Cartier

Founded in Paris in 1847, Maison Cartier is considered synonymous with elegance, luxury, and timeless design. The brand has played a pivotal role in the history of wristwatches, creating the Santos in 1904 – one of the first models designed for everyday wear – followed by the iconic Tank with its distinctive rectangular case. Among the most famous collections are the Ballon Bleu with its distinctive round case, the Panthère, which picks up on the brand's big cat motif, and the Drive de Cartier, which combines sporty elegance with classic watchmaking. A highlight of experimental watchmaking is the legendary Cartier Crash, whose asymmetrical, distorted case has become a design classic. Models such as the Rotonde and Cartier Privé lines also showcase technical sophistication and complex complications. Cartier stands for formal innovation, high-quality craftsmanship and style-defining designs that have inspired generations of watch enthusiasts.
