Cartier

The renowned company Cartier can today look back on a tradition of over 150 years. It was founded by the jeweler Louis-Francois Cartier in Paris, who initially traded in antique pocket watches but quickly became a "first address" for France's Napoleon III. The luxury watches and high jewelry craftsmanship of the house captivated even crowned heads. Grandson Louis Cartier recognized the signs of the times early and already before the First World War turned his attention to wristwatches. Thus, alongside other first-class design icons, the Santos, Panthere, and Tank were created. Other models include: Ballon Bleu, Pasha, and Dumont.

The distinctive design of Cartier watches is a must for every watch lover. Special eye-catchers are the octagonal models of the Cartier Santos, but also slim and feminine Women’s watches of the Cartier Lady Must De Vermeil in the classic round or the Cartier Lady Must DeTank in rectangular form are simply enchanting. Our range offers you a large selection of Cartier watches. Take your time to look around until you have found your dream watch at a favorable price with us.

The Men’s watches Cartier Pasha have a unique screw-down metal cap that protects the crown from water. The Cartier Pasha is therefore excellent for swimming and brings great joy to its owner with its many variants with a gold case or steel case. 

Cartier - interesting models

Cartier is a fascinating brand that always exudes a touch of elegance and luxury. The company takes unusual paths especially in the area of luxury watches regarding design and styling. Exemplary of this is the Cartier Crash, which somewhat resembles a painting by Salvador Dalí. Models like the Cartier Roadstar or the Cartier Clé are highly appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts due to their special characteristics.

Cartier Crash as a collector's item

One of the most extraordinary watches from Cartier's watch manufacture is the Cartier Crash. The unique luxury watch with the distorted Dial strongly resembles the famous painting by Salvador Dalí "The Persistence of Memory," also known as "The Melting Clocks." The deformed watches have achieved worldwide fame but unfortunately have little to do with the Cartier Crash.

Although it is surrounded by a legend that an oval Cartier Baignoire broken in a car accident served as inspiration, this is unfortunately more legend than fact; rather, the designers wanted to realize the Swinging Sixties in a watch. The watches of the model series were produced only in small numbers, as were the “London Crash” and the “Paris Crash”, which are therefore highly sought after by collectors. Available on the market in rose gold, yellow gold, white gold, or platinum, the watches reach unusual prices between 140,000 and 260,000 euros.

Cartier Roadstar with tonneau case

Another extraordinary watch from the house of Cartier is the Roadstar, which was first introduced in 2001 and lasted only ten years before production was discontinued. In terms of shape, the watch with its tonneau case is meant to recall the classic Roadstars of the 60s. It is offered with a case made of stainless steel, yellow, rose, or white gold and in bicolor, with sizes ranging from 20 mm to 49 mm. Thus, the watch is suitable for both Women’s watches and Men’s watches. Interested watch lovers must budget from 2,500 to around 5,000 euros for the Cartier Roadstar.

Cartier Clé de Cartier with a round case

The Clé de Cartier visually forms the counterpart to the Cartier Tank with its characteristic shape, which is supposed to resemble a tank. In 2015, Cartier presented the new Clé de Cartier line at the Salon International de la Haute Horologie. Framed by an oval case, the dial is designed in a round shape. In contrast, there is a rectangular crown set with a synthetic sapphire. The typical Roman numerals of Cartier, mostly on a white dial, create an overall harmonious picture that is pleasing. The price for the Clé de Cartier ranges from 3,500 to 5,500 euros, for both new and used models.
