A cornerstone of timeless luxury jewelry and an emblem of a sophisticated style that has conquered the entire world with unique creations, Cartier is undoubtedly one of the most beloved brands. It may be because of its watches or its splendid collections of fine jewelry, the French maison’s customers remain ever more numerous, passionate and ready to invest in a certainty of style and quality.
But the brand with the famous red packaging, since its origins back in 1847, has also always stood out for its out-of-the-ordinary creativity and spirit of innovation, which is why its contribution to the world of fine jewelry is still recognized today. And it is no coincidence that it is precisely its vintage collections that are in high demand, since they are often rare, exclusive gems with the allure typical of those collector’s items, which are worth owning if only for their historical, cultural and creative value.
In this regard, between the 1940s and 1950s, the maison made an object that we could call a design object, as well as a cult object, a unicum in the world of jewelry. This is an elegant pen made of 14-karat gold, with a tapered design, but with a special feature that distinguishes it from many other luxury pens. In fact, at the end it features a miniature clock face, fully functional and featuring Cartier’s typical design, which of course bears its logo on the inside. The particular item has been appraised at about $2,000 by vintage experts, and is undoubtedly valuable not only for its historicity but also for the peculiarity of combining two design objects at the same time, as pen and watch.
A “different” gem for true connoisseurs. But also for unrepentant writers who often lose track of time, immersed in their thoughts.
