As elegant and timeless as the Place itself. Its perfectly rounded case—almost uninterrupted—echoes the purest expression of watch design. The strap, attached to the case by fine horizontal lugs, appears to hold the watch with remarkable lightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"376\" data-end=\"696\"\u003eAlongside Cartier’s enduring watchmaking codes, railway minute track, blued steel hands and a cabochon-set crown, this model also incorporates the signature elements of the Trinity line. The union of three golds symbolises three cardinal values: rose gold for love, yellow gold for fidelity, and white gold for friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"698\" data-end=\"985\"\u003eWith this Must model, one gains access to two Cartier classics at a more accessible price point than solid gold versions, which, incidentally, never feature such a distinctive dial. With its 30 mm diameter, it offers a beautiful presence on the wrist while remaining slim and comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"987\" data-end=\"1072\"\u003eIts burgundy alligator Cartier strap is fitted with a gold-plated Cartier pin buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1154\"\u003eThis watch is accompanied by its original 1988 certificate and presentation box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy did Françoise choose it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1197\" data-end=\"1362\"\u003eMuch like the Place from which it takes its name, the Cartier Vendôme evokes understated luxury.

This interplay of tones would go on to inspire many of the Maison’s creations, jewellery, pens, lighters, and occasionally watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2193\" data-end=\"2348\"\u003eIn 1934, Louis Cartier patented a new system for attaching leather straps: on each side, a horizontal bar would slot into a central loop fixed to the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2350\" data-end=\"2618\"\u003eThe Cartier Vendôme was introduced around 1973, as a tribute to the Parisian square of the same name, a historic meeting place for jewellers and watchmakers.
