The hype over mid-century vintage Swiss made Cartier replica watches from the 1960s and ’70s tends to overlook the popularity of shaped watches in favor of the iconic dress-watch classics of the era, but irregular-shaped watches were an important sub-category of an era in which watch companies, even sports watch companies, were enthusiastically exploring exaggerated forms and new materials. Some, like vintage watch expert James Lamdin of Analog:Shift have told us these UK 1:1 Cartier fake watches are “design forward,” meaning they emphasize shape and materials over mechanical prowess and/or complexity. Whatever you want to call them, they are hot right now as dress watches and small watches make a comback.
