The 1930s was a decade of tremendous creativity and technical innovation for Cartier. The strong, colourful Indian, Persian and Oriental inspired designs, which had dominated jewellery of the early 20th century, were starting to be substituted by a diamond and single coloured gemstone palette which dominated by 1935. This was also reflected in the stone set watches they produced of the period including the present lot from circa 1925.
