Cartier: Assortment, History & New Collection

How was the world-famous luxury product Cartier created? It all began in Paris, in a small side street. At 29, rue Monturgeil, Adolphe Picard owned a jewelry workshop. In 1847, Louis-Francois Cartier took over the business. Picard was Cartier’s teacher at that time, who taught him how to make handmade jewelry. After Picard’s retirement, Cartier’s son, Alfred Cartier, convinced him to offer wristwatches that were also made. The business went well. Cartier was so successful that the French Empress Eugenie became aware of him. After he moved his store to the Boulevard des Italiens in 1859, Princess Mathilde also became his customer.

Trademark

Unique watches became the trademark of the jewelry workshop. In 1898, also son Alfred Cartier entered the watch business and enriched it with many creative ideas. Alfred came to the conclusion that from then on they should also include pendulum clocks in their product range. Around 1900, the Cartier brand’s famous classics were created, such as the Santos, Pasha and Tank models. Two other sons of the former managing director joined in, including Jacques and Pierre Cartier. The business grew and as a result opened its first branch in England, London. Two years after opening, Cartier became purveyor to the English Royal Family. The company had its worldwide success with the “Cartier Santos”, which was the first wristwatch with a leather strap at that time.

Cartier most expensive/priciest piece

Have you ever wondered what is the most expensive piece of the luxury brand? A diamond panther bracelet designed by Cartier wins this title. The bracelet is made of thousands of diamonds and emeralds and is worth around $7 million. It was owned by Wallis Simpson until the former wife of the British king died in 1968. In 2010, it was then auctioned for nearly $5 million at a Sotheby’s auction. The idea for the bracelet was born while Jeanna Toussaint was on a safari tour with Louis Cartier when she spotted a panther in the wilderness. This creation led to a worldwide inspiration for many jewelers: numerous pieces with cat motifs were created. From rings to watches, big cats are still an integral part of the Cartier brand.

The cheapest product, on the other hand, is a simple perfume roller for only 35 dollars. This can be bought on the official Cartier website. The perfume is also called ”Panther” and is sold for 75 ml per piece. Full size perfumes (50-200 ml) are also available from the online store Zamiraa, for both men and women. These are in a price range of 40-80 euros.
