There is a meaningful distinction between a watch that incorporates jewelry and a jewelry object that tells time. The new Myst de Cartier, introduced at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, belongs definitively to the latter category—and makes no apology for it. It is one of the most ambitious métiers d'art objects Cartier has presented at the fair in years.

Introducing: Cartier Santos-Dumont on Bracelet and Obsidian Dial (Live Photos)
The Santos-Dumont has always lived at the elegant end of the Cartier canon, dressier than the Santos de Cartier, closer in spirit to the original 1904 commission for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. Until now, it has been primarily a strap watch. For Watches and Wonders 2026, Cartier introduces three Large Model Santos-Dumont references fitted with a new metal bracelet.
Introducing: Cartier Baignoire Clous de Paris (Live Photos)
There is a particular confidence required to cover a watch's every surface, including the dial, case, and bracelet, in a single, unbroken decorative motif and expect it to cohere rather than overwhelm. Cartier demonstrates exactly that confidence with the 2026 Baignoire, which extends the Clous de Paris hobnail pattern across the entire piece.
Introducing: Cartier Privé Tank Normale on Platinum Bracelet (Live Photos)
Ten years of Cartier Privé is, by any measure, a remarkable run. The program, which has worked through the Crash, the Tank Cintrée, the Tonneau, the Cloche, and others since 2015, has collectively demonstrated that Cartier's archive is deep enough to sustain a decade of serious collector-grade reinterpretations without once reaching for the obvious.
Introducing: Cartier Roadster—The Return of a 2002 Icon (Live Photos)
After more than a decade, the Cartier Roadster returns at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026—and this is not a simple reissue. The original, launched in 2002 and discontinued around 2012, drew its identity from the aerodynamic lines of 1950s sports cars: a tonneau-shaped case, a boldly integrated crown, and a dial that borrowed its visual energy from the instrument cluster.
Introducing: Cartier Crash Squelette—A Privé Collection Watch Limited to 150 Pieces (Live Photos)
Cartier has never been a brand to leave well enough alone, and the Crash Squelette—the French term for skeleton—is the clearest possible demonstration of that instinct. Debuting the new in-house manual-wound 1967 MC calibre, this is not simply a more open version of an existing reference— it is a reconsideration of what a skeletonized Crash can actually be, and in platinum, it couldn’t get any better.
Introducing: Cartier Santos Titanium and Santos Black SuperLuminova Dial
Cartier introduces two new iterations of the Santos icon, pushing boundaries with innovative titanium and luminous adventure. Every detail counts in mid-flight—a philosophy that guided Alberto Santos-Dumont over a century ago and continues to define the Santos de Cartier today. Cartier's latest releases demonstrate that innovation isn't about reinvention; it's about thoughtful evolution.
The Cartier Baignoire: An Oval Icon's Century-Long Journey from Royal Gift to Modern Status Symbol
In a world of circular conformity, one watch dared to be different—and in doing so, became timeless. There's something almost rebellious about the Cartier Baignoire. While the watch world was content with its round traditions in the early 20th century, Louis Cartier stretched the conventional circle into an elegant oval, creating what would become one of horology's most enduring and quietly influential designs.
From the Editor: The Cartier Santos is a Masterclass in Versatile Luxury. Now with Three Size Options.
In the pantheon of luxury timepieces, few watches can claim the distinction of being both historically significant and effortlessly contemporary. The Cartier Santos stands as perhaps the finest example of horological versatility, seamlessly bridging the gap between sporty functionality and refined elegance in ways that continue to surprise even seasoned collectors.

The Cartier Tank Louis Cartier felt like it had wrapped up a chapter with the Mini in 2024, but this new release at Watches & Wonders 2025 throws a curveball, in the best way possible.
