A Journey Through Time: The Cartiers and their Clocks

About This Event

Join Francesca Cartier Brickell and a Christie's jewelry specialist for a fascinating exploration of Cartier's revolutionary clock designs. Timed to coincide with Christie's "A Lifetime of Collecting – 101 Cartier Clocks" auction, this live webinar showcases the incredible innovation and artistry of Cartier timepieces. Discover the stories behind Cartier's famous mystery clocks, with their seemingly impossible floating hands; the elegant table clocks created for discerning collectors; and the spectacular clock commissions for royal courts and wealthy industrialists. Learn about the technical challenges the Cartier workshops overcame to create these mechanical marvels, and explore how clock design reflected the artistic movements of each era, from Art Nouveau through Art Deco and beyond.
