Cartier is a French luxury goods conglomerate that designs, manufactures, distributes and sells jewelry, leather goods and watches. Founded by Louis-Fran?ois Cartier (1819?1904) in Paris in 1847, the company remained under family control until 1964. Cartier is headquartered in Paris and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Swiss Richemont Group. Cartier operates more than 200 stores in 125 countries, with three Temples (Historical Maisons) in London, New York and Paris. Cartier is regarded as one of the most prestigious jewelry and watch manufacturers. Cartier has a long history of sales to royalty. King Edward VII referred to Cartier as “the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers.” For his coronation in 1902, Edward VII ordered 27 tiaras and issued a royal warrant to Cartier in 1904. Similar warrants soon followed from the courts of Spain, Portugal, Serbia, Russia and the House of Orl?ans.
The 1912 design of the watch that would later be christened the ?Baignoire? demonstrated Cartier’s prowess in crafting watchmaking forms. A discreetly elegant ellipse uniquely forged in a single line, the ?Baignoire? watch is the essence of Cartier style: a unique marriage of purity and timeless chic.
