Cartier Baignoire: Sculpted for Style Since 1912

Cartier's Baignoire, first conceptualized in 1912, has evolved from an avant-garde shape study into a signature of the maison's feminine design language. Its elliptical silhouette—named for the French word for "bathtub"—combines graceful contours with powerful presence, making it a standout among Cartier's non-round creations.

An Oval That Redefined Elegance

The Cartier Baignoire debuted over a century ago, yet it remains one of the maison's most progressive and enduring silhouettes. With its elongated, bathtub-inspired form, the Baignoire defies convention while exuding softness and sophistication. Models span the decades, from vintage hand-wound references to contemporary iterations with diamond bezels and modern quartz movements.

Case materials include yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, and platinum, with sizes ranging from petite "Mini" models to the more pronounced Baignoire Allongée. Cartier's signature Roman numerals, cabochon crowns, and silvered dials make frequent appearances—subtle markers of the brand's consistent visual language.

More Than a Shape: A Heritage of Form

The Baignoire shares lineage with other boundary-pushing non-round watches in Cartier's archives, including the Crash, Cloche, and Tortue. While overtly feminine in many executions, the Baignoire's long history and daring proportions also appeal to collectors who value architectural horology.

Pre-owned Baignoire watches are perfect for those who appreciate Cartier's legacy of artistic watchmaking—especially design-conscious individuals seeking a timepiece that feels as much like jewelry as it does haute horlogerie.
