Cartier Crash Bond Street Exclusive Edition - Platinum - 38 MM x 25 MM - Gray Leather Strap - Silver Dial - WGCH0050

While the Crash was born in the “Swinging London” of 1967, this iteration in platinum marks a significant departure from tradition; historically, the original London Crash was never produced in this noble metal. By pairing the avant-garde, distorted silhouette with the weight and prestige of platinum, Cartier has created a timepiece that is not merely a remake, but a sophisticated evolution of a legend.

The dial is a masterclass in respecting heritage, featuring the iconic distorted Roman numerals and blued steel sword hands that follow the case’s surrealist curves. While the dial bears the “Swiss Made” signature, the caseback is distinguished by a special engraving of the New Bond Street boutique emblem, firmly anchoring the watch to its London roots.

Powering this platinum rarity is the Calibre 1917 MC, an in-house, manual-winding movement. Measuring just 2.9 mm in height, this tonneau-shaped calibre was specifically chosen for its slim profile, allowing it to fit perfectly within the Crash’s unique, undulating case. It operates at a traditional frequency and provides a 38-hour power reserve, a testament to the compact engineering required for such an unconventional form.
