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 Must de Cartier Gilt and Blue Lacquer example that we have here. Speaking to Cartier’s talents as a powerhouse of design and elegance, this Art-Deco-inspired desk clock features a stunning golden gilt dial with a sunburst design whereby the Cartier-branded ‘sun’ is at the 6 o’clock position, and its burst of rays radiate out across the display. Boasting a blue lacquer shell with gold specks suspended on its surface, this 13cm quartz desk clock is intensely luxurious and simply stunning with its trio of decorative flourishes serving as the cherries on top of this functional timepiece.
