The collection Clash of Cartier

Created in 2019, the collection Clash of Cartier is often forgotten to the detriment of the historical collections of the maison : Juste un Clou (1924), Love (1969) or again Trinity (1971), and yet it truly embodies the renewal of the maison : elegant and rebellious. 

The birth of the collection Clash of Cartier

The collection Clash of Cartier was born as part of a desire of the maison to create pieces with a resolutely contemporary spirit. With jewelry that combines strong visual elements, Cartier wanted to renew its heritage by exploring a bolder and freer aesthetic, while maintaining its timeless elegance. Designed for a bold and independent-minded audience, the collection Clash of Cartier embodies the duality and tension between strength and finesse, between tradition and modernity. There maison even defines it as his “new signature collection" and places in it the hope of one day equaling the success of the famous Juste un Clou, Love And Trinity.

The punk style in jewelry, initiated by Cartier 

Indeed, the aesthetics of Clash is inspired by the iconic elements of the maison while introducing a contemporary twist. We find the influence of certain classic codes of Cartier, notably through the use of geometric patterns and the search for harmonious proportions. However, this collection goes further by exploring a so-called “punk” style, with details reminiscent of the rock and nonconformist spirit of the 1980s.

An identity design, heritage of the maison Cartier

The design of Clash of Cartier stands out for its geometric shapes, contrasting textures and repeated use of patterns. The pieces are decorated with raised studs, round pearls and marked angles, creating a play on surfaces, a design that shakes up the traditional codes of jewelry, as the brand likes to do. maison. 

Made from precious metals such as rose gold, yellow gold and white gold, most of the jewels are most appealing in their all-gold version, effective and sober, but can also be adorned with diamonds or colored ornamental stones such as onyx and chrysoprase; colors that are found repeatedly in Cartier, notably with its iconic panther.

Clash of Cartier : technicality in geometry

In addition to evoking volumes and contrasts, the Crash collection is distinguished by its execution technique and in particular by the mobility of its elements. The studs, for example, are shaped in such a way as to move slightly with the movement of the wrist or finger, bringing a lively dimension to the jewelry.
