Everyone likes Cartier, even the one who tries to seem an aesthet that screws up his face when seeing the famous Pasha – massive and heavy watch decorated with diamonds. What is the secret of this truly magic attractiveness?
Cartier is famous and adored due to many reasons, however watches have always been the main and the most popular company’s product. Exactly watches allowed in the beginning of the 20th century to turn a little jewelry company into a concern whose product has no rivals. Cartier company was founded by Louis-Francois Cartier in 1847 in Paris. In 1867 the company got a great success at an international exhibition in 1867.
1898 was a decisive year in the history of Cartier. In this year Cartier House was headed by 23-year Louis Cartier who began production of watches. It must be noted that the company had produced watches before. In the middle of the 19 century Cartier store sold Jean-Antonie Lepine watch and even two Abraham-Li Breguet watches. The mechanisms were ordered from Audemars & Piguet. However, this sphere was not considered to be important.
Young and energetic Louis Cartier turned watches from occasional product into a true ace. He began production of wristwatches. The company already had such an experience, however, this experience was a sad one. First Cartier wristwatches did not have success, because at that time people preferred to put their watches in pockets.
Alberto-Santos Dumont was the one who set new fashion. He was a pilot and he needed a watch that is comfortable to use in the sky. Cartier developed a wristwatch specially for his friend. In 1911 the model came into market, got fantastic popularity and still has it. First Tonneau watch model that was presented by Cartier in 1906 aroused true delight of public.
Today so peculiar shape of watch is considered a classic one, however, at that time this was a true revolution in design, because there was no other case shape, than rounded one. The success of wristwatches set a stone rolling for development of the company. Cartier turned into a global empire.
In 1908 Cartier began collaboration with European watch & clock Co that supplied Cartier wtih complicated mechanisms (chronographs, wrist repeaters and others). Every new model of that time is a revolution in watch design.
In 1909 one more super model was released –Cartier Tank. Today almost no one remembers that Cartier-Tank was inspired by tanks that were used by English army on the battlefields of the World War I.
In 1920s Cartier began ordering mechanisms from the most famous Swiss watch brands, such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron & Constantin and others.
Today Cartier unites 14 commercial industrial companies that successfully develop the business of Cartier House.
The catalogue of Cartier watches is very rich. It comprises a fantastic range of variously priced watches (beginning with $700 and ending with incredible prices). Every single product by Cartier is an incomparable masterpiece whose quality cannot be overestimated.
