Cartier, A Touch of French Sophistication

The Cartier house was established by Louis-Franҫois in 1847, its remarkable creations add refinement and distinction; giving an enhanced look to great personalities worldwide. Precious stones and clear lines combine to form astounding pieces of fine jewelry as can be seen in the house’s iconic designs like the Trinity ring, Love bracelet, Panther brooch, and the single nail earrings.

The house was opened in 1899 at 13 rue de la Paix. Right from the start, Cartier developed a strong standing for himself by providing jewelry to families of royalty, earning him the title of “King of jewelers and jeweler of Kings”. Cartier had a penchant for discovering new strategies and materials for creating his jewelry and was one of the first to make use of platinum, in 1904, for the renowned Garland style.

Iconic Cartier collections

The brand’s iconic figure, the prestigious “Panthère” made its debut in 1914. The house’s jewelry creations acquire inspiration from various sources, such as China with its depictions of dragons and beautiful sceneries, India for the alluring “Tutti-Frutti” style, Persia for its mosaic work, and awe-inspiring designs from ancient Egypt. Antique and contemporary ideas are cleverly blended to create some of the most magnificent jewelry collections in the world.

The Cartier brand has acquired prominence in watchmaking as well. The first wristwatch, for Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, was made by the brand in 1904. The house has great skill in merging tradition with modernism as is evident in its wondrous creations: the Santos, the Panthère, and the Tank. The Tank watch got its inspiration from the tanks that moved in to free the city of Paris towards the end of the first world war.
