A CARTIER ‘MYSTERY ECRAN’ DESK TIMEPIECE
The December sale offers a number of important desk timepieces, led by An Impressive White Gold and Silver Rock Crystal Diamond Emerald and Multi Gem Mystery Ecran Desk Timepiece made by Cartier circa 1995 (estimate $225/275,000). The "Pendule Mystérieuse" or "Mystery Clock" has captured the imagination of Cartier collectors for decades. In the latter half of the 20th century, Cartier revisited its illustrious history to produce a series of exquisite timepieces, drawing on their Art Deco productions as inspiration. The maison utilized luxurious and fine materials such as the present lot, accentuated by labradorite, chalcedony, and diamonds.
