Cartier is updating some of their classic watches in preparation for SIHH 2018. The brand is revisiting the oval dial, a shape that they celebrated in their Baignoire watch and deconstructed for the iconic Crash; these iconic watches are revisited and reimagined for the brand?s Libre collection. The five piece collection features four new takes on the Baignoire and one new version of the Crash watch.

Baignoire Débordante

This slender and fanciful take on the simple oval dial watch sees the watch face surrounded by detailed ?petals? that are dotted with precious stones. The white gold case is set with diamonds and black spinels and only 50 such watches have been created.

Baignoire Infinie

This watch is set apart by the hypnotic design on the case made up of baguette-cut diamonds, white mother-of-pearl, Tahitian mother-of-pearl, and black spinels. Three rows of paved gemstones surround a tiny dial that is barely there. The Baignoire Infinie is limited to 20 pieces.
Baignoire Etoilée

Another watch characterized by form rather than function, the Etoilée features a bracelet that is a constellation of diamonds and black spinels. This one is also guilty of a tiny dial, but the sparkly strap more than makes up for it. 15 such watches have been produced.

Baignoire Interdite

The classic oval has been turned on its side and covered with roman numerals in glossy black ADLC. The diamond pavé bezel is seen in glimpses. 50 pieces have been produced.
