Description
How can one mention Cartier without thinking of the Baignoire model? With elegance, sensuality and delicacy, the Cartier Baignoire evokes womanhood and the Cartier identity in one. It also illustrates the Maison’s technical capabilities in creating a mechanism that fits seamlessly into an oval case.
Rounded all-gold case, white dial, black indexes and blue hands: all the codes of the Cartier Baignoire are laid down. This model, ref. 1955, is mounted on a Cartier strap in duck blue leather, the color of which blends particularly well with the 18-carat white gold of the case. This accentuates its elegance.
This Cartier Baignoire comes with its Cartier box and its service papers within the Maison.
How to wear it?
In any circumstance, it will undoubtedly be the touch of elegance of your outfit. A refined watch with a rounded shape that would be worn more with a dressy outfit. However, it remains an everyday watch, especially in white gold, more discreet than yellow gold.
The Cartier Baignoire offers rounded lines that sit delicately on the wrist.
Why did Françoise choose it?
Because the Baignoire is an iconic watch shape from Cartier. A watch worn by many women over the years: women with a confident style, women of character, women we remember.
Françoise likes to highlight white gold watches, which are less common and more subtle on the wrist.
History
From Catherine Deneuve to Jeanne Moreau, to Romy Schneider, the Cartier Baignoire continues to charm.
Although Louis Cartier had already introduced a design of an elongated watch in the early 1900s, the iconic model we know today was born in 1958 in Cartier’s Parisian workshops. A watch with feminine and sensual lines, an innovative and creative style. A few years later, the elongated Baignoire appeared in London studios.
While the case formed of gold godrons has retained its rounded design, it has nevertheless offered some variations over the years, as has the dial, sometimes adorned with Roman numerals, sometimes Arabic numerals. An intrinsically elegant watch that transcends the years without losing its aura.
