Cartier. Cartier jewelry has a very long sales history among royalties and celebrities. The essence that a piece of Cartier jewelry has is incomparable and exquisitely luxurious. They are widely well known for their designer watches and Fashion Jewelry. They have been leading the jewelry market for many years now.

Back in 1847, Louis-Francois Cartier founded Cartier in Paris, France. That same year, his sons, Louis, Pierre, and Jacques, took over the company and expanded its market worldwide. In 1904, Alberto Santos-Dumont, a very good friend of Louis and a Brazilian aviator, complained to his friend that using pocket watches was very inconvenient while flying. Cartier decided to make a flat wristwatch with a unique square bezel. This watch became popular fast buy many other customers. This paved way to Cartier’s first men’s watch.

Louis moved to Rue de la Paix in 1899 and took responsibility for the Cartier branch in Paris. He is also responsible for the most acclaimed designs, wristwatches, and unique orientalist Art Deco designs. Due to the popularity that Cartier Watches became, Cartier signed a contract in 1907 with Edmond Jaeger. Edmond agreed to solely provide Cartier with watch movements.

Jacques took charge of the London branch. Pierre took charge of the New York branch in 1909. In 1917, Pierre moved into the Neo-Renaissance mansion of Morton Freeman Plant, son of the railroad tycoon Henry B. Plant. He, later on, acquired the mansion for $100 and a double-stranded natural pearl necklace, which at the time was valued at $1 million dollars.

After the death of Pierre in 1964, Cartier was sold. In 1972, Joseph Kanoui and a group of investors bought the Cartier business in Paris. The group’s president, Robert Hocq, and Dominique Perrin began introducing new designs and ideas. By 1974 and 1976, the group bought the rest of the branches. Thus, giving birth of the modern Designer Jewelery we know of today.
