Cartier has been a popular name in the watch industry for more than a century, consistently figuring in the elite list of the world’s leading timepiece manufacturers. Its prominence started by Louis-Francois Cartier, a known jeweller in Paris, in 1847. He founded the company that bore his name and began a career of creating elegant watches. What made his works attractive was that he infused light and dynamic designs, giving color to the otherwise mundane and gloomy mood of that time. At first, he catered only to low-income customers; but when his skills and finely crafted pieces were noticed in the higher status of the society, rich and famous personalities soon became his patrons. These included Napoleon III and other aristocratic families and individuals. As customers grew, the quality of Cartier watches was also elevated a notch higher as more models and designs were added to the company’s collection. Santos, considered as the first true Cartier line of watches, became a hit when it was released in 1904. Later, the company decided to expand because more and more international clients were flooding to make orders, so the three grandsons of Louis managed Cartier boutiques in New York and London. From here on, Cartier continued to design high-quality watches not only for famous people but also to anyone who could afford it.
Among its collection that includes timeless pieces of watches, the Tank remains the most popular model and the top seller. The Tank is inspired by the exploits of the American tanks during the World War I. Like the war tank where it got its name, the Tank is elegantly sturdy and sleek. It has been on the production for more than 90 years now.
As it has been grand and expensive, Cartier watches become a subject of imitation, thus replica Cartier watches invade the market nowadays. Most people cannot afford real watches, so they buy the fake ones. Many stores now are offering elegant replica watches. Imitators put their best effort in creating timepieces that look and perform exactly like the original. They give great care in copying even the smallest details, preserving the grandeur and the prestige of the brand. They even see to it that the replica Cartier watches carry the feel and comfort of the original. The logo and other embellishments are copied perfectly. The result is a creation that looks authentic in almost every angle. It is a chance to own a great watch for half the price.
