Stunning silver tones give a truly monochromatic look to the Cartier Men's Must 21 Stainless Steel Watch. This luxury watch offers a polished stainless steel band that joins to a stainless steel case topped by a polished stainless steel bezel that frames a scratch-resistant, sapphire-crystal window. A shimmering stainless steel dial displays engraved Roman numeral hour indicators. Sword-shaped steel hands, a black Cartier logo, and an inner ring of black dot and Arabic numeral minute markers offer a touch of contrast to this silver-themed timepiece. This fine watch is water resistant to 330 feet.

The Cartier Story

The name Cartier is synonymous with luxury, quality, and style. Founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-Francois Cartier, the company became renowned worldwide for its design and production of beautiful jewelry and opulent objets d'art. A royal commission in 1904 made Cartier a supplier to Europe's Crowned Heads of State and led England's King Edward VII to describe Louis Cartier, grandson of the founder, as the jeweler of Kings, the King among jewellers.

By the early 20th century, Cartier had expanded its collection to include watches. At a time when pocket watches were still considered de rigueur for the distinguished gentleman, Cartier helped popularize the wristwatch, making it a bold fashion statement for men and women as well as a status symbol among the well-to-do. Louis Cartier is credited with creating the first men's wristwatch, the Santos, in 1904. He developed and named the watch for his client and friend, the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who needed a device that would allow him to read the time without taking his hands off the controls of his airplane.

Other classic designs followed, including Cartier's signature timepiece--the Tank--which debuted in 1917 during the First World War and was inspired by the tough new war machine the Americans introduced to the fighting in Europe. Cartier's first water-resistant watch was named after the Pasha of Marrakesh, who requested that Cartier create watch that he could wear while in his swimming pool and not lose track of time.

And while it is known more for its luxurious design, Cartier is also credited with creating the highly functional deployment folding clasp in 1910, which is now used by watchmakers around the globe.

Modern Cartier watchmakers still base their watch designs on the early fundamentals developed by Louis Cartier. Treasured by collectors, Cartier watches are distinguished by their impressive variety of shapes (round, square, oval, Tank, Tortue and Tonneau), by their exceptional materials and workmanship, and by their recognizable Cartier aesthetic, an elegant blend of classic and modern design.

This is a stunning watch. It is very thin and has a small face. It might look too small if you have very large wrists. But if you have average or smaller wrists, this is absolutely beautiful. It keeps very accurate time. People give compliments on this watch all the time (without knowing that it is a Cartier), and then when they take a closer look and notice that it is a Cartier, they say "Of course, it's beautiful, it's a Cartier."

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Cartier Midsize W10110T2 Must 21 Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)

Let me be clear, I have not purchased this unit as yet, but after reading the reviews specifically the very negative review which states that the real hands are "black"; in fact emphatically states that they are BLACK... I contacted a Cartier store located here in Atlanta in Lenox mall. I was told that the specific model in this review comes ONLY with BLUE hands. NOT BLACK... The photos on the Cartier web site (I was told by Cartier) appear to be black due to lighting, but if you go to the Cartier store you too will see that the hands are in fact blue.

As I like to say, "It's may be ok to be LOUD sometimes, it's ok to be WRONG sometimes... BUT IT IS NEVER OK TO BE LOUD AND WRONG at the same time.

I love my watch. At first, a review scared me it might not be authentic. But I took it to Cartier to have the band adjusted, and it's definitely real. MY BEEF IS with Amazon. One day after I received the watch they lowered the price to $1825 from the $1945 I paid for it, and their policy is: tough luck. BAD AMAZON, great watch.
