The history of the Baignoire watch is at the heart of Cartier’s emblematic watchmaking style.
This was the first appearance of the watch that was to be named the Baignoire in 1973, already displaying the volume it is known for and its signature details: a domed crystal, a dial with Roman numerals and a smooth gold ribbon.
Since then, the Baignoire watch has remained true to itself, appearing in many variations. This iconic watch takes on an infinite number of possible forms, each time resembling only itself.
Lou Doillon is the face of the collection, embodying Parisian chic style, casual elegance, freedom and spirit.
“Cartier has been a part of both my family and me for a long time. To celebrate love and special occasions! For my eighteenth birthday, my mother gave me a Baignoire watch. Cartier, the elegance and chic of the sapphire, the sobriety of the dial, the timelessness of the form.” LOU DOILLON
Tame the infinity of time until it is at the heart of miniature watches – a game for Cartier, which takes advantage of the wonder of changing scales to blur the lines. Drawing upon Maison’s dual identity as a jeweller and watchmaker, the craftsmen challenge what has been achieved and push the creative boundaries with a sense of curiosity.
