The Cartier Story
 |
 |
 |
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.

I got this watch from Amazon as a gift from my husband a few months ago. Last month, we found that there was a $300-400 problem with the circuitry. Our watch store told us to have the repair fixed under the warranty. I called Amazon with the gift receipt in hand but I did not have the exact price so they refused to honor the warranty. I don't know how you can have the exact price if you get the watch as a gift. My husband found his original receipt but Amazon refused to honor the warranty when he called with all the required information. He just got the run around on line in India for 20 minutes . It is not worth it. Buy from an authorized dealer.

The Cartier Tank watch is a standard that began the style of these watches. Beautiful elegant styling that is a perfect gift. In my case it was a graduation gift for my wife who worked very hard at getting a degree as a working adult.
This watch comes with a full presentation box of red leather, as one would expect from such a premium brand. Even the manual comes in its own matching red leather bound box. The watch is snug in a white kid leather padded box around a pillow of the same material.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this watch for my girlfriend and she loves it. Took it to the Cartier boutique to have it sized and it is perfect. I don't know why the person from the previous post could not get service, but if you go to the boutique, they will service it.

Buyers Beware!!! Amazon is not a "Authorized CARTIER dealer"
The reason this watch is so cheap, is that it does not come with an "Official CARTIER Warranty Card". Because AMAZON is not an Authorized CARTIER dealer. Read more

Good watch for the money but you can get the W5200013 for $2400
Good watch for the money but you can get the W5200013 for $2400 at the Cartier store. They look pretty much the same so you might as well save the money

Needs more research regarding Roman numerals
What kind of watchmaker designs their watches with IIII for the number 4 instead of IV? And who in their right mind puts the numbers upside down? Read more
