The Collection Privée marks a transitional period in Cartier's watchmaking history. After several years of focusing mainly on lady's quartz watches, Cartier delved into their archives and brought back historic designs that hadn't been in production for many years. The focus of the Collection Privée was on high quality design, movements and craftsmanship. The Collection Privée was offered for ten years, from 1998 to 2008.
