The Timepiece

The Crash is the most famous watch Cartier ever made — born in swinging London in 1967, melted, distorted, and utterly unlike anything else in watchmaking. The 2026 Privé Squelette takes the icon further: a brand-new 1967 MC calibre shaped to the warped case, bridges hammered by hand into Roman numerals. 150 numbered pieces in platinum, and the watch the whole collecting world talked about at Watches & Wonders.
