Tracing its origins back to the vibrant heart of Paris in 1847, Cartier was founded by the visionary Louis-Francois Cartier, who, at the age of 28, embarked on a journey of extraordinary craftsmanship and luxury after acquiring the workshop of his mentor, the esteemed watchmaker Adolphe Picard. Under Louis-Francois's astute leadership, the brand flourished, moving to the prestigious Palais-Royal district, and earning the patronage of Parisian nobility, including Princess Mathilde, cousin to Napoleon III. This noble association propelled Cartier into the upper echelons of Parisian society. In 1874, the reins were passed to Alfred Cartier, who further solidified the brand's legacy of luxury. The Cartier family's commitment to innovation and elegance was epitomized by Louis Cartier's pioneering use of platinum and diamonds, setting new standards in jewelry design and establishing platinum as an essential element of fine jewelry craftsmanship.
