HOLY-GRAIL WATCHES
The watches on display at the exhibition are from the Cartier Collection, an archival project that started in 1973 to gather pieces that exude the Maison’s signature style.
The Maison has earned its title as the "King of Shapes" with its iconic rectangular Tank, the oval Baignoire, the oblong Crash, and so many more. This exhibition showcases a slew of Cartier creations, including 23 rare timepieces that speak of the Maison’s pride in keen stylistic features that go unrivalled in the horological world. Every design is inherently intelligent and creative while fitting elegantly on the wrist, and many silhouettes have only grown in popularity.
This 1983 Cheich watch is one of four models in existence.
“With the inaugural launch of “A Journey Through Time” in Singapore, we showcase watchmaking creations including a particularly rare 1925 Tank watch and a 1983 Cheich watch given to the winner of a historical rally. Each of these precious creations, through maintaining the principles of shape, line, details and proportions, imparts an effortless timelessness," said Anne Yitzhakov, Cartier Managing Director, Singapore, Malaysia and ASEAN.

"We are so pleased to bring to Singapore a part of our Maison’s 170-year history, and to invite our guests to reflect on their relationship with time, discovering that it is not what is being measured, but treasured," said Yitzhakov.
