Cartier

The Cartier family ceased managing the company in 1964, yet it retains its royal watchmaker reputation. The company ranks as the world’s second-largest luxury watch seller and a premier fine jewelry retailer. Cartier SA’s headquarters reside in Paris, France. It was founded by Louis-Francois Cartier in 1847 and succeeded by his son Alfred in 1874. Alfred’s sons, Louis, Pierre, and Jacques, propelled the brand to global acclaim.

In 1904, Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont requested the creation of the iconic “Santos” design, realizing pocket watches weren’t suitable for flying. The Santos became the first upscale wristwatch with a flat face and square bezel, captivating Cartier’s clientele. Today, the Santos 100 model features a visible movement and limited-edition palladium wristwatches with charcoal synthetic leather straps, limited to 150 pieces.

Alongside the renowned Tank, introduced in 1917, Cartier introduced other beloved models in 1912—the Tortue and Baignore. These enduring creations may have drawn inspiration from the new tank machines on the Western Front.

Despite the change in management, Cartier’s legacy of crafting exceptional timepieces and jewelry continues to define elegance and luxury. Explore Cartier’s exquisite offerings at our online store, celebrating over a century of timeless craftsmanship.
