Owing to the shape of the case, the Coulissant, or Baguette, uses a LeCoultre Duoplan movement, wound by a horizontal crown located on the caseback. Its elongated case has obvious Art Deco inspiration in the louvres on either side of the dial, which also follows the design language, with its alternating round and rectangular indices. The Coulissant is as much jewellery as it is a watch, allowing the wearer to completely obstruct the dial with a sliding piece of yellow gold. Not bothering to replace the batteries nor wind them, he wears the leather straps in and out of the pool and on his many bicycles, explaining: “I’m not spending all this money on these things that I claim I like and not enjoying them.” Coullissant Image courtesy of Monaco Legend Auctions Having said that, Tyler gives it, and his other pieces, the ol’ Andy Warhol treatment. A million-dollar sale later, and the Crash has become a smoking hot watch. While seasoned collectors like Roni Madhvani and John Goldberger recognised the amazing designs of Cartier’s London outfit, it took a while for others to catch on. Whichever origin story of its design you believe in, one thing is for certain – the Crash can thank people like Tyler and Kanye for its mainstream popularity. The obvious one to start with is the big one – the Cartier Crash. But first, let’s give a little more insight into the individual Cartier pieces in Tyler, The Creator’s collection. Not only is this unique for any watch collection, let alone when compared to a stereotypical music star’s, it left me wondering how figures with such interests may influence tastes in the future. ![]() In a recent interview that looked at Tyler as a collector of many things, he describes watches as simply objects that bring him joy – I feel like many collectors could learn from that adage. The Californian’s tastes lie in a brand that’s seen an incredible resurgence in the last few years – Cartier. His collection doesn’t include iced-out Rolexes and Patek Philippes dearer than your first-born, no. Tyler, The Creator, however, is no ordinary rapper. It’ll be no surprise to you to hear that another rapper has been on record showing off their watch collection. The business is a sideline for me, but I strive to put out the best work I can.I/trending 8505 Why the Cartier collection of Tyler, The Creator matters Borna Bošnjak In the next year I will be into a bigger facility and taking on larger projects.
