Featuring 290 color images, many of them full-page, this
lavish volume presents Cartier''s most famous and complicated
watches in a new never-before-published collection. From
their forms to their movements, Cartier watches are unique. They
are an enduring combination of the unexpected and the
classical.In the world of timepieces, the Cartier name
inevitably evokes a glamorous range of legendary, universally
admired watches: the Santos, the Tortue, the Tank, the Baignoire,
the Pasha de Cartier, the Panthère de Cartier, and others.
This book chronicles Cartier''s constant quest for excellence in the
manufacture of complicated watches. From a Tortue single push-piece
chronograph, created in 1929 to a contemporary Santos 100 skeleton
watch, Cartier interprets complications in its own inimitable way,
always with a sense of design.
Laziz Hamani''s photographs capture these objects of exceptional
artistry while author and expert Jack Forster shares the spirit
that motivates each craftsman, engineer, and artist to create the
most stunning complicated watches.
Cartier Time Art will also be the catalog of an
international touring exhibition curated by the Japanese designer
Tokujin Yoshioka, which will premiere at Bellerive Museum in
Zurich, Switzerland from August to November 2011.
