CEINTURE The Cartier Ceinture is the most iconic stepped hexagonal watch design. Cartier first introduced the model in 1927, with a revival in 1973–1974. Baume & Mercier presented its own interpretation through the Quadrato line. As with the original inspiration, the model was offered in a 25 mm size and a slightly larger 27 mm version. Between 1964 and 1988, Baume & Mercier was owned by Piaget, and several Quadrato models featured decorative stone dials influenced by Piaget’s design language. In 1988, Cartier acquired a majority stake in Piaget, and in 1993 these three brands—Cartier, Piaget, and Baume & Mercier—formed the Vendôme Luxury Group. ⸻ TECHNICAL SUMMARY •Brand: Baume & Mercier •Model: Quadrato “Ceinture” •Reference: 38260 •Era: 1970s •Case material: 18k yellow gold •Case shape: Stepped hexagonal •Case size: 27 × 28.5 mm •Dial: Gilt, Roman numerals •Hands: Blued steel •Crown: Original sapphire cabochon •Movement: Cal.

CEINTURE

Cartier Ceinture malli on tunnetuin kuusikulmainen porrastettu kellomalli. Cartier esitteli mallin jo 1927, mutta se tuli uudelleen tuotantoon 1973-74. Baume & Mercier esitteli oman versionsa tästä kellosta Quadrato -mallin kautta. Kuten esikuvansa, malli oli tarjolla 25 mm sekä asettta suuremmassa 27 mm koossa. Baume & Mercier oli vuosina 1964-1988 Piagetin omistuksessa ja monissa Quadrato -malleissa käytettiin myös Piagetin koristeellisia kivitauluja.

Cartier osti enemmistö osakkuuden Piagetista vuonna 1988 ja vuonna 1993 nämä kolme merkkiä Cartier, Piaget ja Baume & Mercier muodostivat Vendôme Luxury Groupin.
