to an already rare and design-forward reference. The watch is preserved in excellent overall condition.

Accompanied by its original box and papers, this piece represents a complete and highly desirable offering for collectors who appreciate both Cartier’s historic design heritage and contemporary haute horlogerie refinement.
