This watch, whose case, bracelet and clasp were designed and made by in Cartier and Jaeger in Paris, may have been retailed in New York. Jaeger and Louis Cartier alike were convinced that the future of timekeeping lay in these practical forms. which were a versatile vehicle for Louis modernist design and lifestyle ideas.
