Cartier Art Deco Diamond and Onyx Clip Watch

About the Item

This striking Cartier watch clip epitomizes the Art Deco style. Sophisticated and chic, this fashionable timepiece features a dial and clip of onyx, while sparkling round-cut diamonds comprise the bezel and mark the hours. Crafted of platinum and 18K yellow gold, this watch exudes elegance. The Cartier tradition of clock and watch making extends almost as far back as the founding of the company. In 1898, Louis Cartier, one of the three Cartier brothers and grandson of founder Louis-François, moved to 13 rue de La Paix with his father, Alfred. Louis was a talented creator of jewels and art objects, and confirmed his talent by tying his craft with clock making traditions, lost now for more than a century. Thereafter, Cartier’s clocks, table clocks, and watches were manufactured with an emphasis on perfection, beauty and originality. Clock making, at first a secondary activity, became the predominant activity and prestige of Cartier. Signed on the dial “Cartier” Circa 1920 ¾” wide x 1” high
