Cartier Crash Skeleton Pink Gold – Iconic Asymmetric Skeletonized Watch
The Cartier Crash Skeleton Pink Gold is a bold reinterpretation of Cartier’s iconic Crash model, introduced at SIHH 2016. Following the platinum skeletonized edition of 2015, this version features a full 18K pink gold case and movement, combining the brand’s historic asymmetric design with contemporary haute horlogerie techniques.
Asymmetric Skeletonized Design
The Crash Skeleton merges Cartier’s famous distorted case silhouette with a fully skeletonized construction, allowing unobstructed views of the hand-wound caliber. For the first time, the movement itself follows the asymmetric case shape, showcasing Cartier’s ingenuity in both design and engineering. Sapphire crystals on both sides reveal every detail of the movement, including the ruby-set balance jewel at 6 o’clock.
Dial, Hands, and Crown
The watch features blued steel sword-shaped hands and a cabochon sapphire set into the curved crown. Measuring 28.15 × 45.32 mm with a thickness of 9.62 mm, it is larger than the original 1960s Crash, tailored for modern wrists. The skeletonized pink gold bridges create a visually striking dial, perfectly balancing heritage and innovation.
Caliber 9618 MC and Power Reserve
Inside, the Caliber 9618 MC manual-winding movement powers the watch, offering a robust 72-hour power reserve and operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). This combination of aesthetic appeal and mechanical reliability exemplifies Cartier’s mastery of both form and function.
