  • Description

    In 1945, Jean Jacque Cartier moved to England so as to run Cartier UK, OR 'Cartier London' as it was known. Many exotic designs were born under his reign including the famous 'Crash' watch and this simple yet yet classic over-sized piece. 38mm may not seem imposing by today's standards but back in 1953, the year we know this piece to be born due to the manufacture letter of 'S' hallmarked in the case back, this was quite a size. In fact, due to it's slightness it appears much larger upon the wrist. Driven, of course, by a Jaeger movement it's provenance is undeniable from it's double set numbers that appear both inside the case back and underneath it's lugs to it's J.C stamp boasting the great man of London's initials. A truly rare opportunity to own such an incredible piece.

  • Why buy from us

    1st & foremost, we understand & take responsibility for the fact that both tastes & horological fashions are ever changing.

    We do this by being willing to take back past pieces we've sold either in the form of part exchanges or cash when needed.

    With clients rarely loosing more than 15-20% in this process & even benefitting from large profits on occasion, we believe this is the way to build trust with the public. For example. If going 'off piste' & not sticking to in vogue trendy watches such as Batman's, we believe you would incur the same monetary loss spending £20,000 with us on your various purchases as you would spending £8500 at new RRP.

    The very fact that we've never advertised in over 30 years shows we have a long standing loyal customer base. Please see testimonials for more on this.
