Pocket watch: unique, historically important Cartier pocket watch with original box, gift of the English Royal House under George V. as the Emperor of India to an Indian House of Princes, including documentation from the archives of Cartier
Ca. Ø44mm, ca. 47g, super thin version, 18K gold, platinum and grey-blue enamel, both sides engine turned enamel with white rim, back applied with platinum Indian Prince's monogram with sword and crown, completely set with rose-cut diamonds, super thin version, Cartier precision lever movement, top quality with stripe decoration, 18 jewels, adjusted in 8 positions, No. 5110/5481, original engine turned dial, signed Cartier Paris, blued Breguet steel hands, signed original box, wonderful original condition, in working order, unique collector's item in museum quality. The following Cartier archive information was given to Sotheby's about this watch: "This is a unique piece which was manufactured by Cartier in 1910/1911. The pocket watch was a gift from the English Royal family to one of the many Indian princes dynasties that belonged to the British Empire from 1858 to 1947 and were run as a crown colony under the name British India". The peculiarity of the British-Indian relationship was that only half of the country was directly British ruled, the rest was under the influence and rule of the Houses of Princes. In order to maintain personal loyalty and to maintain the relationship with the English Crown, it was common that lavish gifts were regularly given to these princes families. In Hans Nadelhoffer "Cartier" it says: "...The first important contacts with the Maharadjas were made during the celebrations of the George V coronation in 1911, the same year when Jacques Cartier made his first trip to India. The trip lasted 16 days. To his surprise, he noted that the Maharadjas who welcomed him to their empire were mostly interested in pocket watches, which were popular in Paris and London at the time." According to Nadelhoffer "Cartier" the following order can be found among other things in the Cartier archive documents: "A blue enamelled pocket watch, made for the Maharadja of Kapurthala", whose coat of arms is decorated with a sword and a crown and who received the title of Maharadja in 1911. So this watch, which was made in the same year, could be exactly this one!

Pocket watch: extraordinary rare pocket watch movement of a Cartier "Eclipse-Double-Dial" dress watch, ca. 1920, we only know of 1 more piece!
Ca. Ø38.5mm, no.4041/4841, thin, very fine precision lever movement with Geneva stripes and special fine adjusting device, signed Cartier, 18 jewels, adjusted in 8 positions, lever escapement, main plate numbered, further numbering on the Eclipse mechanism, 2 overlapping engine turned dials, upper dial with Roman numerals 1 - 12, beneath the second dial with the numerals 13-24, blued steel hands, in working order and in good condition. Pushing the pendant button opens the 1st dial "like a curtain", so that the 2nd dial appears. This version of the famous Cartier Eclipse is extremely rare. Only one other example is known to us. In the "normal" version of the Eclipse, a "Jalousie" opens and the dial is visible. According to our research less than 10 of these watches are known so far and only one of them has 2 dials, like this one. A very similar numbered platinum watch was auctioned at Christie's (Cartier 4016/4813) and sold for 78,000 Swiss Francs in 2007! (source: https://www.cortrie.de/go/r2a).
