Alexis Barthelay Mini Cintree

Alexis Barthelay Curved Tank – Black Lacquer Dial

A sleek and highly stylized vintage wristwatch, this Alexis Barthelay is a striking example of late 20th-century design distilled into its purest form.

Housed in a beautifully sculpted curved rectangular stainless steel case, the watch is defined by its elongated silhouette and bold minimalist dial. The glossy black lacquer dial is reduced to only the essentials, with slim silver-tone hands floating against a deep black backdrop, creating a clean, architectural look that feels both understated and unmistakably elegant.

Its most distinctive feature is the watch’s elegant arched profile, allowing it to follow the contour of the wrist with remarkable grace. This sculptural case design gives the piece a jewelry-like presence and makes it feel far more refined than a standard rectangular dress watch. The polished steel surfaces further enhance the sharp, modernist lines, while the cabochon-set crown adds a subtle touch of classic French luxury.

Signed A. Barthelay on the dial and finished with a Swiss Made stainless steel case, this piece captures the refined, fashion-forward watchmaking language associated with Parisian design houses of the era. Slim, elegant, and quietly distinctive, it is a watch that wears like an object of design rather than simply a timepiece.
