Doña de Cartier
The scene is unbelievable, a story that seems unreal but is true, living up to those legends that are the substance of dreams. It sounds amazing but one day, the famous Mexican actress María Félix turned up unannounced at Cartier. The amazing part was the crocodile. Small, maybe, but well and truly alive. The Mexican star announced her desire to have a necklace made in the shape of the crocodile. At Cartier, nothing is impossible, the unpredictable is welcomed with open arms.

The piece was ready a few months later. Utterly lifelike, the creation had been sculpted and embellished in the image of the original, demanding a virtuoso performance from its maker who had to work fast to finish it before the original model grew any bigger…
This is an amazing and colourful story, and Cartier has captured its eternally modern essence through its very contemporary watch, La Doña de Cartier.
