Pierre Cardin PC 112

Pierre Cardin x Jaeger “Space” Red - ref. PC 112 - 1970s

When Jaeger meets Pierre Cardin: playing with codes Description This watch designed by Pierre Cardin is the perfect illustration of the audacity and imagination of the French designer. Designed for Jaeger, it breaks with the traditional stylistic codes of watchmaking. It is a design object in red lucite and metal that is worn on the wrist, witness to an era and the extravagance that Cardin could demonstrate: Parisian evenings, Courrèges skirts, colorful patterns... It is worn on a blue matte leather strap. Its bright red has numerous reflections creating plays of light which enhance the volumes of the watch, characteristic of the 1970s, undoubtedly evoking the spatial spirit from which the collection comes. Why did Françoise choose it? Françoise likes these slightly crazy models that are out of the ordinary. Completely unique pieces that you won't see elsewhere and whose design breaks free from what you know. Watches that, although vintage, seem futuristic. It is undoubtedly a watch that bears witness to its era. A rare model that will delight collectors and lovers of unusual watches, with Jaeger quality of course. A timeless piece, typical of the 1970s lines, which must certainly be worn with assertive style. It would go very well with a casual but sober outfit to contrast with it.

All have been designed with a manual movement and present  designs  playing on geometric volumes whose lines are borrowed from the space universe.
