Synopsis: Timepieces are the perfect distillation of Cartiers craft: At once bona fide jewels, the ultimate expression of style, and miracles of detail and precision, they are at the heart of all that the legendary house represents. Equal in beauty, value and design to Cartiers jewels, each timepiece is an object of unparalleled luxury and elegance, emblematic of the Cartier style. Over 450 pieces, including the complete collection of mystery clocks whose hands seem to float in mid-air, are presented here, representing over 150 years of the finest horology. Each object is accompanied by its individual history and detailed technical specifications. Full-scale reproductions, including twelve gatefolds, are followed by an illustrated and comparative chronology, glossary of terms, and complete index.
