New in: a small batch of Cartier shape watches

Tank, Santos and a Panthère have joined the case — Roman numerals, blued hands and cases we measured before we bought.

A short run of Cartier shape watches has just been authenticated and photographed as-is. Roman numerals, blued steel hands and the quiet taste that has nothing to do with tool watches.

Each case was measured for sharpness before purchase — a shape watch lives or dies on unpolished edges, and we turn away anything that has been over-worked on the bench.

They are listed now under Cartier. As always, most move quickly, so enquire early if one is calling to you.
