About the Watch
The tradition of the day and night display in Cartier's lineage traces back to the iconic Comet clocks of the 1920s. In more recent times, the Day and Night timepiece adorned with its intricately decorated disc became a hallmark of distinction within the Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP) line. Drawing inspiration from this legacy, Cartier has now introduced the new Rotonde de Cartier Day and Night, featuring enhancements such as a retrograde moon phase and the automatic 1904 MC movement. Noteworthy among Cartier's complications from the late 1990s was the Jour et Nuit, or Day and Night, crafted by none other than Svend Andersen, co-founder of the AHCI. This creation utilized sun and moon hands to signify the passage of day and night. Eventually, the design underwent a transformation, incorporating a decorated disc for the day and night display, and was presented as part of the CPCP collection. This disc-based presentation drew its inspiration from vintage Cartier Comet clocks, operating on a similar principle.
About the Brand
Cartier was founded in 1847 in Paris by the jeweller Louis-François Cartier, who in 1899 handed over to his three sons. They would establish the company internationally, not least by making the Cartier name a favourite among the crowned heads of Europe. Named ""King of Jewellers, Jeweller of Kings"", the brand was quick to turn its attention to watches. Many have become modern-day icons, such as the Santos (1904), the first wristwatch actually ever created, the Tortue (1912) and the Tank (1919). They were followed by other noteworthy creations, including the Pasha, the Santos 100, the Ballon Bleu and the Calibre. The Cartier family retained ownership of the firm until 1964. It is now part of the Richemont Group.
