Cartier Tonneau Cintree 18k ‘Paris’

Cartier’s very first tonneau watch was launched in 1906. Always pushing the boundaries of aesthetics and design, Louis Cartier broke convention by eschewing the traditional round wristwatch, favoring an unusual and elongated case design. At the time of production, the “Tonneau” watch was unusually daring, a boasting confident and large case which elegantly hugged the wrist.

The present example is a modern-day interpretation of the barrel-shaped wristwatch while retaining the design codes established over a century ago. Cased in yellow gold featuring a blue sapphire crown, this example is preserved in excellent condition, with crisp case numbers and hallmarks.

Comes with original box and service papers 2019 from Cartier. Because of the shape of the case back it fits the wrist perfectly, elegance in its finest way!

All of our vintage watches have been carefully selected for you. Each watch is meticulously inspected on condition and originality. Furthermore, our watches receive a full service by our highly skilled and qualified watchmakers before hitting the store, so you can wear your special find with confidence. A statement we back up with a 2-year warranty.

With over two decades of experience in vintage watches, we have developed an eye for great quality and great stories. Because we believe every vintage watch tells a story through its unique design, history and patina. A vintage watch is a time-traveling device in that sense. A practical item for daily use, that connects us to something bigger than ourselves at the same time.

From history buffs to tech geeks and style gurus, we all approach this beautiful passion from different angles. We operate under the mantra that every vintage watch is unique and so is every client. We get a massive thrill out of helping you find that one special watch that perfectly suits your personality, style and budget. To see you staring at your wrist with a big smile on your face, is what we get out of bed for.
