Cartier Baignoire Allongee

One of Cartier's oldest and most elegant shapes, and a purely feminine one. The Baignoire takes its name from the French for 'bathtub,' after its stretched, rounded oval case, a design that dates to 1912 and reads as jewelry first, watch second. Cartier refreshed the line in 2023, and today it's offered in mini and small sizes, cased in yellow, white, or rose gold, often set with diamonds, on gold bracelets or leather. It's quartz at its core, because this is a dress-and-jewelry piece rather than a tool watch. If the Tank is Cartier's classic and the Panthere its bracelet icon, the Baignoire is its quiet, sculptural jewel.This is Baignoire
