Cartier Tilting
Introducing our magnificent Cartier Basculante , a true collector’s gem in the finest condition imaginable: new and unworn. Manufactured in 2001, our Cartier Basculante NOS (New Old Stock) is a wonderful collector’s item.
With a long tradition of creating luxury watches, Maison Cartier designed the Basculante as a piece that combined functionality and style. Like other iconic Cartier watches, such as the Tank, the Basculante features a rectangular case and embodies the essence of Art Deco design . With its clean lines and geometric forms, the Cartier Basculante is more than just a watch; it is a piece of history that represents a golden age of design.
With a rich history, the origins of the Cartier Basculante go back to the 1930s when the need of polo players to protect their watches from bumps and scratches led to this innovation which, through its distinctive mechanism, allows the case to be rotated so that the crystal is protected inwards.
The manual winding mechanism , for its part, is a feature that evokes watchmaking tradition and adds a touch of authenticity to this watch, which is complemented by a soft-touch, impeccably finished alligator leather strap.
