Cartier Tortue CPCP Monopoussoir Collection Overview

Equation of Space's post on the Cartier Tortue CPCP Monopoussoir highlights a timepiece celebrated for its horological significance and aesthetic appeal. This article delves into why the CPCP collection, particularly this monopusher chronograph, continues to captivate collectors, emphasizing the collaborative genius behind its movement and its enduring desirability.

Matching my watch to my method of transport inadvertently today….

Such a great watch - love the CPCP collection generally but the THA (FP Journe, Denis Flageollet and Vianney Halter) designed monopusher movement is particularly fun: very thin and very satisfying in its operation and winding.

And this dial version is probably my favourite one, too.

Key Points from the Discussion

The Cartier Tortue CPCP Monopoussoir is a highly coveted timepiece, with some collectors regretting missed opportunities to acquire it before its value significantly appreciated.
While the financial return of doubling one's money in 15 years on such a watch is decent, it represents less than a 5% annual return, suggesting that the primary appeal for collectors is often beyond pure investment.
The discussion serves as a reminder for collectors to identify and acquire 'limited/timeless' pieces in the present that are likely to become highly sought after and difficult to obtain in the future.

When I think that for much less than half of this price I could get one some 15 years ago... :(

I know!

It’s a constant reminder to look around for what’s limited/timeless NOW that we might still be yearning for (and be difficult to get) in N years time….
