Lot Essay

US$30,000-44,000

The "Crash" model is designed after the "Limp" watch in Salvador Dali's painting The Persistence of Memory from 1931, now exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Dali got his inspiration for the "Limp" watch from camembert cheese and described it with the phrase, "nothing else than the tendor, extravagant and solitary paranoic-critical Camembert of time and space."

Cartier commenced production of the "Crash" watch in platinum in 1992 in a very limited series.
