Cartier draws attention to its hypnotic “Hypnose”

Undoubtedly an icon in the making, the new Cartier “Hypnose” collection will entice women to its dizzying design that is both hypnotic and endlessly alluring

With stylish and bold lines, as well as contrasting tones which make the head spin, the Hypnose watch seems to whirl the highly distinguished Cartier timekeeping into a never-ending spiral. Promising a jewellery watch of hypnotic fascination, it features the elegance of the oval form, edged with diamonds, which appears feminine, subtle and definitively Cartier with an essential brilliance.

While the oval case shape is not new for Cartier, the Hypnose has managed to reinvent it in fresh and modern way. It features a flattened oval case that is further accentuated by an outer oval element, set with diamonds graduated in size, which frames the inner case. 

Featured in three versions using a quartz movement, one comes in high jewellery (all diamonds); one in pavé dial with black lacquer and diamond-set bezel; and one with the pavé bezel with silvered dial and characteristic Roman numerals. All three versions are available in white and pink gold in small and large sizes.

The graphic ellipses of pure, jewel-like white are accentuated by the luminosity of pavé-set diamonds to create a watch that falls halfway between sophisticated evening attire and exquisite day wear. Movement, perspective and optical illusions are encapsulated by the virtuosity of savoir-faire in the black lacquer filling the hollows together with the diamonds illuminating the hours from one oval form to the next.
