6 LIVE AUCTION OF FINE JEWELLERY, WATCHES, SILVER & COINS • WEDNESDAY, 10th DEC 2025 AT 12PM Within the world of horology, Car tier’s name is perhaps one of the most renowned due to its innovative and stylish designs, which redefined the fashion of timekeeping in the 20th century. The Maison Car tier was established in Paris by Louis-François Car tier in 1847, operating on a relatively small scale until a piece was bought by Princess Mathilde, which established the brand within high-ranking societal circles. Owing to this success, the Maison began to expand beyond Paris to the cities of NewYork and London. In the early 1900s, the Maison was taken over by Louis-François’ grandson, Louis Car tier, who began to establish the recognisable brand we know today. Car tier is perhaps most well-known for its distinctive watches and clocks, which at the time of their creation were (and still today!) seen as innovative and unusual. In 1904, the first Cartier wristwatch was created for an aviator friend of the company, offering ease of accessibility and comfor t while flying, at a time when pocket watches were the main fashion for men.A later collaboration with horologist Maurice Couët further developed this design, reinventing the typical timepiece into more than just a functional tool – it was now fashionable too!
