Cartier Crash, London. Platinum 002.

The Cartier Crash is one of those iconic pieces that you just can’t ignore. Its origin stories are legendary (and likely apocryphal)- ‘it’s based on Salvador Dali’s painting,’ ‘it was inspired by a real-world car crash.’

What is true and can be verified right here, right now is that I was inspired to put each Cartier Crash through the Crash test simulator. Each Crash in this collection has a Crashed Crash counterpart.
