Reptilemania for La Doña de Cartier

Form, style and palpable sensuality



A phenomenal watch inspired by María Félix, to whom it owes its name. La Doña de Cartier once again makes an entrance. Form, style, palpable sensuality, embracing the wrist in an original alligator strap version. Unashamed, brazen and animal-like, counterbalancing the trapeze-shaped dial, the curve of the glass, the clean edges and strong design that evokes the crocodile, the reptilian fetish of María Félix, the Mexican actress and a great Cartier patron.






A band of scales

Ajewel of a watch for which Cartier has selected the sophisticated, savage quality of an alligator strap. A band of scales, free of topstitching, hugs the case. Nothing breaks the line. A distinct and clean feature that underlines and defines the remarkable graphic design of the dial.

Pure fire in the colours

The colours - a vivid red for the yellow gold, candy-pink for the white gold, Maison burgundy for the pink gold, extreme, fiery boudoir tones in the María Félix style. Watches that also sparkle at night in a diamond version. A show of light, a thrilling and precious spectacle of the La Doña de Cartier watch in a brand newsteel version, which keeps to the original’s bracelet links, snaking its way across the skin in a metallic and stellar sparkle of exhilarating reflections.
