Mahesh's exquisite photography of a Cartier Cloche Monopoussoir in Platinum brings to light a timepiece often overshadowed by its more famous siblings. His detailed images and initial thoughts provide a rare glimpse into the subtle charm and restrained elegance of this unique reference. This article explores why the Cloche, with its distinctive design and salmon dial, resonates deeply with collectors.

Unlike Crash, Cloche isn't something well credited but I feel it is quriky at the same time restrained timepiece.

hope you like & thanks to the collector prive who allowed me picture his timepiece.



In Platinum, the salmon dial and the 'rouge' 13 gives great contrast while remaining restrained.









Hope you liked it.

Best,
mahesh.,

and I will show you mine ) It remains one of my favourite watches of all time and Mahesh will confirm that I have had quite a number. This cloche provides an undeniable feel good factor whenever I look at it or wear it, partly due to the case design, partly due to the perfect hue of the salmon dial, partly due to the Breguet hands and partly due to that '13' on the dial. For me, it is Cartier at its best!

but I don't get the dial angle placement for a wrist watch. Sorry.

Was really considering the RDLP13 version before I settled on the Collection Privé white dial: just really liked how comparatively restrained it was. Not the best shot - in a bit of a hurry…. Both really beautiful variations, in my view!

Thanks a lot for your suggestion: if I have the chance to travel to Malaysia, I'll gladly let you know so we can settle a little GTG! Cheers, Emmanuel
