- The Cartier Tonneau was first launched in 1906 as the Maison’s now-iconic barrel-shaped wristwatch that set the tone for the Art Deco era. Beautiful in style and proportions, the modern Tonneau remains one of the most recognised models, adhering strongly to the design language of the original.
- A quintessential Cartier signature, the present quartz Tonneau Double Fuseau wears comfortably on the wrist thanks to its slim and curvaceous case that perfectly hugs the contours of its wearer. The elongated profile of this piece is balanced by the symmetrical pairing of the two timezones displayed on top of one another. The top half of the dial features the iconic Cartier Tank configuration with large black Roman numerals, while the second time zone on the lower half is differentiated by its painted Roman numerals on the quarters. Each time zone is operated via its own designated sapphire cabochon-topped crown, allowing the wearer to adjust them separately without restraint.
- Fusing form and function, the present yellow gold Tonneau Double Fuseau is preserved in excellent overall condition and will be a fantastic addition to any Cartier collections.
