A Luxurious Bubble Bath.
After a long day, how often do we allow ourselves the luxury of a small pause? Something indulgent, like running a warm bath, letting the world melt away, even if only for a moment. We tell ourselves there’s no time, but deep down, we know the joy it would bring.
The Cartier Baignoire embodies this sentiment—a reminder to embrace moments of elegance and care in a fast-moving world. Named after the French word for “bathtub,” the Baignoire captures the tranquility and refinement of such rituals, turning it into a timeless design.
The 23mm case, crafted from 18k yellow gold, is as inviting as its namesake. Its distinctive oval, or bathtub-inspired shape, gently curves to catch the light on its polished front, while the back conforms effortlessly to the wrist. The off-white, slightly grainy dial features Roman numerals flowing elegantly along the contours, adding depth and sophistication. Cartier’s jewelry roots shine through in the 18k gold beaded crown, tipped with a sapphire cabochon—small, deliberate details that elevate this piece to artistry.
Powered by a high-quality Cartier quartz movement, this timepiece ensures precision and reliability without sacrificing elegance. Fitted with a brand-new black leather strap and its original 18k gold Cartier tang buckle, it remains as timeless as ever.
Worn by celebrities and tastemakers alike, the Cartier Baignoire has become one of the brand’s most sought-after designs, further cemented by its modern reissue. Its enduring allure bridges generations, speaking to those who appreciate the quiet luxury of iconic design. In mint condition, save for a few hairline handling marks, it’s ready to be loved during life’s small pauses, just like the ones we so often forget to take.
