Vermeil offers the weight and nobility of a solid precious metal, with the color of gold. It is the founding material of the Must of Cartier: it enabled the house to offer true precious-metal watches at a price that opened Cartier to an entire generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Vendôme line?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eVendôme refers, at Cartier, to the round brancard case: two stirrups that hold the strap in line with the watch, instead of classic lugs. The design descends from the pocket watches that the house transformed into wristwatches at the beginning of the twentieth century, and its name pays tribute to the Vendôme square. On this Must version, the brancards frame a cream dial designed in circles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are the hands blue?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause they are made of blued steel: heated to a precise temperature, the steel takes on a deep, stable blue that has been one of Cartier's signatures since the house's beginnings. Against the cream dial, this blue stands out better than black and gives the display an elegance that is immediately recognizable — echoed by the blue cabochon on the crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does this watch have only two hands?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy design choice: without a seconds hand or aperture, the cream dial preserves its circular design intact, crossed only by the two blued hands. It is the most pared-back expression of Cartier, conceived for a dress watch read at a glance. The quartz movement works exactly like a three-hand watch, with a battery to be changed every two to three years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suitable for a slim or larger wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a 30mm diameter, 37mm Lug-to-lug and a thickness of 4.5mm, it suits wrists of approximately 15 to 18cm — a guideline, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. Its extreme slimness places it firmly in the dress watch register, wearable by both men and women. The Lug width measures 16mm, making it easy to change the strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54774945382737,"sku":"5900003 095245","price":1.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/cartier-must-vendome-5900003-vermeil-cadran-creme-romains-1990s-atelier-victor-1.jpg?v=1788390824","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/cartier-must-vendome-watch-5900003-vermeil-cream-roman-dial-1990s","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
