Cartier

Today there are many brands, but not all of them managed to stay “afloat”. The Cartier brand, the history of which is amazing and interesting, has gained great popularity! His products are a real item of luxury and envy.

The history of the brand began in 1847, and almost immediately the company gained fame in the jewelry fashion market in France. The products created by this brand were even part of the world famous exhibition in Paris.

In 1917, the most popular wristwatch model was developed and created, the name of which is known to this day - Tank. The product is named in this way due to the fact that its design resembles the structure of a tank that belonged to the British army during the First World War.

In 1925, the brand became a participant in the International Art Exhibition in Paris. It should be noted that among all the exhibits presented at this exhibition, the product from Cartier was one of the central ones.

In 1931-1949, the brand based its activities on the active production of jewelry for the entire family of Edward VIII. It was cooperation with such eminent personalities that brought even more popularity to the brand.

Since the beginning of the 70s, the French brand began active cooperation with Swiss manufacturers. Soon, the creators of the brand became the owners of one of the watch factories in Switzerland. This is how the mass production of quality watches with quartz movements began.

The founder of the brand is Louis-Francois Cartier, who began his great career with a small workshop specializing in jewelry. In early childhood, nothing foreshadowed a career in this area, since the whole family of little Louis was convinced that the son would follow in the footsteps of his father, the owner of a workshop that produces powder horns.

However, the talent for artistic portrayal of jewelry showed itself in adolescence, and then grew into a passion for their creation. The mother of the talented Cartier was extremely unhappy with the choice of her son, because she considered gold to be very unreliable and insisted that Louis continue his father's business.

Fortunately, Louis-François continued to develop his talent and even studied with one of the best jewelers - Adolphe Picard. He bought his first small workshop from him and over the next six years managed to save the necessary funds to open a second.

The rise in popularity of jewelry talent happened when one of the friends of Napoleon Bonaparte's own niece visited his modest shop and bought three brooches, which became the "key" that opened many roads.

It so happened that the brand has become a truly family business, so it passed from generation to generation. The grandchildren of Louis-Francois were also engaged in the manufacture of jewelry, but after their death, unfortunately, the company was divided and sold to owners from different countries, who managed to preserve its glory and continue the great work of the Cartier family.

Collections of jewelry amaze with their unusual designs. There are not so many of them as it might initially seem, but the number of jewelry models and watches in each of them is quite large, and the products are very diverse.
