The History of Cartier

Cartier epitomizes the combination of luxury, impeccable artistry, and timeless design. Cartier transforms its eyewear into true masterpieces.

Neither royalty, nor multimillionaires and billionaires, nor outstanding cultural figures have been able to resist Cartier’s magic. 

To quote the British monarch Edward VII, Cartier is the “Jewelers of Kings and King of Jewelers”.

Founded in 1847, Cartier launched its premiere eyewear collection in 1983, called Les Must and Vendome de Cartier. As a jeweler of eyewear, Cartier applies the same procedures to its eyewearas with as its jewelry pieces. Its craftsman-like approach places materials at the heart of the creative process.

Marlene Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, Coco Chanel, Peggy Guggenheim, Micheal Douglass, Floyd Mayweather JR, Rick Ross, Christopher Walken, and Muammar Gaddafi are just few celeibrities, luminaries, mulitimillionaires, and heads of state who wore and admired Cartier and Cartier eyewear.

Cartier jewelry and eyewear carry that distinctive allure and are still the subjects of dreams and aspirations. They represent luxrury and the upper class of society.

Cartier sunglasses are not considered a mere utilitarian thing by any means, because each

pair of Cartier sunglasses is made with the same approach that is applied to making Cartier’s fine jewelry.
