Cartier

Parisian icons, enduring elegance.

Cartier doesn't make watches the way the Swiss houses do — it makes objects of design. From the Santos of 1904 to the Tank of 1917, each silhouette is unmistakable. Our Cartier inventory is selected for condition, completeness and collector-grade presentation.

Cartier timepiece

Heritage

A century
of conviction.

Founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, the Maison invented the modern wristwatch for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904 — a square-cased instrument with exposed screws and a leather strap. The Tank followed in 1917, inspired by the Renault FT tanks Louis Cartier saw on the Western Front. Both designs remain in production today, virtually unchanged. Few objects can claim that.
