THE CARTIER HISTORY •In 1847 Louis-François Cartier takes over the jewelry workshop of his master, Adolphe Picard, at 29, rue Montorgueil in Paris. A year ago he, the descendant of a powder horn maker, had become master jeweler and had registered his trademark, the famous heart between the initials L and C surrounded by a diamond. •1853 Cartier is accessible for private clients at the 5, Rue Neuve
des Petits Champs. 1856 makes Princess Mathilde,
niece of Napoleon I. and cousin of Emperor Napoleon III., her first purchase at
Cartier. •1859 Cartier relocates to 9, Boulevard des Italiens. Empress Eugenie becomes a customer. •1859 he also adds antique pocket watches to his range.
When in 1872 his son Alfred enters as a partner, the trade
with new watches is systematically expanded. Apart from pocket watches under
their own name also timepieces from well known luxury companies are resold (Vacheron
& Constantin since 1893, after 1900 Audemars Piguet). •1874 Alfred Cartier becomes head of the business. •1898 Alfred's son Louis joins the company, which
then trades under the name Alfred Cartier & Fils. The business is
transferred to the famous Rue de la Paix in 1899, where it still is today. Already before 1900 some
luxury models are produced, followed by the famous classics Santos (1906), Tank (1917)
and Pasha (1932). •1904 the company receives the first awards by King Edward VII and
King Alfonso XIII from Spain. In the same year dies Louis-François
Cartier. Alfred Cartier died
in 1925, Louis Cartier in 1942. The company experiences a time of crisis and after the death of Pierre Cartier (1965) is no longer family owned. It falls apart into three separate businesses. Only in the 1970s begins the re-emergence as Cartier Monde under the direction of Robert Hocq and Joseph Kanoui. •1974 The new concept "Les Must de Cartier" is developed by Robert Hocq and Alain Dominique Perrin, which opens Cartier to a young generation. In 1978 with the newly launched Santos de Cartier for the first time appears a watch, where gold and steel are combined to a design unit. Under the direction of Micheline Kanoui, the wife of Joseph Kanoui, the jewelry range of Cartier gains new strength. •1979 Robert Hocq dies in an accident and Joseph Kanoui is appointed
president of Cartier Monde. •1988 the company acquires 60% of the Swiss watch
manufacturers Baume & Mercier and Piaget respectively.
The group of companies, to which other well-known luxury goods manufacturers
are coming in 1993 becomes the Vendôme Luxury Group . •Today, Cartier belongs to the largest jewelry companies in the world and sells, beneath watches and jewelery, also exclusive perfumes, lighters, leather goods and writing utensils.
