CARTIER

With a long history of sales to royalty, "the jeweler of kings and the king of jewelers." Cartier is one of the most prestigious jewelry manufacturers in the world. Founded by Louis-François Cartier in Paris in 1847, Cartier International SNC, is a French luxury goods conglomerate which designs, manufactures, distributes, and sells high-end watches, jewelry and leather goods. 

“Cartier watches are not just a symbol of luxury and sophistication; they are a piece of history.”

 
By the early 1900s, Cartier made one of its most significant creations, they designed their first men’s wristwatch with the needs of pilots in mind. Inspired by his close friend, Alberto Santos-Dumont, a pioneer in aviation for whom the watch is named. The distinctive timepiece featured a flat shape and a square bezel, and it became known as the Santos.


Later in 1907, Cartier began a partnership with Edmond Jaeger of the prominent watch brand Jaeger-LeCoultre. Jaeger agreed to be the exclusive supplier of movements for Cartier watches. By this time, the brand was gaining momentum and widespread popularity. That same year, they opened boutiques in London, New York City, and St. Petersburg. As their global presence grew, they started emerging as one of the most successful watch companies in the world.


Following the death of Louis-Francois Cartier’s grandson Pierre in 1964, the remaining family members decided to sell the family business. By 1972, a group of investors led by Joseph Kanoui had bought the company. In the years following the acquisition, Cartier remained a leader in the watchmaking industry.


For over 150 years, Cartier has maintained an unparalleled reputation in the watchmaking industry. Their one-of-a-kind aesthetic and commitment to excellence have allowed them to be highly regarded by peers and collectors alike. The company maintains its headquarters in Paris, although it is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Swiss Richemont Group. Cartier operates more than 200 stores in 125 countries, with three Temples (Historical Maisons) in London, New York, and Paris.


Cartier has an extensive history with watchmaking and design, and they’ve pioneered many trends and innovations in the watch industry as well.
