DESCRIPTION
- In the great tradition of artistic crafts…
A pioneer for more than 160 years, Cartier has always placed the artistic crafts at the very heart of its creations. For the last decade, this rich heritage has been particularly honoured by the watchmaking marvels in the Cartier Art collection. These unique watches preserve, revive and reinvent rare areas of expertise that are sometimes forgotten.
This year, six new creations testify to a desire to go even further, beyond the limits of an era that has passed, to project the nobility of the artistic crafts into today's world. Reinterpreting and adapting these crafts around stones, enamel, engraving and wood has given birth to a new epoch.
Loyal to its inherent sense of creative craftsmanship, Cartier proposes a magical menagerie that showcases this unusual union of artisanal skills and watchmaking expertise. These artistic crafts enrich and complement each other, providing new realms of creativity.
Whether at the Cartier Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds or in the extraordinary setting of private workshops, Cartier Art watches are brought to life in the hands of outstanding craftsmen. They are exceptional pieces imbued with a passion for craftsmanship, for limits surpassed and for challenges resolved; such perfection and beauty in workings so infinitely small are truly astounding.
Time no longer matters; the hands work on, producing intaglio engravings, gold cloisonné creations, stone mosaics, overlays of enamel, wood marquetry, and so on, like a poem reeled off by the tips of fingers.
Emotion is most certainly in the air.
Tortue XL watch, jaguar motif
Engraving in relief and champlevé grand feu enamel
Relief engraving and champlevé enamel: the unusual combination of these two artistic crafts conveys the power and realism of the animal that almost bursts out of the case, escaping from the dial to settle on the caseband of the watch.
Composed of four pieces assembled and adjusted with great precision, the high-relief engraving of the dial gives shadow to each detail, highlighting the deep-set eyes, the shape of the jaw and the size of the muzzle to such an extent that the animal seems ready to spring out of the watch.
To heighten the realism, the craftsman recreates an impression of fur and of staring eyes using a flat graver, before pricking them with a slender point-graver. This is a delicate operation, as is the one used to accentuate the volume of the whiskers: the sides are chiselled with a point graver and polished individually with a rubber.
Over 60 hours are required for the engraving and assembly work, followed by 25 hours for the champlevé grand feu enamelling: a simple but very delicate art to reflect this wild and untamed composition. It features seven shades including black, mauve, grey, opal-white, opaque white, and brown- and green-yellows for a harmonious assortment of wild-cat colours that – undulating, translucent and opaque – pay homage to the majesty of the jaguar.
