Created in the first decade of the 20th century, this platinum, diamond and enamel pendant watch is an early model by Cartier Paris. The watch with black enamel case, signed, silvered engine-turned dial with Arabic numeral indicators, jeweled lever escapement movement, blued steel "Breguet" hands, and sapphire winding stem is suspended by two flexible, reverse-graduating lines of old mine and old single-cut diamonds from a grosgrain strap mounted with geometric-form lapel pin and bar slides, set throughout with rose, old mine and old single-cut diamond accents. A Cartier jeweled timepiece of strong modernism, anticipating the Art Deco sensibility by almost 20 years, this rare pendant watch exemplifies the bold originality and vigor of the firm's energetic third generation.

Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: This form of bow brooch was first popularized by Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, the Marquise de Sévigné, a 17th century noblewoman, member of the court of Louis XIV, contented widow, and woman of letters whose affectionate correspondence with her daughter gained a wide audience for the author's wit, vivacity, and gentle wisdom. A portrait of the Marquise wearing a velvet, pearl and diamond bow is housed at the Hôtel Carnavalet, where she once lived with her extended family. During the 18th century, and again during the form's Second Empire revival, the "Sévigné" became a freeform bow jewel...
