Cartier
Founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, the Maison Cartier stands as an enduring pillar of high jewelry and fine watchmaking. Famous for blending rigorous geometric precision with radical creative daring, Cartier has earned its title as the "Jeweler of Kings and King of Jewelers."
The Signature: True Cartier watches are instantly recognized by their radiating Roman numerals, sword-shaped blue hands, and a sapphire cabochon set into the winding crown.
The Timepieces:
Santos (1904): The world's first modern wristwatch, designed for early aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont.
Tank (1917): A legendary rectangular watch inspired by the clean lines and tracks of military tanks.
