Introduction
Famed as an iconic jeweler with a rich history in all things design and horology, it only makes sense that Cartier would decide to expand into the realm of functional art such as desk clocks like this Alarm Clock ref. 2749. Made in steel and boasting a Mother-of-Pearl veneer across its front, this monochromatic desk clock speaks to Cartier’s talents as a powerhouse of design and elegance. Boasting a monochromatic aesthetic, this desk clock retains the French jeweler’s iconic dial design with its silver dial featuring the brand’s signature “Chemin de fer” railroad-style minute track and black Roman numerals – both of which have featured on their dials since the beginning of their time as a watchmaker. The perfect addition to any Cartier afficionado’s collection, this is a piece of art that fulfils the task of either waking one up in the morning or reminding them of meetings or other events its owner would rather not miss.
