Harry Fane Vintage 1920 Cartier Diamond Set Wristwatch

Harry Fane presents a collection of over 20 vintage Cartier wrist watches, with a focus on the rare diamond versions. “And these are very, very special, examples of what women were wearing at that time Cartier made things of great beauty to be treasured to become heirlooms. It is always interesting to me, when you pick up a watch made by Cartier which is now over 100 years old, and you just wonder what its life has been. The fact that it still exists today means that it has been treasured. They are both timeless, and have survived during this long century which saw so many upheavals between wars and revolution."

This is a superb example of Cartier’s diamond set wristwatches. The open, square shaped case with rounded corners and set with rose-cut diamonds. With diamond set openwork lugs and with the original diamond set ‘Deployment’ Buckle.

The dial with traditional Cartier configuration. 20.6 mm width, 20.6 mm length / 30.4mm inc. lugs, 6 mm depth. 18K Gold and Diamonds.
