Since 1847, Cartier has explored its heritage with creativity. Discovery, drawing on world cultures, enhancing beauty: all are ways for Cartier to share its vision, as demonstrated by the numerous exhibitions of the Cartier Collection the world over. Alongside a long legacy of iconic jewelry creations, Louis Cartier is responsible for creating the world’s first wristwatch in 1904. The Cartier Santos was crafted for the French pioneering pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont, and the timepiece eventually set the tone for the brand’s entire horological offering.
