Hi everyone! Here’s an off-beat and unique piece you don’t see everyday: a rare Cartier travel desk and alarm clock from the 1980s! Featuring a beautiful manual winding movement (serviced in June 2025) with a crisp alarm, this will make for a fantastic companion on your travels, as well as doubling as a unique home decor piece. Case Dimensions: 7.5cm by 7.5cm, with a thickness of 2.5cm These desk clocks from Cartier were made in small numbers back then, with not many surviving examples today—most of them were the quartz-powered versions as well. This example however, holds a beautiful manual winding movement with an audibly crisp alarm function that adds to its charm. Its brown tortoiseshell-patterned enamel frame with a gold plated frame is also in excellent condition. Some light chipping can be seen on the corner edges due to age, but is otherwise negligible. The white dial is in perfect condition with zero signs of age, with the all black Roman numerals and texts finely printed. Its original glass is also free from any scratches or marks, and shows off the white dial with maximum readability. Perhaps the highlight of this piece is its sculpted Cartier ‘double C’ leg-stand in brass that allows the clock to be placed on any flat surface. The back is in a sturdy solid brass. The time and alarm hour are set by adjusting the blue cabochon stone-set knobs, while the movement is wound up by turning the Cartier ‘C’ shaped handle counter-clockwise.  The winding experience is both tactile and audible, and you’ll feel gradual resistance building up when turning the handles. 3-4 turns a day will be more than enough to keep the clock perpetually running. The alarm is activated by a small slider (by flipping it up), and it’s stopped simply by flicking in down when the alarm goes off. For this lovely and rare Cartier piece, I’m looking for a very fair $1150 + shipping (usually $50) from Singapore via reliable Fedex to wherever you may be. I accept payment through Wise (preferred), Revolut, or bank wire. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to jump on a video call for the added assurance too.
