At Watches & Wonders 2026, Cartier reasserts its role as the “watchmaker of shapes,” exploring time through iconic design and ever more refined craftsmanship. The Maison expands its aesthetic language by blending technical innovation with jewelry savoir-faire, placing form at the center as a true expression of identity.
One of the standout returns is the Roadster, reinterpreted with updated proportions, sharper lines, and ergonomics inspired by the automotive world. The design seamlessly integrates case, bezel, and crown, while in-house automatic movements ensure a perfect balance between aesthetics and performance.
Among the most refined novelties, the Santos-Dumont evolves with vintage accents and a precious gilded obsidian dial, ultra-thin and highly complex to craft. Equally striking is the new yellow gold bracelet, exceptionally flexible and composed of hundreds of micro-elements, showcasing a highly specialized savoir-faire.
Cartier further strengthens its connection to high jewelry with creations such as the new Baignoire, adorned with the Clou de Paris motif, and the Myst de Cartier, sculptural and precious, where volumes, gemstones, and lacquered details create a dynamic, three-dimensional aesthetic.
Finally, the Maison celebrates the tenth chapter of the Privé collection with the Crash Skeleton, a technical reinterpretation of an absolute icon: the skeletonized movement adapts to the signature asymmetrical case, transforming bridges and components into Roman numerals and merging engineering with design in a single creative gesture.
With these new releases, Cartier demonstrates how its identity lies in the ability to transform every timepiece into an object of form, where technique and beauty meet in perfect balance.
