Catier Watches
Launched in 1912, the Baignoire (French for “bathtub”) was named for its oval case shape. Gaining popularity in the 1960s, especially with diamond embellishments, it remains a symbol of Cartier's innovation and elegance.
The simple yet striking shape of the Cartier Baignoire has continued to evolve over the decades. It gained greater prominence in the 1960s, especially when it was adorned with diamonds. However, the Baignoire is not only a fashion statement, but also a symbol of Cartier's innovative spirit in the world of watchmaking. The shape may seem understated at first glance, but its sophistication and craftsmanship make it a true classic among Cartier watches.
However, the watch has remained true to its original design principle: it presents a harmonious combination of fine lines and gentle curves. The wide, curved case is an unmistakable feature of every Cartier Baignoire watch and contrasts excitingly with the simple dials. These feature minimalist indices or do without them altogether to give more space to deep colors such as the brand's signature burgundy red. The striking, pointed crown rounds off the interplay of presence and restraint. The Baignoire is also manufactured with the brand's own quartz movement and, like most Cartier watches, is water-resistant to 3 bar.
The models are available in different versions, for example with narrow or wide leather straps or with a solid yellow or rose gold bracelet. There are also special editions with diamond settings on the entire bezel and bracelet.
