We are proud to announce the official launch of Cartier Watches on Lunns.com. As a trusted brand partner, we promise to provide a personalised experience as you discover the Maison’s exquisite collection of luxury timepieces.
From its inception in 1847, Cartier has stood as an emblem of unparalleled luxury and refinement in the world of fine watches and jewellery. Cartier's distinguished heritage began with French visionary Louis-François Cartier, and grew exponentially with the establishment of the Cartier boutique in the prestigious Rue de la Paix, Paris in 1899. The Maison's destiny was further shaped by Louis-François' three grandsons—Louis, Pierre, and Jacques—who transformed their grandfather's vision into the global icon we know today, with a presence in over 120 of the world's most distinguished addresses.
The Parisian Maison earned its distinctive reputation, not only through exceptional craftsmanship, but by revolutionising the world of horology. At the dawn of the 20th century Cartier introduced the Santos de Cartier — a timepiece that would change how we wear watches forever, leading the Maison to be universally revered as popularising the wristwatch.
Although the Santos de Cartier is universally revered as popularising the wristwatch, each Cartier collection tells its own compelling story; celebrating unique moments in history embodied by iconic style and flawless design.
The Tank, born from the progressive spirit of 1917, carries the legacy of its bold inspiration—the mechanised warfare of the First World War. Its distinctive design, with brancards echoing tank treads and a case reminiscent of a cockpit, captured the imagination of cultural icons like Andy Warhol, who famously wore his Tank not to tell time, but as a statement of refined taste.
The Pasha de Cartier collection, introduced in 1985, continues to captivate with its distinctive square-within-a-circle dial design and versatile styling options in precious metals and leather. An unusual watch whose statement clearly defies convention, apt for a new generation of unique personalities.
Santos de Cartier, conceived in 1904, holds the distinction of being the first purpose-designed wristwatch, embodying the principles of its namesake, aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont: simplicity, practicality, and innovation.
We invite you to experience the world of Cartier online at Lunns.com or in our Queen's Arcade showroom, where our passionate specialists await to guide you through Cartier's iconic collections. Whether you're drawn to the timeless elegance of the Tank, the pioneering spirit of the Santos de Cartier or the effortless harmony of the Ballon Bleu de Cartier, we will be delighted to help you discover the perfect timepiece to mark your own moments in history.
