Cartier

Louis-François to Louis Cartier

Founded in 1847, Cartier evolved from a Parisian workshop into the “Jeweller of Kings” under the direction of Louis Cartier. From the earliest wristwatches commissioned for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont to the modern icons of the Maison, Cartier blends jewellery savoir-faire with precision watchmaking.

Design-Led Watchmaking

Cartier patented the first practical folding clasp, introduced rectangular and tonneau-shaped cases long before they were fashionable, and continuously reinterprets Art Deco geometry. In-house calibres like 1847 MC, 1904 MC, and Haute Horlogerie complications ensure the beauty is matched by mechanical integrity.

Signature Craftsmanship

Guilloché dials, blued steel hands, and cabochon crowns define Cartier’s visual language. Cases transition seamlessly from polished to brushed surfaces while invisible gem settings and enamel miniature painting showcase the maison’s high-jewellery heritage.
