Cartier "13" & "13 Paix" Editions
Two sets of limited editions were created by Cartier to celebrate the reopening of the historic boutique at 13 rue de la Paix, in Paris. The first set was launched in 1999, the second in 2022.
More recently (end of 2024), Cartier released a new Paris boutique exclusive Cloche.
All share a common feature: the number 13 at 12 o'clock.
Best, Emmanuel

Cartier "13" & "13 Paix" Editions

Driver or Tonneau for me here.
Or even Cloche. I feel that I need an “odd” shape here, with such watches.
Thank you, Tony.
Driver and Tonneau are the ones that speak to me the most here. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel
Some stunning Cartier’s with great design elements as only Cartier can do.
I thought that first wrist was by Turki — before I opened the posting — and I thought “I had never seen him wear that watch before!”
Yes, it could have been one of Turki's shots!
And it turns out I was wrong about this Cloche: it's a new release from late 2024 and wasn't part of the 1999 salmon limited editions. So I modified the post. Best, Emmanuel
No contest for me!
I picked the special cloche of 2025! Yes you forgot this one although they all look the same to be honest ...
Yes, it seems so.
Because of the salmon dial and lack of information online, I thought this Cloche was part of the 1999 release, but I was wrong. It has a platinum case and was released late 2024. So I modified the post. Best, Emmanuel
I even included a link to your NWA post !
I should have done it from the start, as I always try to.
I actually buy my Cartiers
from 13 Rue de la Paix rather than from Kuala Lumpur so I guessed that must have helped.
Thank you!!
To be honest, I did not even know this cloche existed but even after Cartier asked me if I was interested, it took them two months to decide whether or not I was worthy
Wow, honestly some of these allocations is like trying to get accepted into a top university…
where we also pay them for the privilege of being accepted 🤣🤣🤣 C’est la vie.
I agree! :-)
We seem to have to pay for the best of the best these days as demand exceeds supply.
In fact, I didn't forget it, but I wrongly thought it was part of the 1999 limited edition.
There was no Cloche in 1999. Your gorgeous salmon dial Cloche seems to have been released late 2024. Do you by any chance have the reference number? Best, Emmanuel
Oh great!
I was a bit disappointed when you said that it had been released in 1999 and again in 2022. The reference is CRWHCC0009 assuming the Cartier invoice is correct!
I'm sorry, I got confused because of the complete lack of information online.
Thank you very much for the ref. number. And congratulations on your wonderful Cloche!
The Driver has a unique clasp at 6:00.
Have you ever worn this watch? If so how does it feel on the wrist? Do you have any photos of the side(s) or back? Love this post. Thanks. Greg
Unfortunately, I haven't worn this watch.
Here are some photos I could find of a white gold example, and a yellow gold one. Best, Emmanuel You can also check this page on Loupe This . credit: Bulang & Sons ...
Thanks for the extra photos.
As I understand this watch is designed to be worn sideways on the wrist to facilitate ease of reading while driving (hence the name) so it seems the clasp would occupy the traditional position at the underside of the wrist. I wonder how comfortable this d...
I might be wrong, but I think that this particular Driver
isn't designed to be worn on the side of the wrist as it is too large for it. I think it's designed to be worn on the "flat" top of the wrist. The driver's watches designed to be worn on the side of the wrist are much shorter lug-to-lug, like those below....
That Patek...
I really like crystals that distort the dial. They're kind of contradictory to the basic watch function. And this one in particular DOUBLES the PP logo! Gotta love that!
Thank you!
The image you inserted doesn't show up, but thanks for chiming in anyhow. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you, Blansky.
I'm glad if this thread brings something new. Have a nice Sunday. Best, Emmanuel
I'm glad if this thread brings something new.
Thank you and have a nice Sunday! Best, Emmanuel
I like this Cloche too,
but would probably go for an even "stranger" shape, like Driver or Tonneau. Have a nice Sunday. Best, Emmanuel
