- O.Bachet & A. Cartier, 2020, expertise no. BC2003-44: Art Deco desk clock, Cartier Paris, circa 1935. Particularity: this clock, with its assertive geometrical shape and simplified decorations, is very representative of Cartier's watchmaking production in the early 1930s. Moreover, the use of a stand to place a standard square hardstone clock is certainly unusual as is the use of reddish jasper and malachite in Cartier's production.
- The case has been later replaced. Movement signed European Watch & Co.
- Dial signed Cartier France.
- The dial stained and tarnished.
- The luminous accents on the dial are slightly worn, reacting strongly to Geiger. The hands are later made and reacting slightly to Geiger.
- The jasper in good condition.
- Some losses to the enamel throughout.
- The malachites in good condition, a few chips, traces of glue.
