Additional Informations: The Cartier Bamboo "Coussin" is a remarkable example of Cartier's exceptional craftsmanship, which began in the 1970s with the creation of iconic designs that blurred the line between art and watchmaking. This model belongs to the "Bamboo" collection, launched in 1970 and designed by the famous designer Jean-Jacques Cartier. The name "Bamboo" refers to the distinctive, bamboo-inspired watch cases and bracelets, giving the model an exotic yet elegant appearance.
The "Coussin" shape, a rounded square case, stands out as particularly unique, giving the watch a distinctive and unmistakable character. This combination of creative design and precise craftsmanship was typical of the 1970s when Cartier began creating avant-garde pieces that shaped the taste of collectors and watch enthusiasts worldwide.
This model has become one of the most sought-after variations due to its exceptional form, and it is currently experiencing a remarkable resurgence in the vintage watch scene. Recent auctions have seen astronomical prices for comparable models, underscoring the rapid value increase and growing demand for this extraordinary timepiece.
Our example features a perfect dial. Additionally, the watch is unpolished, preserving its original case geometry and further enhancing its value. It was fully serviced at Cartier Paris about four weeks ago, ensuring not only its functionality but also reinforcing its provenance and exclusivity.
