In a celebration of craftsmanship and luxury, Cartier and Kapoor Watch Company came together at the French Ambassador’s Residence in New Delhi to present an exclusive evening dedicated to the art of watchmaking. The event, set against the backdrop of post-Diwali euphoria, was an elegant affair, bringing together the city’s elite for an intimate look at Cartier’s signature timepieces and their intricate skeleton designs.
The evening was marked by the iconic elements of Cartier’s design language: the grandeur of Roman numerals, the elegant lines inspired by the Santos collection, and the signature Cartier red that illuminated the walls. Guests were treated to a unique display of watches that celebrated both style and mechanical ingenuity, with a special emphasis on the skeleton watches that showcase the delicate artistry behind horology.
A Showcase of Cartier’s Iconic Timepieces
Among the standout pieces on display were the La Panthère, a watch that embodies strength and independence, with a supple bracelet designed to mirror the grace and poise of a panther. Also featured was the Zelda, a 1930s-inspired model that paid tribute to the legendary American artist of the same name. Both timepieces exemplified Cartier’s ability to combine mechanical precision with artistic expression.
In his remarks, Gaetan Guillosson, Cartier India’s Country Manager, emphasized the craftsmanship behind Cartier’s skeleton watches. “When you look at Cartier’s skeleton watches, you’re witnessing generations of innovation distilled into pure mechanical artistry. This showcase brings together two houses that understand that luxury is not just about what you see but about the story behind every detail,” he explained.
A Tribute to Craftsmanship and Legacy
The evening was also a testament to the collaboration between Cartier and Kapoor Watch Company, a partnership that aims to bring Cartier’s rich history of watchmaking to Indian audiences. Pratiek and Raunaq Kapoor, Directors of Kapoor Watch Company, shared their excitement about presenting Cartier’s renowned “Art of Shaping Time” in India for the first time. “It’s an absolute honour for us to bring Cartier’s legendary brand story to India. Cartier is known for their attention to detail and international experiences, and for the first time ever, we have brought their craftsmanship to our clients, allowing them to touch and feel the true essence of luxury,” they said.
The Craft Behind the Luxury
The event served as a poignant reminder that luxury watches are not merely about aesthetics, but about the years of dedication, precision, and artistry that go into their creation. Behind every Cartier timepiece lies an intricate process of design and refinement, honed over decades of watchmaking history. The evening offered guests a rare glimpse into the painstaking craftsmanship that turns each watch into a work of art—where every detail, from the movement to the bracelet, tells a story of time itself.
As the evening drew to a close, it was clear that Cartier’s legacy in the world of horology continues to be defined by its unrelenting pursuit of excellence, blending tradition with innovation to create timepieces that transcend mere functionality and become symbols of timeless elegance.
