Object description

Case and Design

The Cartier desk clock, identified by reference 7531, features a distinctive accordion-shaped case design. The structure consists of a tiered, stepped form that emphasizes the horizontal profile of the clock. The exterior surfaces of the case are finished in burgundy enamel, contrasted with gilt-metal edging that defines the layers of the accordion-like body.

The overall dimensions of the clock are measured at approximately 7.5 centimeters. The construction relies on the combination of the burgundy enamel finish and gilt metal, which serves as a thematic decorative element consistent with the model's design.

  • “بدنه این ساعت با الهام از ساختار آکاردئونی و با بهره‌گیری از مینای براق به رنگ زرشکی (Burgundy Enamel) و تزیینات فلزی با روکش طلایی (Gilt) شکل گرفته است و فرمی پلکانی و چشم‌گیر دارد.”
  • “ابعاد قاب ساعت تقریباً ۷.۵ سانتی‌متر اندازه‌گیری شده است.”

Dial and Timekeeping

The front-facing dial is finished in white and features printed black Roman numerals for hour markers. Time is indicated by a set of black hands. A small aperture is positioned at the 6 o'clock location, providing a display for the date. The dial is signed with the inscription 'Cartier Paris' beneath the 12 o'clock position.

The timekeeping and date functions are powered by a quartz movement. Adjustments to the time are performed via a crown located on the back of the case, while a separate push-button on the rear allows for the setting of the date display.
