The white dial features bold blue Roman numerals that deliver excellent legibility while maintaining Cartier’s refined elegance.

These include medium and large sizes in steel, attractive steel-and- gold two-tone combinations, and full gold versions.
A sporty, large steel version with a deep blue dial paired with a matching rubber strap is also part of the lineup. All models showcase the updated H-link bracelet or strap and retain the signature details that made the original Roadster a modern classic.
Cartier Baignoire
Cartier reinterprets one of its most sensual icons with fresh creativity at Watches and Wonders 2026. The Cartier Baignoire watches return with a striking new expression featuring the iconic Clous de Paris pattern extended sculpturally across the case and supple bracelet. The oval silhouette, always sensual and fluid, now wears an extended Clous de Paris pattern that flows seamlessly from the case onto the supple bracelet. This intricate pyramidal motif catches light from every angle, creating a shimmering, textured brilliance that elevates the watch into a true object of opulence and quiet luxury. The watch features minimalist timekeeping functions of hours and minutes, and showcases the Cartier signature blue cabochon crown. Soft yet confident, the Cartier Baignoire exudes timeless femininity with a modern edge, a piece that feels both intimate and bold, perfectly suited for those who appreciate refined elegance with a strong personality.
In addition to the yellow gold model with Clous de Paris finishing, Cartier has introduced another captivating variant of Cartier Baignoire among the Cartier 2026 new watches. This version exhibits a dazzling, fully diamond-set version adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds across the case and bracelet, a diamond-loaded dial, along with other precious metal interpretations that further highlight the watch’s sculptural beauty and luxurious presence.
Cartier Myst de Cartier
Cartier presents one of its most poetic and jewellery-focused creations at Watches and Wonders 2026 with the Myst de Cartier. Conceived as a sculpture for the wrist rather than a conventional watch, the Myst has no clasp, it is a flexible, bead-like talisman bracelet that slips effortlessly over the hand. At its centre sits a tiny square case with a pavé diamond dial framed in onyx, surrounded by alternating modules of polished gold and hand-painted black lacquer, featuring the basic time functions. This mysterious and sensual piece takes 112 hours of setting work and exudes quiet opulence and modern mystique. The Cartier Myst watches feel like wearable art that is discreet yet captivating, perfect for the woman who values subtlety, craftsmanship, and a touch of enigma.
In addition to the yellow gold and black lacquer accents, Cartier has created a fully diamond-intensive white gold variant set with brilliant-cut diamonds. Both interpretations of the Cartier 2026 new watches highlight the exceptional craftsmanship of the maison as a jeweller and a watchmaker.
Cartier Crash
One of the most talked-about pieces at Watches and Wonders 2026 is the Cartier Crash in its bold skeletonised form. The iconic distorted case takes on an even more dramatic personality in platinum, with exposed mechanics revealing the new Manufacture 1967 MC calibre. Roman numerals cut in the dial and blued steel hands, paired with a ruby cabochon on the crown, add a rich, mysterious depth to this rebellious icon. For Cartier Crash watches the shaped movement is the technical feat achieved by the Maison, sitting harmoniously in this cult design.
Playful yet sophisticated, the Cartier Crash exudes nonconformist elegance, a watch for those who appreciate Cartier’s whimsical side and extraordinary craftsmanship.
Cartier Tortue Chronographe Monopoussoir
Cartier revives and elevates the Tortue Chronographe Monopoussoir as part of its prestigious Privé collection at the Cartier Watches and Wonders 2026 showcase. Housed in platinum with refined burgundy detailing, this elegant cushion-shaped chronograph features a single monopusher at the crown and the ultra-thin Manufacture 1928 MC movement. The elegant piece from Cartier Tortue watches is the Maison’s thinnest chronograph with the movement just 4.30mm thick. The oversized Roman numeral XII and blued-steel hands give it a strong, confident presence.Sophisticated and rare, the Tortue Chronographe Monopoussoir radiates quiet power and horological refinement, this watch is ideal for collectors who seek both mechanical excellence and timeless Cartier style.
Cartier Santos-Dumont
Cartier revives the pioneering spirit of the Cartier Santos-Dumont at Watches and Wonders 2026 with a refined new interpretation. The iconic square case now features an exceptionally thin profile and is paired with a groundbreaking bracelet made of 394 individually hand-polished links, each just 1.15mm wide. The highlight is the rare obsidian stone dial, a delicate, volcanic glass that creates a deep, mirror-like black finish with subtle natural variations. Lightweight yet substantial, the Santos-Dumont radiates adventurous elegance and quiet confidence, a watch that honours aviation heritage while feeling thoroughly modern and luxurious on the wrist.
Cartier, along with the yellow gold model with obsidian dial, has introduced two more variants of the new Cartier Santos-Dumont watches, in platinum and yellow gold both with silver dials; all three variants maintain the collection’s signature exposed screws and refined proportions.
Cartier Tortue
Cartier brings back the graceful Cartier Tortue with a fresh perspective at Watches and Wonders 2026. The cushion-shaped case has been subtly softened with more generous, rounded lines while preserving its elegant DNA. Available in a champleve enamelled version, the new Tortue collection offers high jewellery appeal. As all the fine things take time, it took 80 hours to enamel the dial and 50 hours to enamel the case of this masterpiece, and each piece employed 15 tones and 36 separate firings. Timeless and versatile, the Tortue exudes understated sophistication with a strong personality, a classic that feels equally at home as a watch and an art piece.
