Cartier the watchmaker, a path marked by success
It is in 1888 that the first reference is made to wristwatches in the Cartier archives. At round the same time, a large number of pocket and chatelaine watches appear, but for Louis Cartier, the future lies in wristwatches. It is the start of a long love story, which is to give birth to many other models: the Tonneau watch, the Tortue watch, the Tank watch, the Baignoire watch, the Panthere watch, the Pasha watch... Names that call to mind a certain shape, a winding crown, time markings, hands, a dial...
that all keep Cartier time.
