“ Deceptively simple, the entire design is centred around the two most “pure” geometrical shapes: the circle (case shape) and the square (dial shape). A great example of the spirit of creativity of the brand’s London-based branch is the so-called Pebble or Baseball.

There is another design that we haven’t seen resurrected yet… until today, with the comeback of the so-called Baseball or the Cartier Pebble-Shaped Watch.Īccording to scholarship, this watch is the perfect example of Cartier’s creativity and adaptation to trends, reflecting the feeling of excitement in London at the beginning of the 1970s, following the swinging sixties. The wildest ideas were brought to life, from the Crash in 1967 to the Maxi Oval in 1969 and the Double Strap in 1970. Some of the most emblematic and original designs of Cartier didn’t come from Paris’ HQ but from its London-based branch. Squared, oval, bell-shaped, asymetrical, cushion-shaped, barrel-shaped and many more… It’s an endless story, with the only limit being the capacity to be worn on the wrist. Cartier is often considered the master of shaped watches.
