Q: What exactly is this Cartier Must Vendôme Vermeil 24mm watch? A: This is a vintage Swiss-made Cartier Must Vendôme from circa 1995, featuring a 24 mm vermeil case, a cream dial with Roman numerals, a blue cabochon crown, a black leather strap and a quartz movement.
Q: What does vermeil mean? A: Vermeil is sterling silver coated with gold. It is a signature material used on many vintage Must de Cartier watches and gives the watch the look of gold with a sterling silver base beneath.
Q: Is 24 mm considered a small watch? A: Yes. A 24 mm case is considered petite by modern standards and wears as a refined, elegant dress watch. It is ideal if you prefer understated vintage proportions rather than a larger contemporary look.
Q: Is this watch quartz, and does it need winding? A: Yes, this watch has a quartz movement, so it is battery-powered and does not need manual winding. As with most quartz watches, the battery will need replacing periodically.
Q: How often should the battery be replaced? A: Cartier recommends battery service for quartz watches roughly every two to three years. On a vintage watch, it is also wise to have the seals and general condition checked at the same time.
Q: Is it safe to wear this watch in water? A: We recommend treating a vintage Cartier as delicate around water unless it has been freshly pressure-tested. It is best to avoid swimming, showering and moisture, especially as this watch is fitted with a leather strap.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced? A: Yes, the strap can be replaced. Because vintage Cartier fittings can be specific, it is best to have strap changes done by an authorised Cartier service centre or an experienced watchmaker.
Q: Does this watch come with original box or papers? A: No. This watch is listed with no accompanying box or papers. Everything included with the item is stated in the product information section.
Q: Are scratches and tarnish normal on a vintage vermeil Cartier? A: Yes. Light scratches, surface wear and some tarnish can be normal on vintage vermeil watches over time. This example is already described with light traces of use and scratches and tarnish on the case, which is consistent with age and careful wear.
Q: How is authenticity checked on a vintage Cartier? A: Authenticity should be judged from the complete watch, including the case construction, dial details, crown, engravings, serial markings and movement, rather than from one detail alone. Buying from a trusted specialist and keeping future service records are always good practice.
