In honor of Singapore’s 50th anniversary as an independent state, Cartier will be presenting “Étourdissant,” a stunning public exhibit with more than six hundred exquisite pieces of haute joaillerie, haute horlogerie and other objets d’art. More than sixty of the featured pieces will be making their debut in Singapore. The dazzling colors of the collection are inspired by the changing shades of light and shadow and are presented in three categories: daylight, evening shadows, and artistic crafts. Étourdissant Cartier was held at the Singapore Pinacothèque de Paris on October 31.
