Cartier Travel Clock Leather and Silver Case Jaeger 8-Days Movement circa 1930’s

This Cartier travel desk clock from the early 1930’s is a rare item which combines functionality with high quality materials and finishing. The outer case is made of wood, covered in leather, signed both ‘Cartier’ and ‘Made in France’. The clock itself is finished with beautifully executed sterling silver edges and a faceted mineral glass. It furthermore features an off-white tapisserie dial, giving it depth and texture. The classic Cartier layout with black Roman numerals ensures strong legibility, and a touch of the recognizable Cartier design.

Power comes from a Jaeger manual wind 8-day movement, allowing the clock to run for an extended period without frequent winding. The outer travel case measures 12.5 x 4.5 x 13 cm, while the desk clock itself measures 10.7 x 10.7 cm. Examples like this are rarely found, especially in complete and well preserved condition.

– Original wooden travel casing
