{"product_id":"cartier-carre-1","title":"Cartier Carre","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBy the 1930s, Cartier had already spent thirty years arguing with the circle. The Tank, the Santos, the Carré; each one a refusal of the pocket watch's inheritance, each one proof that the maison's real complication was shape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThis is that argument reduced to its bottom line. A rare Carré Duoplan in 18k yellow gold, the flanks still carrying the original finish, the dial still white, the Romans still black, the chemin de fer still drawing the square inside a square. And in the centre, the word that changes the room. France. Not London. Not New York. Not Paris. The France signature is the rarest variant on these and it almost never arrives this intact.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe symmetry here is not by accident. Edmond Jaeger's Duoplan put the crown at the back; the winding and hand-setting crown was positioned on the reverse of the case, enabling the clean Art Deco lines Cartier demanded . That is the whole point, hidden where only the person winding it will ever look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eYou do not buy this to complete a set. You buy it because you already know what a Tank feels like, and you want the one Cartier made when the square was still an argument, that almost nobody can find.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45951386157079,"sku":"DR-247.X.10.161.CN.BD-LNIB-OPEN","price":14750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0165\/1838\/files\/IMG_9958.jpg?v=1793153084","url":"https:\/\/www.highendtime.com\/products\/cartier-carre-1","provider":"HIGHENDTIME","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
