About the Brand

Cartier, founded in 1847 in Paris, is renowned for its pioneering role in luxury watchmaking. In 1904, it revolutionized wristwatches with the Santos, designed for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, breaking the pocket watch tradition. This innovation continued with the Tank in 1917, an icon of timeless design. Over the decades, Cartier expanded its horological mastery with collections like the Ballon Bleu, Panthère, and Pasha, blending elegance with technical excellence. Today, Cartier remains a leader in haute horology, known for its sophisticated aesthetics, in-house movements, and enduring influence on watchmaking.
