1 minute read
Cartier continues its series of Mechanical Legends with the with the Crash skeleton in red gold.

After a first version in platinum, the Crash skeleton is now available in red gold.

On the one hand, its aesthetics are characterised by the oversized Roman numerals, on the other, the entirely openworked movement is one of the brand's most emblematic signature and marries harmoniously with the shape of the case. The Crash skeleton has a transparent case back that shows off the gear treain of the manually-wound calibre 9618 MC with its bevelled, brushed and polished surfaces.

Where does the Crash watch come from? How did it originate? In 1967, at the heart of the Swinging Sixties in London, a client is said to he brought a damaged Cartier watch back to the London showroom. Captivated by the unusual design, the local Cartier branch decided to integrate it into the collection.
