An Emblem of Timeless Femininity
The Cartier Baignoire Watch Ref. CRWJBA0045 is an exquisite expression of refined grace and modern elegance. Designed for women who appreciate sophistication and subtle luxury, this small model reinterprets one of Cartier’s most enduring designs through the warmth of 18K rose gold and the radiance of brilliant-cut diamonds. It represents the perfect marriage of high jewelry artistry and Swiss precision watchmaking.
A Century of Iconic Design Heritage
The Baignoire de Cartier first appeared in 1912, marking a bold step in the evolution of Cartier’s watchmaking forms. Its distinct elliptical silhouette, evoking the gentle curve of a bathtub—baignoire in French—embodies Parisian chic and minimalist beauty. Over a century later, the design remains a symbol of feminine sophistication, and the CRWJBA0045 continues that legacy with contemporary refinement and timeless charm.
Crafted in 18K Rose Gold and Diamonds
Every detail of the Baignoire WJBA0045 reveals Cartier’s devotion to perfection. The 18K rose gold (750/1000) case gleams with warmth, its bezel adorned with 42 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.48 carats. Each gem is meticulously selected and hand-set by Cartier’s expert jewelers to ensure uniform brilliance and symmetry. The result is a luminous frame of light that enhances the watch’s sculptural form and transforms it into an exquisite jewel for the wrist.
The Iconic Cartier Crown
The beaded crown, a Cartier signature, is fashioned from 18K rose gold and set with a brilliant-cut diamond of 0.08 carats. This small yet striking detail reflects the Maison’s mastery of refinement and proportion. The crown’s sparkle subtly complements the diamond-set bezel, adding an extra layer of grace and luxury that is instantly recognizable as Cartier.
A Dial of Discreet Elegance
The silvered dial of the Baignoire Size 17 radiates understated sophistication. Its smooth surface catches the light beautifully, while the blued-steel sword-shaped hands—a timeless Cartier motif—move gracefully across its face. Protected by a sapphire crystal, renowned for its durability and clarity, the dial maintains its pristine allure over time, symbolizing enduring beauty and lasting craftsmanship.
Harmonious Proportions and Comfort
Measuring 31.4 mm in length, 23.1 mm in width, and 7.32 mm in thickness, the Baignoire CRWJBA0045 offers perfectly balanced proportions for the wrist. Its elliptical form naturally contours to the skin, creating a sense of effortless comfort. Designed to be both delicate and practical, the watch is water-resistant up to 30 meters (3 bar), blending durability with refinement for daily wear.
Precision and Reliability
At its heart beats a quartz movement (Caliber 159), providing precise and reliable timekeeping. The quartz mechanism ensures ease of use and consistent performance, reflecting Cartier’s dedication to both artistry and modern innovation. This fusion of beauty and technology ensures that the Baignoire remains as functional as it is captivating.
The Beauty of a Metal Bracelet
Unlike the traditional leather version, the Baignoire WJBA0045 features a polished pink-toned metal bracelet that harmonizes with the rose gold case. The bracelet’s fluid design and smooth links ensure exceptional comfort and flexibility, while its reflective surface adds a contemporary jewelry-like sheen. This integration of metal and gold creates a seamless, sculptural aesthetic.
Cartier’s Legacy of Feminine Design
The Baignoire de Cartier is more than a timepiece—it’s a symbol of feminine allure and Parisian refinement. Every curve, diamond, and gold surface speaks to Cartier’s heritage of elegance and artistry. The Size 17 model captures this essence with subtle sophistication, appealing to women who value luxury that whispers rather than shouts.
A Jewel of Eternal Elegance
The Cartier Baignoire Watch Ref. WJBA0045 epitomizes Cartier’s mastery in blending jewelry and horology. With its 18K rose gold case, 42 diamonds, silvered dial, and iconic oval silhouette, it remains a timeless statement of grace and luxury.
