Cartier Baignoire

About the Baignoire

The Baignoire collection, a Cartier icon, blends the watchmaker’s storied history with modern style. Inspired by the French word for "bathtub," the Baignoire’s iconic oval shape has been a favorite since its introduction in the early 20th century. A hallmark of Cartier's world-class craftsmanship, the Baignoire features diamond-set bezels, Roman numerals and intricate guilloché dials. State-of-the-art complications such as dual time zones, moon phases and precise automatic movements enhance its superior functionality. Like several of its Cartier brethren, the Baignoire also features a sapphire crystal case back that reveals the manufacturer’s complex mechanics. Interestingly, this was one of the first Cartier models to feature a hidden clasp mechanism, preserving the watch’s sleek lines and ensuring a comfortable fit.
