The 1970s marked a major revival in watch design at Cartier. This period saw the introduction of the Must de Cartier line, as well as the reinterpretation of many historic case shapes originally designed—and in some cases already produced—since the early 20th century.
The Ellipse model is a perfect example of this renewed creative direction. Produced in various sizes and proportions, it reflects Cartier's desire to revisit and modernise its historical design language while reaffirming the maison's distinctive aesthetic identity.
