Cartier - a luxury watch brand with a pioneering spirit
In 1847 Louis-François Cartier took over the jewelry workshop in Paris. The watch segment was expanded with the son Louis-François-Alfred (1898) . He was a gifted designer and an outspoken esthete.
This is reflected in Cartier's iconic watch models.
The creative space of Paris became too small for Cartier - in 1902 he opened a branch in London , followed by St. Petersburg (1908) and New York on Fith Avenue (1909).
In the 1970s, the company went through a crisis and is no longer family-owned.
Robert Hocq and Alain Dominique Perrin (1974) take over Cartier and rejuvenate the brand.
Today , Cartier is one of the largest brand companies in the world, part of the Richemont Group .
The classic watches from Cartier
Cartier Santos
In 1906 , Cartier created the legendary Santos . It was named after his friend Santos-Dumont, the aviation pioneer . He wanted a watch with which he could tell the time and not have to pull a pocket watch out of his coat during his daring maneuvers in the air. The Cartier Santos is the first pilot's watch.
THE PIONEER


Cartier Tank
The Tank came onto the market in 1917 - the classic with a square case/dial. The namesake for the tank was the British tanks from the 1st World War - the tanks. The tank is characterized by simple, clear shapes and is based on the Art Deco style.
THE STYLE ICON
Cartier Pasha
In 1932, Cartier made the first waterproof watch for the Sultan of Marrakesh. He approached Cartier with the desire to have a watch he could go swimming with. Hence the Pasha's feature, a screw-off metal cap with a rubber seal that protects the crown. And so that it doesn't get lost, it has been secured with a shackle and a chain.
In 2020 the CARTIER PASHA was relaunched


Cartier Tortue
In 1912, Cartier introduced the Tortue . The shape is revolutionary for Cartier - especially at the time when most watches were round. She resembles a turtle , hence the name Tortue . The first movements came from Jaeger-LeCoultre, with whom they had been working since 1907.
The Tortue is an elegant, classic wristwatch.
THE TIMELESS
Cartier Drive
It is one of Cartier's newer developments - launched in 2016. A watch in the shape of a pillow and is often referred to as the dress watch. A slightly curved sapphire crystal and a guilloche dial with Roman numerals and blued hands.
