This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

The tonneau-shaped "tortue à pattes" or "turtle on legs" wristwatch was designed by Louis Cartier in 1912. The shape of the case was made to resemble a turtle, a very popular animal during this era and symbol of good fortune and longevity in many civilisations.

The model was the precursor of numerous watchmaking creations in the early 20th century. The first watches were destined for ladies, the gentleman's version featuring a single button chronograph was available as of 1928.
