Iconic Cartier High-Jewelry Design
The Cartier Baignoire Allongée Ref. CRWJBA0010 is a stunning interpretation of the Maison’s legendary Baignoire silhouette, transformed into an elongated, graceful form. This medium-sized high jewelry watch reflects Cartier’s mastery in feminine luxury timepieces, combining exceptional aesthetics with historical design heritage.
Traditional Hand-Wound Mechanical Movement
At its heart, the watch houses a hand-wound mechanical movement – the Caliber 1917 MC, a tribute to traditional Swiss watchmaking. The wearer must wind the watch manually, creating a meaningful and personal connection to the craft, something prized in haute horlogerie.
18K Rose Gold Construction
The case is crafted from 18K rose gold, offering a rich, warm tone that enhances the jewel-like character of the watch. The elongated oval case shape reflects the iconic Baignoire identity and ensures refined elegance on the wrist.
Refined and Elegant Dimensions
With dimensions of 47 mm in length and 21 mm in width, the watch delivers a dramatic yet feminine presence. Combined with its slender profile, the watch provides extraordinary wrist comfort while maintaining a sophisticated, elongated visual impression.
582 Diamonds Totaling 3.56 Carats
A key highlight of the Ref. WJBA0010 is its breathtaking jewelry work:
582 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 3.56 carats are set across the case, dial, beaded crown, and 18K rose gold pin buckle. This intense diamond setting ensures 360-degree brilliance, making the watch a true haute joaillerie statement.
Diamond-Studded Beaded Crown
The signature Cartier beaded crown, also pavé-set with diamonds, adds a luxurious and iconic touch. Beyond aesthetics, it also serves as the functional interface for winding the mechanical movement.
Blued Steel Sword-Shaped Hands
Time is displayed with classic Cartier blued steel sword-shaped hands, ensuring excellent contrast and legibility. This design element has been a hallmark of Cartier timepieces for generations, reinforcing the brand’s timeless visual language.
Sapphire Crystal Protection
The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, chosen for its durability and clarity. It ensures that the brilliance of the diamonds and finishing details remain pristine, maintaining long-term beauty and readability.
Light Brown Alligator Strap with Diamond Buckle
The watch is paired with a light brown alligator leather strap, offering luxurious comfort and visual harmony with rose gold. It is secured with an 18K rose gold pin buckle set with diamonds, completing the jewel-like aesthetic from case to clasp.
Slim 8 mm Profile with 30m Water Resistance
Despite its full pavé diamond setting, the watch maintains a slim 8 mm case thickness, ensuring refined wearability. It is also water-resistant to 3 bar (~30 meters), making it suitable for elegant daily use.
