CARTIER WATCHES

Cartier is one of the most prestigious luxury brands on the planet, and they have a long history of producing stunning timepieces. Cartier was founded by Louis-Francois Cartier in 1847 in Paris, France. They were one of the first brands to create wrist watches when its competitors were still producing pocket watches.

Cartier was the first watchmaker to produce square dials. In the early 1900s, Cartier designed the Santos watch for the Brazilian pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont which is considered the world’s first pilot watch. The Santos line of Cartier watches is still incredibly popular to this day. The Tank line of watches is also very successful and is known for its sophisticated small rectangular dial and striking Roman numerals.

Cartier may be famous for its jewelry, but it has a strong reputation in the watchmaking world thanks to its in-house movements and beautifully crafted dials which it produces at its own factory in Switzerland, the global hub of watchmaking. Watches of Cartier have long been worn by the rich and famous, including Yves Saint Laurent, Andy Warhol, and Elton John, to name a few.

Cartier now produces a wide range of different watches and has attracted clients from all over the world. Cartier is the perfect blend of Swiss watchmaking combined with Parisian luxury brands. The result is impeccably designed timepieces that feature stunning movements and the latest technology. If you are interested in adding a truly unique wrist watch to your collection that will certainly be a conversation starter, then you can’t go wrong with a Cartier watch.

Cartier continues to innovate and develop its line of watches. Now the company produces sports, dress and ladies watches. Cartier’s most popular models continue to be the Tank and the Santos, which ooze Parisian sophistication. Here are some incredible Cartier watches that would improve any enthusiasts collection:

• Tank – This watch was developed in 1917 after Louis Cartier saw tanks on the frontline in WWI. He gifted the first Tank Cartier watch to General John Pershing for commanding US troops in Europe. This watch features Cartier’s signature rectangular dial and has a timeless look.
• Santos – The Santos was first developed way back in the early 1900s for Brazilian pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont. This is considered the world’s first pilot wrist watch. Cartier continues to innovate this timepiece and update its design while adding the latest technology.
• Ballon Bleu – This innovative Cartier watch has a gorgeous round dial with impressive Roman numerals and lovely blue hands. The watch has a classic yet refreshingly modern look that results in a striking and versatile timepiece.
• Drive de Cartier – The Drive de Cartier is quintessentially Cartier, thanks to its patterning of the guilloché dial and the blue sapphire winding crown. This watch is uniquely shaped and is a fresh take on a classic dress watch.

A Cartier wristwatch is the ideal combination of Swiss watchmaking and French design. Cartier watches ooze luxury and a great change of pace from other high-end watch brands that produce endless sports models. Cartier watches have unique cases and striking designs while still possessing state-of-the-art in-house movements combined with superb finishes.

Cartier has been producing superior watches for well over 100 years and has done an amazing job reinventing classics like the Santos and appealing to a younger audience.
