The Cartier Crash Skeleton is essentially a remake
of Cartier’s iconic 1967 watch by the same name.
It features the same quirky, Dali-esque design base
as its predecessor: A curvy, asymmetrical platinum
case.
The brand had to get creative in order to fit the
movement in the unique case. The exposed caliber
system has a completely original layout that maximizes space. The dial also reveals the inner workings
of the watch.
Bridges finished in satin make up the roman numerals, while the hands are crafted from blued steel
and the crown from cabochon sapphire.
The watch will be a limited series with just 67
unites being made. It is priced at $82,500, though an
alternate version with a paved case is available for
$150,000.
