Cartier Baignoire Watch


Cartier's elegant Baignoire watch, with its elegant ellipse and formed in a single line, was initially designed in 1912. For years, it was available only as a bespoke offering, before making its public debut in 1952. In recent years, the baignoire has had a surge in popularity and I'm so drawn to the refined 'mini' version shown above.
