LOT NOTES
The “Mystery” clock, so called because of the illusion of floating hands, was conceived by Louis Cartier and the house’s clockmaker Maurice Coüet, with the first models produced in 1912. The clocks remain among Cartier’s most sophisticated luxury productions. Similar mystery clocks of octagonal design are reminiscent of the screen-style models especially popular in the 1920s and 1930s.
