Now I'm not sure if I would actually wear one on a daily basis, but from aesthetics point of view - at least for my taste - this watch is such a devastatingly, gorgeous mix of weirdness, class and elegance. It's just so seriously playful, or playfully serious. It's the stuff of legends.

There is actually one watch you could compare the crash to, which is the "Softwatch Exaequo Salvador Dali".

"Recently, the book The Cartiers by Francesca Cartier Brickell dispelled the common origin story of the Cartier Crash: it was never the result of a car crash melting a Cartier Baignoire Allongée, but instead the product of a collaboration between Jean-Jacques Cartier (who ran the Cartier London branch from the 1940s through the 1970s) and designer Rupert Emmerson. Sometimes, a great design is a great design - it doesn’t need some apocryphal story to raise its stature. Such is the case with the Cartier Crash. First introduced by Cartier London in 1967, the Crash has been produced in fits and starts on an extremely limited basis ever since."

Hamilton launched a long series of dramatic asymmetric watches 10 years before the Cartier Crash. Look at the Altair if you want to see avant garde styling pre-dating the Crash.

The ambition with this watch was and is somewhat crazy - to make it actually happen is otherworldly - hands down a stunner and imo clearly deserves its fame and glory! Notorious!
