Cartier Crash NOS Salmon Dial

Cartier Crash NOS Salmon Dial – GB10844M

This special-order Cartier Crash in white gold with a salmon dial is one of those rare creations where everything simply falls into place. The Crash has always been Cartier’s most expressive, almost surrealist design—an Anglo-French icon with a spirit entirely its own. Pairing that form with a classic salmon dial brings a touch of Swiss horological heritage, creating a fusion that feels both surprising and completely natural.

Salmon dials may have trended briefly in recent years, but their true significance predates any modern craze. Historically, salmon on white metal has been reserved for some of the most desirable special-order pieces from the great maisons—Patek Philippe’s prominent chronographs, early Royal Oaks, even select Langes. It is a colour long associated with clients who requested something personal, something quietly distinctive. Here, on the Crash, it adds an elegant nod to watchmaking history without diluting the artistry of the design.

This piece was created during Cartier’s increasingly sought-after NSO (New Special Order) period, when the maison was opening its doors once again to imaginative, client-driven commissions. Cartier remains selective—many proposed combinations never pass the design studio—but when a configuration is this balanced, approval feels inevitable. It embodies the spirit of Cartier London in the 1960s, when client creations were a hallmark of the house.

The result is a Crash with true presence: charmingly unconventional yet sophisticated, playful yet rooted in tradition. It is a watch that feels personal, not produced; expressive, not excessive. A perfectly judged example of what makes the Crash one of the most compelling designs in all of modern watchmaking.
