Cartier Crash
A watch from Cartier's London shop with a case that looks as if it has melted or been twisted.
The Crash was made in 1967 by Cartier in London and produced in only a few examples. It has become a symbol of the playful design of the 1960s and has been made again in new small series.
Materials: Gold, glass; hand-wound movement
Manufacture: Made in small series; the case is shaped by hand.
The asymmetrical case that bends to one side.
Roman numerals that follow the distorted shape.
