The Cartier turtle motif adorns the dial with exquisite craftsmanship:
- Before making the dial, gem-setting technicians must first select gemstones, choosing from a wide variety, including onyx, tiger’s eye, eagle’s eye, yellow peterite, carnelian, yellow jasper, palm jasper, Kalahari jasper, yellow agate, moss agate, coral, and mother-of-pearl, among others. The ever-changing colors of these gemstones make the turtle’s pattern more vibrant. The selected warm-toned gemstones are then polished and cut into small squares with a side length of 0.75 mm and a thickness of 0.4 mm.
- Cartier’s watchmaking experts, who excel in using color, skillfully combine gemstones to create beautiful patterns.
- The black onyx outlines the shape of the tortoise shell, and 1,167 small gems are set into it to highlight the details.
For those who love artistic watches, time seems less important when wearing the watch; only the beauty of the craftsmanship, created by the skilled hands of Cartier’s craftsmen, matters—like a beautiful poem.
