Cartier brings its “Watchmaker of Shapes, Masters of Crafts” philosophy to life through a celebration of timepieces where shape lies at the heart of design. It is an enduring signature of the Maison, continuously reinterpreted through a distinctive vocabulary of iconic forms and silhouettes.
From distinctive shapes to individuals with their own unique identities, the Cartier Watch Community brings together inspiring figures from diverse creative fields, each distinguished by their personal style, talent and vision. This latest chapter features three personalities from different walks of life: Tor Thanapob, Cartier Ambassador and acclaimed actor; Tam Chudaree Debhakam, Owner and Head Chef of Baan Tepa Culinary Space, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant; and Pat Suthithan, Creative Director and Interior Designer. Each offers a personal interpretation of Cartier’s iconic shapes through the lens of their lifestyle and creative world.
Tor Thanapob: Vintage Elegance in Motion
Tor Thanapob shares a quiet moment reading a script in his living room, wearing the new Santos-Dumont, reimagined with a distinctive vintage character. The timepiece features an exceptional gold-finished obsidian dial, crafted from volcanic stone sourced from Mexico, paired with a newly designed flexible metal bracelet.
He then transitions to the Ballon Bleu de Cartier 33 mm, expressing the beauty of rounded forms through its signature circular case and gently curved lines that embrace the wrist. The watch takes centre stage against the atmosphere of an Old Hollywood-inspired photoshoot, capturing a timeless sense of sophistication.
Tam Chudaree: Effortless Sophistication from Day to Night
For Tam Chudaree, a relaxed day at home preparing a meal calls for the petite Panthère de Cartier. The timepiece captures the dynamic spirit of the panther through its square case and unmistakable articulated bracelet, translating Cartier’s iconic design into a distinctly feminine silhouette.
As day turns to evening, Tam prepares the table for an intimate dinner, accompanied by the new Tank Louis Cartier Mini. Crafted in white gold, the rectangular case is enhanced with brilliant-cut diamonds arranged in a new design along the case lugs, adding a refined touch of evening elegance.
Pat Suthithan: Geometry, Architecture and Artistic Expression
Pat Suthithan wears the new Baignoire, featuring an oval yellow-gold case paired with a black lacquered dial and glossy black alligator-leather strap. Its architectural beauty and geometric purity reflect Cartier’s mastery of distinctive shapes.
For another expression of his personal style, Pat appears in a tuxedo wearing the Tortue in yellow gold—one of Cartier’s iconic shaped timepieces. Its updated silhouette features more pronounced curves and refined proportions, photographed alongside the rare Polaroid Big Shot camera, offering a glimpse into his distinctive artistic sensibility and creative perspective.
From intimate personal moments to professional settings and special occasions, Cartier’s diverse shaped timepieces accompany each chapter with unmistakable design signatures. Through their distinctive forms, each watch becomes an expression of the wearer’s personality, lifestyle and creative universe, demonstrating how Cartier continues to transform the art of watchmaking into a language of individual identity.
