Classic Timepieces Par Excellence From Cartier

Cartier is a pioneering company in the market for wristwatches. Patek Phillippe developed the first wristwatches in the year of 1868 and later in 1904 Louis Cartier made his entry into the field developing the first Cartier wristwatches. These watches instantly became a craze among men and slowly but surely replaced the trend for pocket watches. Legend has it that a Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont first solicited Louis Cartier to develop a suitable watch for pilots on airplanes. Pocket watches were extremely inconvenient because Pilots usually had both their hands engaged in operating the airplane controls and also because they had a tendency to drop out of pockets. Cartier created the first wristwatch and called it Santos and it went into production by the year 1911.

One of the primary reasons behind the wild craze for Cartier wristwatches is due to the quality, elegance, and durability of the watches they produce. Beginning in the early 1900s till date the company’s dignity lies in the fact that they have never compromised on quality and has reputation as the forerunner in the field of production and commercialisation of wristwatches. The most exclusive range of Cartier watches include the Cartier Ballon Bleu watches, the Pasha de Cartier line, Santos de Cartier, and the Ligne 21 de Cartier. The watches come studded with a variety of precious stones and are made of platinum, gold or steel & titanium. The watches are also made of precise Swiss movement technology from companies, like Movado and Vacheron Constantin, and are a class in themselves.
