Remarkably well preserved, the present clock can be admired for the beauty and simplicity of its bold Art Deco design representing Cartier’s unique style at this moment in history.

European Watch & Clock Co.
In the early 1920s, Cartier formed a joint company with Edward Jaeger (of Jaeger-LeCoultre) to make movements specifically for Cartier watches and clocks, the company was named the European Watch & Clock Company Inc. and has become the most associated with vintage Cartier clocks and watches. Collectors particularly esteem a Cartier timepiece with the now familiar signature on the movement 'European Watch & Clock Co.'.
