{"product_id":"cartier-modernist-clock-letter-opener-limited-edition","title":"Cartier Modernist Clock Letter Opener, Limited Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eCartier's take on the letter opener sets a miniature clock into the handle rather than treating the piece as pure hardware, using an oblong case and stretched Roman numerals that echo the house's signature tonneau watch shapes. The dial sits flush at the top of the blade, so the piece reads first as a small clock and only on a second look as a functional desk tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe modernist silhouette, elongated and faceted rather than ornamental, is very much in keeping with Cartier's design language for desk accessories from this period. It is a piece meant to be used daily rather than kept purely for display, opening mail while also giving a glance at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example is numbered 956 of a limited edition of 2000, making it a genuinely scarce piece rather than an open production item. It was made in Switzerland, home to the clock movement inside, and measures 9 x 1 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA well kept piece of Cartier desk design that would suit either a working desk or a display case, and a strong addition for anyone collecting Cartier objects beyond jewelry and watches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collectors Gene","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50215468040330,"sku":null,"price":3290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/1247\/6810\/files\/Cartier_Modernist_Clock_Letter_Opener_Limited_Edition_1.jpg?v=1790376974","url":"https:\/\/collectorsgene.com\/products\/cartier-modernist-clock-letter-opener-limited-edition","provider":"Collectors Gene","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
