In 2021, Cartier reintroduced the iconic Cloche de Cartier as part of their exclusive Privé Collection, honoring the original 1920s design while incorporating modern refinements. This limited-edition release features the distinctive bell-shaped case with a slim profile, available in yellow gold, pink gold, and platinum, with only 100 pieces produced in each metal. True to its heritage, the Cloche’s unique design allows it to function both as a wristwatch and a desk clock, a nod to its dual-purpose origins.

Each variation offers its own distinct dial personality: the yellow gold model, like the present example, features a golden radially brushed dial; the pink gold version showcases an anthracite grey sunburst dial; and the platinum edition offers a matte cream-colored dial. All models are adorned with blue steel sword hands and a cabochon-set crown—sapphire for the gold versions and ruby for the platinum. The inverted dial layout, with Roman numerals rotated 90° and a railway minute track on the outer rim, enhances its charm, while thoughtful details like the hidden Cartier signature within the Roman numeral seven and the fully polished case elevate its elegance. A true collector’s piece, the 2021 Cloche de Cartier seamlessly blends classic design with modern craftsmanship, celebrating the maison’s rich horological heritage in a bold and unconventional way. Accompanied by its original accessories, the present example offers a rare opportunity to own this intricate and captivating timepiece.
