Cartier

Cartier is the "jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers," so declared Edward VII – and it’s an epithet that has endured. Supplying ineffably luxurious treasures since 1847, the Parisian jeweller was founded by Louis-François Cartier, though it was his grandchildren Louis, Pierre and Jacques who transformed Cartier from a boutique into a globally renowned name. The house pioneered platinum as a setting in the 1860s, and ground-breaking expertise was not restricted to jewellery alone; Cartier’s history of haute horlogerie plots an evolution from the jewellery watches of the 19th century to contemporary wrist watches, establishing iconic codes that remain at the heart of its timepieces to this day. Lift the lid on the lauded red box to uncover new heirlooms, whether that be Cartier bracelets sparkling with diamonds or a Cartier ring in shining solid gold.
