## Caption

With its asymmetrical yet avant-garde form, the Cartier Crash embodies the notion of time as uncertain and unrestricted. Jean-Jacques Cartier and his team conceived a watch that defied convention and embraced non-traditional aesthetics.

While the movement of the watch is limited to displaying hours and minutes, the true complexity lies in the design of the case itself. The inclusion of distorted fonts on the dial further enhances its iconic status as a product of the swinging sixties. 

This example from our #SothebysHongKong Important Watches Sale—7 April at 10:00 AM HKT—features a ‘Paris’ signed dial and dates to 1991. Register to bid through our link in bio. #SothebysWatches #Cartier #CartierCrash
