Cartier Mini Tortue

The Cartier Tortue Mini embodies the quiet elegance of one of Cartier’s most enduring case designs. Introduced in 1912, the Tortue — French for “tortoise” — was among the Maison’s earliest shaped watches, a daring break from convention at a time when round cases dominated.

The present timepiece is crafted in 18k white gold, measuring 30 × 24 mm with a slim 7 mm profile, and fitted with a sapphire cabochon crown — a Cartier hallmark. These rather small dimensions make it the epitome of Chic as it works perfectly with Mini Handbags by the biggest maisons such as the Mini Birkin or the Mini Kelly by Hermes.

True to the Cartier style, its silvered guilloché dial with Roman numerals and blued steel sword hands reflects the maison’s timeless codes, balancing readability with refinement.

Movement & Wearability

Inside, the watch is powered by the manual-winding Caliber 8970 MC, the same movement used on the Cartier Crash non-skeleton models, offering both reliability and traditional watchmaking charm.

Elegant on the wrist thanks to its slightly curved case and paired with a black alligator strap, the Mini Tortue is a watch that speaks softly but with presence: No fuss, just pure elegance and discretion in a world where true luxury is both slow and quiet.

Rarity & Collectability

No longer in production, it surfaces only occasionally in the secondary market, making it a rarely encountered treasure for collectors who appreciate Cartier’s historic shaped watches.
