The Helm / Timone / Gouvernail: #SameOrDifferent

Sunday, April 6, 2025

We all know the so popular Cartier Helm / Gouvernail / Timone with the first examples appearing in the late 1930s and most in the 1950s and 1960s. Such a unique desing, huh? The Cartier-pocketwatch (platinum) on the left was made in 1955, for example. Yes, but the pocketwatch shown on the right (also platinum) was made in 1929: diamonds, rubys and pure Art Deco. And they even share the same dial. #SameOrDifferent? Amazing & Surprising.
