Says Francesca Cartier Brickell, “This exhibition is extraordinary, with a collection of 34 rare vintage Cartier women timepieces curated from all over the world. The collection explores the early days of the diamond wristwatch from 1915 to the 1930s and makes for a fascinating journey from the tiniest Cartier wristwatch to one surrounded with diamonds mounted on natural pearl straps and the king of diamond wristwatches, the ‘Crash’. And what a genuinely fascinating progression it is. These vintage watches record the changing fashion through the eyes of Cartier and its skilled watchmakers. The 20th Century saw a staggering amount of change in all aspects of life, including fashion, but the one constant from the early days of the 20th Century has been the women’s wristwatch. Francesca Cartier Brickell, a direct descendant of the Cartier family and the author of the book The Cartiers: The Untold Story of the Family Behind the Jewelry Empire, spoke on the family history, shared stories about the vintage pieces, and underlined how Cartier changed over the years continually innovating while focusing on the highest quality in terms of the design, gems and craftsmanship. Showcased at Lotus Arts de Vivre Boutique in Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, this exhibition offers an exclusive look at 34 rare vintage Cartier timepieces, curated by Harry Fane, one of the world’s leading experts and collectors of vintage Cartier. Nicki von Bueren, CEO of Bangkok’s Lotus Arts de Vivre and London based Harry Fane of Obsidian Objets d’Art, have come together for a vintage Cartier watch exhibition – Women Are Forever.
