Cartier Libre Collection
The house of Cartier has unveiled five new and exclusive ladies’ watches in the Cartier Libre Collection. Illustrating their playful side, Cartier has decided to revisit some of their signature watch shapes and then slightly stretched, minimized and distorted them to create this stunning new collection.
The result is a line of five new limited edition and individually numbered watches: Baignoire Débordante, Baignoire Infinie, Baignoire Etoilée, Baignoire Interdite and Crash Radieuse.
The Cartier Libre Collection will appeal to the connoisseurs of fine watchmaking....
The stunning Baignoire Débordante, a spin on the old classic oval Baignoire features a white gold case set with diamonds and black spinels.
