Mini Diabolo 18k Gold 21mm

The Diabolo is already an incredibly charming design by Cartier, and the mini makes it even more playful. The 18k yellow gold round case has a pleasing thickness, while blue cabochons adorn each officer-style lug and the extended crown.

Outfitted with Cartier’s signature white grained dial, black Roman numerals, an outer chemin de fer minute track and blued Breguet-style hands. Powered by a quartz movement for little upkeep, we have paired it with a soft blue leather strap and fastened it with a Cartier 18k yellow gold tang buckle.

Cute, quirky and unmistakably Cartier, it remains a favourite of this writer.
