Noble History

Cartier was established 162 years ago in 1847 by Louis-Francois Cartier who took over his master’s workshop in Paris. The company evolved slowly and consistently. It was the founder’s grandsons who managed to propel Artier into the worldwide arena of luxury. By the turn of the century Cartier had become a household name within the richest European monarchies. It had opened exclusive boutiques in France, Great Britain, USA and Russia – the business was on the rise.

1904 was the year when the first Cartier watch was created. Further decades saw the ascend of Cartier into the whirlwind of Art Deco. Cartier watches of that period represent the essence of style and the new careless way of thinking. It was the time when women were liberated from their housekeeping role and men set themselves free from the boring dark suits. The change in fashion required exquisite accessories to go with it – a Cartier watch was an answer for many a dandy.
