Square and flat, this model is as elegant as it is comfortable on the wrist. Although slim, the case’s gadroon (the golden wave running along the case) gives the Ceinture a real presence on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"361\" data-end=\"510\"\u003eThis Ceinture is presented in its most traditional version, faithful to Cartier’s history, featuring a mechanical movement and a dial signed \"Paris\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"599\"\u003eIt is fitted with a black alligator leather strap and a Cartier gold-plated pin buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"601\" data-end=\"619\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"601\" data-end=\"619\"\u003eHow to wear it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"1032\"\u003eThis Ceinture is perfect for any occasion. A dress watch that is a pleasure to wear and to admire. It is particularly well suited to everyday life, equally appropriate for work or evening wear. Thanks to its flat lines, it sits gently on the wrist and follows its natural shape. A highly flattering watch that offers a change from the classic Tank Louis Cartier. A slightly smaller size than the standard model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1034\" data-end=\"1274\"\u003eIt is an iconic Cartier design, of great elegance, with particularly well-balanced dial proportions. This smaller version allows the watch to become almost jewellery-like. A piece you do not often see and one you will not want to part with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1276\" data-end=\"1474\"\u003eHowever, it must not be forgotten that it needs to be wound. Some may find this tedious in daily use, but Françoise particularly enjoys this short, almost tactile moment with her watch each morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1476\" data-end=\"1508\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1476\" data-end=\"1508\"\u003eWhy did Françoise choose it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1729\"\u003eBecause it is an iconic Cartier model of great elegance, with a particularly well-proportioned dial. Françoise considers the Ceinture one of the most comfortable Cartier watches to wear, thanks to its slim, square case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1731\" data-end=\"1965\"\u003eFrançoise often offers quartz watches and highlights their everyday convenience, but her passion for horology sometimes takes over, leading her to wear a \"true\" mechanical watch for several weeks, one that must be wound every morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1967\" data-end=\"1978\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1967\" data-end=\"1978\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1980\" data-end=\"2350\"\u003eThe Cartier Ceinture is an iconic yet relatively discreet shape within the Maison’s collection, created in 1927 in the context of the Art Deco movement. Its name comes from its square case with cut corners, evoking a belt buckle. It is particularly distinguished by its crown integrated into the case, an aesthetic innovation that preserves the watch’s perfect symmetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2352\" data-end=\"2608\"\u003eAfter a first limited production period, it was reintroduced in 1973 as part of Cartier’s effort to revive its historic designs. Models from this era, particularly those featuring the famous \"Paris\" dials, are now among the most sought-after by collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2610\" data-end=\"3020\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eProduced mainly in yellow gold and powered by Swiss manual-winding mechanical movements, the Ceinture is defined by its understated elegance, refined proportions, and distinctive shaped-watch design. Although less well known than the Santos or the Tank, it is regarded as a true connoisseur’s timepiece, embodying the creative boldness and aesthetic refinement that defined Cartier throughout the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54535199260995,"sku":"W0391","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/9570\/0732\/files\/2D4CB5AC-64AC-4830-B75A-AB3B326C92A2.jpg?v=1782296680","url":"https:\/\/www.francoise.paris\/en\/products\/cartier-ceinture-mecanique-v-1970","provider":"Françoise Paris","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
