Cartier Tortue WJTO0013 Watch

Few names in the history of watchmaking carry the weight of Louis Cartier, and the Tortue is among his most enduring and original creations. Conceived in 1912 at a time when the world of horology was almost entirely defined by the circle, the Tortue's distinctive tonneau-shaped case, its soft curves and arching profile inspired by the shell of a tortoise, was a statement of pure creative conviction. It was, quite simply, unlike anything that had come before. More than a century on, the Tortue remains one of the Maison's most quietly distinguished timepieces. Crafted in 18ct white gold and set throughout with brilliant-cut diamonds, this iteration elevates the original design with a richness and refinement that feels entirely faithful to its origins. All Cartier watches come with a two-year international guarantee, which can be extended to eight years through Cartier Care, unlocking exclusive benefits and services.
