The Watchmaker

Cartier, founded in 1847 in Paris, is one of the most prestigious names in luxury watchmaking and jewellery. Renowned for combining technical excellence with refined design, Cartier has created some of the most recognisable watch collections in the world.

The Ballon Bleu, introduced in 2007, quickly became one of Cartier’s most celebrated modern designs. Its unique rounded case and integrated crown design set it apart, while diamond-set variations add an additional level of sophistication.
