The Mille et une heures de Cartier collection

January 2011

Cartier has undertaken a journey through time with the creation of this spectacular collection of jewellery watches: Mille et une heures, featuring thirty timepieces.

This collection recaptures the time of ancient India, at the frontiers of Rajasthan, the gates of Jaipur and at the sources of the great Mogul art of decoration. It could be the title of a story or legend from a dynasty that is over four centuries old, but here it is an enchanting treasury of 16 unique timepieces that required between 500 and 1,500 hours of work in the Cartier workshops.
