Over a century ago in 1906, Cartier, known for their daring aesthetics in design, broke through by pushing traditional boundaries by introducing their first tonneau-shaped wristwatch. While most timepieces from the respective era were either pocket watches or wristwatches with a round-shaped case, the introduction of an elongated barrel-like case was certainly unconventional.

The present modern lady’s interpretation is a testament that not many watch brands can boast as the Tonneau remains in production today incorporating an almost identical aesthetic to its original example from the early 1900s. Featuring a white gold case set with brilliant-cut diamonds as well as a diamond-set crown, the appeal remains elegant with a touch of flamboyance.
