Cartier Diabolo 150AnniversaryLimitedModel Ref. 1440

The Diabolo is one of Cartier’s models with a long history dating back to the early 20th century. It is said to have been inspired by the spinning top toy. Sapphire cabochons are set in the side lugs, and its playful, original form conveys the delicacy of Cartier designs from that era. The Diabolo itself is rarely seen on the market, and this is an especially rare model created for the 150th anniversary in 1997. The dial design is proof that it is a limited 150th-anniversary edition. L?C is displayed on the dial as an abbreviation for Louis Cartier. In addition to the classic Roman numerals, the dial also features small Arabic numerals. The balance between the playful design and the distinctive form of the Diabolo is quintessentially Cartier. Although it is an SM size, it measures 27 mm, making it enjoyable even for men who prefer a smaller watch.
