Cartier’s ‘Reflection de Cartier’ has been honored with the High Jewelry Watch Award at the 2024 Precious Watch Awards, recognizing it as a standout masterpiece among this year’s exceptional timepieces.
The Precious Watch Awards 2024, an annual year-end highlight, has announced its winners, selecting the most exceptional timepieces from a collection of the latest masterpieces. This year, the prestigious High Jewelry Watch Award was bestowed upon Cartier’s ‘Reflection de Cartier’.
High jewelry watches are the crystallization of rare gemstones, craftsmanship, and a Maison’s creative vision. Amidst a dazzling array of luxurious timepieces vying for attention as wearable art, Cartier’s ‘Reflection de Cartier’ garnered the highest acclaim.
Its innovative and bold open bracelet structure conceals the dial on the side of one tip, while a mirror on the opposing surface reflects the time as if it were upside down.
‘Reflection de Cartier’ ● Price: ¥11,946,000 (tax included) ● Case: White Gold set with diamonds ● Case Size: 18.4mm (height) x 17.5mm (width) ● Bracelet: White Gold set with diamonds ● Movement: Quartz (Cartier)
It combines two different pavé setting structures—snow setting and reverse setting—to pursue the ultimate in diamond brilliance and a smooth tactile feel. The underlying white gold is treated with rhodium plating for a purer, whiter radiance, creating a noble harmony with the glittering diamonds.
The artistic form, which merges flowing lines with precise angles, evokes a sense of euphoria alongside a pleasantly refined tension.
The mirrored surface reflects not only the time but also the sparkling diamonds. The shimmer created by the movement of the wrist amplifies the sculptural beauty of the bracelet.
