Cartier’s range of women’s watches is renowned for its elegance and beauty, especially ranges such as the Baignoire. The Baignoire range is one of the most popular within the ladies collection. The Baignoire was originally launched in the 1920’s and has been a staple for Cartier ladies watches ever since.
The Baignoire is instantly distinguishable on the wrist due to the unmistakable variation of the Cartier classic “Tonneau†case. The case has, in face led to the name of the Baignoire, due to the unique shape of the case resembling the rim of a bathtub, or Baignoire in French. The Baignoire has remained true to this original case style since its release in the 1920’s with only minor tweaks being made throughout the decades to keep the collection looking contemporary. This is exemplified by the newest addition the Baignoire family, the Grand Modele, which, like many other modern watches has a larger than traditional face.
Despite the newer larger model, the simplistic smaller version of the Cartier Baignoire has remained popular, and is still available in much the same style as it was almost a century ago. The Baignoire is available with cases made from white gold, rose gold and yellow gold, all of which are 18 karat.
The Cartier Baignoire range epitomizes everything that a ladies watch should be, offering incredible elegance and style. The Baignoire does all this while still incorporating the same great quality and functionality that is present in all Cartier offerings. The continued popularity of the Baignoire style is assured thanks to the time tested principles that Cartier has stuck by for decades.
