Cartier’s ‘Crash’ watch is an undeniable object of desire with its unique free-form shape and specially crafted dial, epitomizing the genius of Cartier’s design and craftsmanship. The inaugural ‘Crash’ watch, introduced in 1967, available exclusively in yellow gold at the Cartier Boutique London, possibly with only 15-20 pieces created. Hand-crafted in limited numbers, the ‘Crash’ watch is notoriously elusive, adding to its mythical status as an iconic, highly coveted timepiece. Its timeless appeal ensures that the original production models from the 1960s and 1970s, along with the rare 1990s platinum version, remain the most sought-after in the world of luxury timepieces.
