Cartier

Today there are many brands, but not every one of them managed to stay afloat. The Cartier brand, whose history is surprising and interesting, has gained great popularity! His products are a real luxury item and envy.

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

In 1917, the most popular watch model was developed and created, the name of which is known to this day - Tank. The product is so named 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 Exhibition of Arts in Paris. It should be noted that among all the exhibits presented at this exhibition, the Cartier product was one of the central ones.

In 1931-1949, the brand based its activity 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. So began the mass production of quality watches with a quartz movement.

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

However, the talent for the artistic depiction of jewelry manifested itself as a teenager, and then developed 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-Francois continued to develop his talent and even studied with one of the best jewelers - Adolphe Picard. He acquired his first small workshop from him and over the next six years managed to accumulate the necessary funds to open the second.

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

It so happened that the brand has become a truly family affair, 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 fame and continue the great work of the Cartier family.

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