Condition Report:
The movement is in working condition at the time of cataloguing. The dial is in very good condition. The case with light scratches and some pinhead dings. The folding clasp with light surface wear. Otherwise the watch is in original condition.
Catalogue Note:
When discussing distinctive case designs, the first one that immediately springs to mind is undoubtedly the Cartier Crash. This extraordinary timepiece was brought to life during the vibrant era of the swinging sixties in London, a time of newfound freedom and boundless creativity in the realms of art, music, and fashion.
The spirit of liberation and the desire to explore innovative ideas inspired Jean-Jacques Cartier and his team to conceive a watch that defied convention and embraced non-traditional aesthetics within the Maison. While the movement of the watch is limited to displaying hours and minutes, the true complexity lies in the design of the case itself. With its asymmetrical yet avant-garde form, the Cartier Crash embodies the notion of time as uncertain and unrestricted. The inclusion of distorted fonts on the dial further enhances its iconic status as a product of the swinging sixties.
Considering its historical significance and limited production numbers, the Cartier Crash stands as a testament to the brand's legacy. Acquiring such a signature timepiece from this collection is a rare opportunity and a remarkable representation of Cartier's enduring influence.
