History

Founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, the company gained prominence under his grandsons. It became known as the jeweler to royalty, securing numerous royal warrants. Cartier introduced the first practical men's wristwatch, the Santos, in 1904. Its historical significance lies in pioneering Art Deco styles and creating iconic collections like the Tank watch and Trinity ring, which influenced global standards for luxury horology and jewelry design throughout the twentieth century.
