Cartier Watches

Cartier is widely recognized for changing the way the world looks at fine watchmaking. In the early 20th century, Louis Cartier created the first wristwatch for his friend Alberto Santos-Dumont, a pioneering aviator who complained he had trouble checking his pocket watch while flying. In its watch manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Cartier continues this tradition of creativity and watchmaking excellence, reconciling bold case shapes and designs with complex, innovative movements.
