A dazzling union of Cartier’s 1912 design and diamond-set white gold, the mini Baignoire Ref. HPI01822 embodies timeless sophistication.
Cartier Baignoire Ref. HPI01822 – A Masterpiece of Miniature Elegance
The Cartier Baignoire Mini Model Watch Ref. HPI01822 is a refined expression of Cartier's legendary design heritage, dating back to 1912. The name “Baignoire”, meaning “bathtub” in French, reflects the watch’s uniquely elongated, elliptical silhouette—an artistic reinterpretation of a classic shape that has become a timeless icon in the world of fine watchmaking. With this mini model, Cartier redefines elegance by fusing minimalist form with high jewelry detailing, creating a timepiece that is as much a statement of style as it is of precision craftsmanship.
Dazzling Brilliance in Platinum-Toned White Gold
Crafted in rhodium-finished 18K white gold (750/1000), the case of the Baignoire HPI01822 is a study in pure radiance. The bezel is adorned with 171 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 1.91 carats, creating a luminous aura around the silvered dial. This shimmering luxury continues into the rigid white gold bracelet, meticulously set with 380 brilliant-cut diamonds weighing 3.11 carats, delivering exceptional brilliance and seamless elegance from case to clasp.
Refined Dial, Classic Cartier Aesthetics
At the heart of this creation lies a silvered dial that exemplifies understated sophistication. The dial features blued-steel sword-shaped hands, a signature Cartier element that enhances both legibility and visual balance. The combination of the cool-toned dial with the sparkle of diamonds and the warmth of rose-blued steel hands makes for a striking yet harmonious contrast, lending the watch an unmistakable Cartier charm.
Precision and Ease – Powered by Quartz
Designed for both beauty and practicality, the Baignoire HPI01822 is equipped with a quartz movement, ensuring precise timekeeping with minimal maintenance. It features hour and minute functions, making it the ideal everyday luxury companion. The ultra-slim case thickness of 7.2 mm ensures a graceful presence on the wrist, while its 24.6 mm x 18.7 mm dimensions highlight its delicate profile.
Luxury That Lasts – Comfort and Enduring Design
The watch’s bracelet is not only stunning but also functional, featuring a hand-engraved prong buckle that offers a secure and elegant fit. Water-resistant up to 3 bar (approximately 30 meters) and protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the watch is designed for both beauty and endurance. Every detail—from the curved silhouette to the glint of each diamond—reflects Cartier’s dedication to lasting luxury.
Exceptional Craftsmanship, Certified by Cartier
The Baignoire Ref. HPI01822 is a testament to Cartier’s high jewelry watchmaking expertise, combining traditional techniques with modern innovation. Its Top Wesselton (F-G) grade diamonds ensure the highest standards of brilliance and clarity.
