The success and vast popularity of Cartier is owed to the leadership and the intelligence of its founder back in 1847. Louis Cartier implemented his early passion and enthusiasm in jewellery and timepieces, into the French company. He understood the importance of what people desired and needed in a wristwatch of that era.
Cartier watches were swiftly embraced by royalty. Princess Mathilde in particular, cousin of Emperor Napoleon III became one of the brand’s most loyal customers. In 1902 Cartier opened a boutique on Old Bond Street which to this day is one of the three flagship temples of the Maison, along with Rue de la Paix in Paris and 5th Avenue in New York. Within the following two years, Louis Cartier received an invitation to become King Edward VII’s official purveyor of fine jewellery, which peaked the interest of a long list of Royal families and courts all over Europe who followed in the same footsteps– each one desiring the beauty and the commitment to quality that Cartier represented.
Amongst multiple iconic watch creations, the Cartier Tank watch is perhaps the Maison's most noteworthy design. Worn by the likes of Princess Diana, Jackie Kennedy and Angelina Jolie, the vintage-inspired rectangular case shape mimics the original fighting tanks of the First World War. Cartier Tank watches now come in many forms: the Tank Must, Tank Française, Tank Louis Cartier and Tank Américaine to mention just a few. Whilst adopting the same design principles of the iconic Cartier Tank watch, these evolved versions have, along the way, been showcased with more modern approaches, all collectable for the true Cartier afficionado, with different details in each iteration.
