Available as a special edition in either white gold, yellow gold or platinum, each with a unique number, the Cartier mystery pocket watches made in the 1980’s were inspired by the original Type Cartier Mystery clocks of the early 20th century designed by Maurice Couët. The principle was to create sapphire disks that rotate via gears hidden within the case to give the illusion the hands are floating without apparent connection to the movement.Cartier is a French luxury goods conglomerate company which designs, manufactures, distributes, and sells jewellery and watches. Founded in Paris, France, in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, the company remained under family control until 1964. The company maintains its headquarters in Paris.
