Buying, Selling, & Collecting: Six Watches That Cartier Should Bring Back Right…Now
One of the things I love most about old Cartier is all the non-wristwatches: Desk clocks, purse watches, pendant watches. Back then, Cartier slapped watches in all kinds of other stuff, too: lighters, money clips, pens, and other random things that had no business being a watch except that Cartier (or its customers) thought it might be cool. Cartier used to be some damn creative. It was the mid-century equivalent to today’s omnipresent digital clocks. While today, we can get the time on our phone, laptop, microwave, car dashboard, or smart dog leash (yes, a real thing); back then, a lighter with a clock might actually have some utility, telling you how long you’ve been on a smoke break.
