The story behind La Dona de Cartier watches is as exotic and legendary as the watch’s inspiration, the Mexican actress and Cartier patron Maria Felix. Upon visiting a Cartier boutique in Paris in 1975, she commissioned a necklace modelled on the baby crocodile she had brought with her, much to the amazement and intrigue of both Cartier and the fashion world at large. This resulted in a stunning piece of jewellery, mimicking two crocodiles interlocking at the neck and tail, and has since inspired the jewellers at Cartier to produce another fine piece, the La Dona de Cartier.

The timepiece evokes the reptilian form of the crocodile with supple interlocking bracelet links, their shapes reminiscent of scales. The links also provide the wearer with extra comfort, flowing with the natural lines and contours of the body to ensure the best fit possible, as well as providing an exotic touch to the watch.

La Dona de Cartier watches also feature an astonishing trapezoid case that flows with the shape of the bracelet links, both of which contrast with more conventionally Cartier features, such as the classic Roman numerals and blue steel sword-shaped hands. There are also a good number of design and colour choices, which include 18k yellow, white and pink gold, and stainless steel, and versions with alligator straps in several different colours.

Diamond-set versions are also available, with the full pave setting producing a particularly extravagant effect. La Dona de Cartier watches are a true homage to a remarkable woman, whose exotic style can be emulated on your wrist.
