A rare curve in Cartier’s history
The Cartier Tortue Ref. WGTO0009, in its mini model, is a tribute to one of Louis Cartier’s most daring creations from 1912. At a time when nearly all watches were round, the tortoise-inspired tonneau shape challenged convention and defined a new era of watchmaking elegance. In this 2024 edition, 18K yellow gold (750/1000) is paired with beige lacquer, creating a warm, refined palette. Limited to 150 numbered pieces, this watch is an exclusive jewel of the Maison.
Case & craftsmanship
The distinctive 26.15 x 20.9 mm case, with a slim 6.5 mm thickness, is sculpted in 18K yellow gold (750/1000) and finished with glossy beige lacquer that enhances its graceful curves. The beaded crown, also in yellow gold, is set with a sapphire cabochon, a Cartier signature detail that elevates its elegance. Water-resistant to 3 bar (approx. 30 meters), it combines artistry with everyday practicality.
Dial & design
The white opaline dial features Roman numeral hour-markers and golden-finished sword-shaped hands, harmonizing with the warmth of the case. The dial’s refined simplicity allows the unique shape to take center stage, a balance that speaks to Cartier’s mastery of proportion and form.
Movement & precision
Powered by the Cartier 057 quartz movement, the Tortue mini model offers precise hours and minutes while minimizing the need for maintenance. It is designed for those who seek timeless design with the ease of quartz reliability.
Straps & versatility
This limited edition includes two interchangeable straps: a shiny beige textured calfskin leather strap with 18K yellow gold ardillon buckle for tonal elegance, and a shiny dark gray calfskin leather strap for a contrasting, modern look. Both offer exceptional comfort and adaptability for different moods and occasions.
Cartier care & heritage
Protected under Cartier Care, with an International Limited Warranty of up to 8 years, this timepiece is as enduring as the legacy it carries. More than just a watch, it is a rare curve in Cartier’s design language, a shape that has stood the test of over a century.
A creation of numbered rarity
With only 150 numbered pieces in existence, the Cartier Tortue Ref. CRWGTO0009 is a collector’s treasure and a testament to Cartier’s bold creativity. Discover this exceptional creation at Jewels by Love, authorized Cartier retailer.
