The Cartier Crash, introduced in 1967, is now one of the most collectible watches on the planet. Among celebrities, it has since reached cult status.
There is a popular story, though partly mythical, that the design was inspired by a Cartier Baignoire Allongée watch that had been damaged in a car accident. The melted and deformed appearance of the watch supposedly inspired the Crash design. While this story adds an element of mystique to the watch’s history, the actual inspiration is more likely rooted in Cartier’s desire to push design boundaries.
Enough talk, now let’s take a look at celebs rocking this iconic timepiece!
