Cartier Crash Hype (Lifestyle)
August 9, 2024
The Cartier Crash has been one of the most hyped up vintage watches in recent years, especially after being on the wrists of celebrities such as Kanye West, Tyler the Creator, and Jay-Z.
It’s a pretty unique watch, and there is no other watch like it with the case having a melted look. I personally really like the look of the watch and I would totally wear one.
Before the celebrity hype these watches were selling in the $30,000 range, and as of today current market prices for a Cartier Crash ranges anywhere between $100,000 to $200,000.
Cartier doesn’t currently offer the Crash on their catalog, but they have done a few custom orders for special clientele and prices for that range anywhere between $80,000 to $100,000. The market prices reflect the hype, and I don’t see prices going down anytime soon. Cartier does still produce the Crash in limited series, and these rarely end up on the market. Who knows if I’ll ever get the chance to own one or even try one on, but if I don’t I’ll totally be cool settling for a Cartier Tank!
