Cartier Vendôme - Small Model - 1982 (full set)

Vendôme: a meeting at the heart of creation

Description

The Vendôme from Cartier? As elegant and timeless as the Place! The very round, almost uninterrupted case recalls the simplest watch shape. The bracelet, connected to the case by fine horizontal attachments, seems to barely hold the watch. And of course, a religious respect for the Cartier codes: railroad minute scale, blued hands and a winding crown decorated with a sapphire cabochon. Absolute finesse!

This 1982 Cartier Vendôme, in 18-carat yellow gold, comes with all its documents and its original box.

 Why did Françoise choose it?

Just like the Place of the same name, the Cartier Vendôme evokes luxury and its subtlety. A discreet model with fine lines. That is why we have complete confidence in it. The Vendôme also makes it possible to offer a model with a round dial that was not very common at the time at Cartier, known for its "shaped" watches.

Furthermore, Françoise likes watches whose smaller dimensions make them discreet models and particularly suited to thin wrists.

Thanks to its white dial and very thin case, it can be combined with the bracelet color of your choice, according to tastes and seasons. This Cartier Vendôme is truly perfect in all circumstances. Neither too elegant nor too casual, it is particularly suitable for everyday life, perfect for work as well as for an evening.

History

In 1934, Louis Cartier patented a new way of attaching leather bracelets: on each side, a horizontal bar was inserted into a central buckle fixed to the case.

The Cartier Vendôme was introduced around 1973 as a tribute to the eponymous Parisian square, a meeting place for jewelers and watchmakers. The two clasps are said to evoke the two streets leading to Place Vendôme: rue de la Paix and rue de Castiglione.
