Cartier watches have exquisite design and unmatched elegance

Copyright 2006 Jason Bibb

The exquisite design and unmatched elegance of Cartier watches
makes them a good choice for anyone looking for a fashionable
and precise watch. The story of Cartier watches begins in 1847,
when Louis-Franois Cartier took over the jewelry workshop of
Adolphe Picard. Gradually, the business developed and more
members of the Cartier family became involved in the company.
The excellent blend of usability and style has remained
unchanged throughout the years, and the accuracy of the Cartier
watches is among the highest in the world. Superior
craftsmanship and a unique sense of style have dominated the
evolution of this company, but tradition was also flawlessly
combined with technological advancements. Cartier revolutionized
the watch industry by being the first to attempt the creation of
the wristwatch. Their bold move was a huge success and the
pocket watch saw a quick decline in favor of Cartier’s
wristwatch. Characteristics of the Carier Company and their
watches

The first wristwatch created by Cartier was available for sale
starting from 1911, even though Cartier’s designer had created
it years before. The luxury and uniqueness of the Cartier
company was also highlighted by the acquisition of the Hope
diamond, which was later sold. However, Cartier did not stop
with their wristwatch success, and in 1912 they created the
first mystery clock. The series of innovations continues with
the first series of water resistant watches - the Tanks as they
were called - which appeared on the market during the First
World War (1933). The Tank had a circular-grained crown set with
a sapphire cabochon and the quartz movement and rectangular
rail-track make the Tank, even today, one of the most precise
and durable watches. Today, the Tank is a more elegant item,
mainly because of the 18K yellow gold and 18K white gold casings
and the alligator skin straps and pin buckles.
