Cartier Luxury Goods

Cartier is an internationally renowned French luxury house celebrated for its high jewellery, fine timepieces, leather goods, and fragrances. Founded in Paris in 1847 by master jeweler Louis-François Cartier, the maison quickly gained royal favor and global renown, being famously dubbed 'the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers' by King Edward VII of the United Kingdom.

While conceived and rooted in French haute horlogerie and jewellery traditions, the production of Cartier goods is distributed across specialized European ateliers. Cartier's luxury wristwatches are manufactured in Switzerland, primarily centered at the state-of-the-art Manufacture Cartier in La Chaux-de-Fonds, as well as sites in Couvet and Meyrin. High jewellery pieces and select fragrance and eyewear collections are crafted predominantly in France, Italy, and other select European artisan workshops.

Today, Cartier is the flagship jewel in the portfolio of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA, a Swiss-based multinational luxury goods holding company founded by Johann Rupert in 1988. In the United Kingdom, Cartier distributes and manages its boutiques and high-end department store concessions through its regional subsidiary, Cartier Ltd.
