The exclusive French jewellery and watch company Cartier was founded in 1847 in Paris and attained worldwide fame in 1904 with the famous “Santos de Cartier”. The typical Cartier Panthère Decor with onyx and diamonds was first created in 1914 for a women's watch, in 1935 for a ring for the Duchess of Windsor and was later transformed to the famous jewellery series "Panthere de Cartier”. Another milestone was the introduction of the Tank watch, which was inspired by British First World War tanks. In addition to jewelry and watches, Cartier offers a wide range of various leather goods, perfumes, pens, lighters, sunglasses and all sorts of accessories. Cartier products are must-haves in the international luxury goods market. Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
