Do\xf1a de Cartier

Description

The scene is unbelievable, a story that seems unreal but is true, living up to those legends that are the substance of dreams. It sounds amazing but one day, the famous Mexican actress María Flix turned up unannounced at Cartier. The amazing part was the crocodile. Small, maybe, but well and truly alive. The Mexican star announced her desire to have a necklace made in the shape of the crocodile. At Cartier, nothing is impossible, the unpredictable is welcomed with open arms.Photo: © Cartier 2006The piece was ready a few months later. Utterly lifelike, the creation had been sculpted and embellished in the image of the original, demanding a virtuoso performance from its maker who had to work fast to finish it before the original model grew any bigger…This is an amazing and colourful story, and Cartier has captured its eternally modern essence through its very contemporary watch, La Doña de Cartier.Large model in pink goldLA DOÑA DE CARTIERLa scne est inouïe, rcit irrel mais vrai, la mesure des lgendes qui font rêver. Il y a en effet comme un grain de folie imaginer, un jour, la clbre actrice mexicaine du nom de María Flix, surgir chez Cartier. L'insens est encore venir. Il s'agit d'un crocodile, petit certes, mais vivant. La star mexicaine fait part de son souhait : reproduire pour elle l'animal sous la forme d'un collier. Ici, rien n'est impossible, le fantasque a ses entres.L'œuvre verra le jour quelques mois plus tard. Une cration plus vraie que nature dessine, sculpte et sertie d'aprs l'original et qui ncessitera de la part du joaillier une virtuosit d'autant plus incroyable qu'il faut faire au plus vite avant que le modle ne grandisse… Histoire merveilleuse, exubrante dont Cartier traduit aujourd'hui l'ternelle modernit travers l'actualit de la montre La Doña de Cartier.Grand modle en or rose
