A collection that makes light of reality by incorporating enchanted tales and mystical creatures, the Heures Fabuleuses de Cartier features 41 pieces, including 23 unique editions. Unique in its vision and aesthetic, the collection is a manifesto that proclaims with each piece “this is not a watch.” Indeed, these watches can be worn in many different ways. They transform for the spectator – as when the diamond snake slips off the face to glide over a lapel as a brooch. The pieces use illusion as their strength – now you see it, now you don’t – an idea that gives these dazzling creations their unique appeal. When hours become fanciful, defy time and enjoy the sheer beauty of a gesture, a movement, the freedom that accompanies these most precious watches. High jewellery timepieces enchanted with spectacular stones, such as oversized beryl, oscillating movements, and bracelets that glitter with diamonds, the Heures Fabuleuses de Cartier boldly adopt creative forms in an irresistible bestiary A stunning collection of jewellery timepieces, the Heures Fabuleuses de Cartier make light of reality, weaving enchanted tales to be told as time is transformed, setting the stage for a spirited bestiary whose secrets and tricks conjure a time that is more than it seems. A highlight of the collection is the Cartier Panthère Divine Watch. A diamond-studded beauty, the Panther boasts rhodium-plated 18-carat white gold set with brilliant-cut diamonds and enamel spots. A black strap and a double adjustable folding buckle in 18-carat white gold set with brilliant- cut diamonds endow the piece with further elegance. With this line, the Cartier pledges to metamorphose time, allowing a watch to become so much more – a brooch or a pendant. Jean-Jacques Pallot © Cartier 2012 1 2 8 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
