No, it’s not a Tank. And yes, it deserves your attention!

While Parisian jeweler to the stars Cartier may be best known in horological circles for its famed Tank watch, the French firm produced — and continues to produce — numerous other watch models that deserve equal billing for their unique and sumptuous designs. 

The Délices de Cartier is one such design. Audacious like the Crash, but with a symmetrically balanced silhouette,  he Délices de Cartier demonstrates the design know-how and infinite creativity from the celebrated maison. 

This example, a Reference WG800007-3380, is a white gold variant, featuring factory-set diamonds in the bezel. Sized at 40mm wide, the elegantly sweeping case design houses a silver guilloché dial with printed, stylized Arabic indices, a blued-steel handset, and a diamond cabochon setting crown.

Fitted with a solid 18k white gold three-link bracelet seamlessly integrated into the case, this lovely piece is powered by Cartier’s Calibre 059 quartz movement and comes with its inner and outer presentation box set.

Pieces from the Délices de Cartier collection are rarely seen and perfectly exhibit the blend of Cartier's watchmaking chops with their tradition in fine jewelry design. The result is breathtakingly beautiful.

Delightful, even!
