- O.Bachet & A. Cartier, 2020, expertise no. BC2003-2: Semi-mystery 'Planet' 'Day and Night' desk clock with folding strut, Cartier Paris, 1913. Particularity: a rare timepiece combining the semi-mystery movement with a "day and night" feature. In a similar manner, as the mobile hour movement clocks, the sun and the crescent appear and disappear on the left and right side of the dial. This clock also shows the minutes with a minute hand. A Latin motto adds a touch of poetry. The two concentric bezels remind us of the armillary spheres of the Renaissance clock makers.
