Cartier taken from France language, long time ago precisely in 1847 Louis-Francois Cartier founded the company that became renowned worldwide for its design and production of beautiful jewelry and opulent objects’ d’art. A royal commission in 1904 made Cartier a supplier to Europe’s Crowned Heads of State and led England’s King Edward VII to describe Louis Cartier, grandson of the founder, as the jeweler of Kings, the King among jewelers.
By the early 20th century, Cartier had expanded their business included watches collections. At a time when pocket watches were booming and still considered de rigueur for the distinguished gentleman, Cartier helped popularize the wristwatch, making it a bold fashion statement for men and women as well as a status symbol among the well-to-do. Louis Cartier is credited with create the first men’s wristwatch, the Santos, in 1904.
Other classic designs followed, including Cartier’s signature timepiece–the Tank–which debuted in 1917 during the First World War and was inspired by the tough new war machine the Americans introduced to the fighting in Europe. Cartier’s first water-resistant watch was named after the Pasha of Marrakesh, who requested that Cartier create watch that he could wear while in his swimming pool and not lose track of time.
