History of Cartier
Cartier was founded in 1847 by the French goldsmith Louis-François Cartier. However, its worldwide fame is due to his grandson Louis Cartier, who manufactured the first truly working wristwatch in 1904: the Santos model. In that year, aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont asked his friend to make him a clock with which he could tell the time while flying. This is how the idea of making a wristwatch was born: a revolution for that time.
In 1914, Cartier first used the panther, the symbol for which the company is known: He created a watch that imitated the dots of the coat. In the 1930s, watch designer Jeanne Toussaint joined the company and made the symbol bigger by depicting it on more and more objects: powder boxes, jewelry boxes, etc. The panther symbolized the woman as an object of desire.
Today, Cartier is known worldwide as one of the most prized and respected luxury goods. The brand produces jewelry, watches, perfumes, accessories and glasses, all renowned for their craftsmanship, elegance and quality and worn by countless movie stars and even royals.
