Feminine Charm and Fiery Radiance: Cartier Launches TRAIT D’ÉCLAT High Jewellery Watch

　　Drawing inspiration from precious rubies, Cartier presents the TRAIT D’ÉCLAT High Jewellery watch. These 15 rubies have a total weight of 24.93 carats, boasting an exceptionally uniform and transparent colour: a deep and intense red adamantine lustre with a hint of pinkish-orange, which is the unique characteristic of Mozambican rubies. The cleverly arranged rubies resemble a red ribbon gracefully winding around the watch, contrasting with the baguette-cut diamonds. The circular motif clustering around the dial blends seamlessly with the overall layout. Adorning the wrist, this exquisite timepiece reveals a delicate and feminine charm; amidst the shadows of nightfall, the noble rubies sparkle with a fiery, intense glow, exuding breathtaking allure.

　　The TRAIT D’ÉCLAT High Jewellery watch magnificently combines two themes cherished by Cartier: rubies and bows. Rubies hold a pivotal place in Cartier's stylistic history. As early as the beginning of the twentieth century, Cartier used rubies to adorn the jewellery of Indian princes. In 1956 4, Princess Grace was photographed for an official portrait wearing a Cartier scroll tiara set with 3 cabochon rubies, which could also be detached and worn as a brooch, making it a favourite of the Princess. In 1957, Elizabeth Taylor received a Cartier ruby and diamond necklace from her partner Mike Todd as a testament to their "moment of perfect love".Cartier watchPersisting in the exploration of aesthetic styles and pioneering aesthetic trends, the brand reinterprets the classic ribbon bow style with fresh creativity, continually introducing delicate and refined masterpieces.
