It wasn't till the '58 that the design was trademarked and later in '73 that Baignoire became its official model name. This unique and highly elegant oval shape was a bold departure from the mostly round case shapes of its time and remains one of Cartier's most beloved designs. \u003cspan\u003eThroughout the decades, Baignoire watches have been documented on the wrists of notable figures \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eJeanne Moreau to George Harrison, Tyler The Creator and many more. Today, Cartier feels more relevant in the worlds of fashion, music and popular culture than ever before. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular example, circa 1970s is a very desirable mechanical version, easily identified by its \"stepped\" case. It has remained in stunning vintage condition with a highly well-preserved \"Swiss\" dial with hidden Cartier signature at 7 o-clock. It shows no crazing in its lacquer which is difficult to find in this era. The case is equally stunning with well defined stepped edges. All of the caseback markings remain clearly legible with deep, crisp hallmarks and a correct crown. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor anyone looking for a top grade and unique Cartier case shape, this Baignoire is fit for a collection of any level.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52003345826068,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8603\/3428\/files\/cartier-baignoire-78094-mechanical-vintage-watches-collectors-corner-ny.jpg?v=1772461293","url":"https:\/\/collectorscornerny.com\/products\/cartier-baignoire-78094-mechanical","provider":"Collectors Corner NY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
