I’m An Editor & This Watch Has Been On My Wishlist For Years
Like many in the fashion world, I keep a wish list of designer items I hope to own one day—however unrealistic that may be. On this list are pieces like the black Hermès Kelly bag and, of course, a classic timepiece: the Cartier Baignoire watch.
Defined by its signature oval ‘bathtub’ face (the literal translation of ‘baignoire’ for those who skipped high school French) and a strap option that resembles a bangle, this investment piece is the epitome of timeless style.
This watch has been on my wish list for as long as I can remember. So why haven’t I bought it yet? Because it costs over £12,000. So, until I win the lottery, I’m firmly in the camp of finding something similar to wear for date nights and smarter occasions.
From the affordable version at Urban Outfitters—available in both gold and silver tones—to Breda’s sleek Jane watch, which looks every bit as luxe as Cartier’s, there are plenty of options if you know where to look. Scroll down to see this editor’s top picks.
This investment piece will never go out of style.
