Cartier Libre Baignoire Turtle watch

EDITOR'S REVIEW

• Presented at Watches & Wonders 2021
• Part jewel, part timekeeper, the gem-set watch allows the designers a creative freedom like no other category
• The Baignoire watch (meaning bath tub in French) was created by Louis Cartier in 1912.
• Its shape reminded the design team of a turtle who recreated a tortoise shell carapace using gemstones and enamel patterns to delightful effect.
