品牌历史


·Cartier S.A., commonly known as Cartier (English: /ˈkɑrti.eɪ/, French: [kaʁtje]), is a French luxury jeweler and watch manufacturer. The corporation carries the name of the Cartier family of jewellers whose control ended in 1964.

·The company has a long and distinguished history of serving royalty, as well as stars and celebrities. One Prince of Wales hailed Cartier as "Joaillier des Rois, Roi des Joailliers" (Jeweller to Kings, King of Jewellers"). Cartier received an order for 27 tiaras for the coronation of the future British King.

·卡地亚在1904年被英皇爱德华七世委任为英国皇家珠宝供应商，其后亦获得世界多国皇室，包括西班牙、葡萄牙、俄罗斯、暹罗、希腊、塞尔维亚、比利时、罗马尼亚、埃及、阿尔巴尼亚，奥尔良公爵（House of Orleans）及摩纳哥公国委任为珠宝供应商。

·Cartier was founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier when he took over the workshop of his master. In 1874, his son Alfred Cartier took over the administration of the company, but it was Alfred's sons Louis, Pierre and Jacques, who were responsible for establishing the worldwide brand name of Cartier.

卡地亚于1847年由Louis-François Cartier在巴黎Rue Montorgueil 31号创办。1874年，其子亚法·卡地亚继承其管理权，其后由亚法·卡地亚的儿子路易·卡地亚、皮尔·卡地亚与积斯·卡地亚将其发展成世界著名品牌。

·In 1904, the Brazilian pioneer aviator, Alberto Santos-Dumont complained of the unreliability and impracticality of using pocket watches while flying to his friend Louis Cartier. Cartier designed a flat wristwatch with a distinctive square bezel. This watch was not only a hit with Santos-Dumont, but also with Cartier's many clients. Thus, out of this timeless design, the "Santos" was born. This was the first men's wristwatch (Patek Phillipe made the first wristwatch, but for a woman and as a one-off).

1904年曾为飞机师阿尔拔图·山度士·度门设计世界上首只带戴在手腕的腕表：卡地亚山度士腕表 （Cartier Santos）。

·Louis retained responsibility for the Paris branch, moving to the Rue de la Paix, in 1899. He was responsible for some of the company's most celebrated designs.

1899年，卡地亚迁至巴黎和平街（Rue de la Paix）13号，由路易·卡地亚管理，他亦在此段期间创作出一些经典设计。

·In 1907, Cartier signed a contract with Edmond Jaeger, who agreed to exclusively supply the movements for Cartier watches. By this time, Cartier had branches in London, New York and St. Petersburg and was quickly becoming one of the most successful watch companies in the world. The introduction of the Baignoire and Tortue models (both of which are still in production today) took place in 1912, followed by the Tank model's debut in 1917. The Cartier tank model, designed by Louis Cartier, was inspired from the newly introduced war machines on the Western Front. This line too has survived, with over thirty varieties now being made since.

Cartier watches can be found with movements from Vacheron Constantin, Audemars-Piguet, Movado and LeCoultre. It was also during this period that Cartier began adding its own reference numbers to the watches it sold, usually by stamping a four-digit code on the underside of a lug. Jacques took charge of the London operation and eventually moved to the current address at New Bond Street.

·Pierre Cartier established the New York City branch in 1909, moving in 1917 to the current location of 653 Fifth Avenue.

·Among the Cartier team was Charles Jacqueau, who joined Louis Cartier in 1909 for his entire life, and Jeanne Toussaint, who was Director of Fine Jewelry from 1933 on. After the death of Pierre in 1964, Jean-Jacques Cartier (Jacques's son), Claude Cartier (Louis's son), and Marionne Claudelle (Pierre's daughter) — who respectively headed the Cartier affiliates in London, New York and Paris — sold the businesses.

1964年，卡地亚3名兄弟的子女决定出售卡地亚的业务。1972年，以Joseph Kanoui为首的投资者收购巴黎卡地亚，并在1974年及1976年分别收购伦敦及纽约的业务。1979年重新合并成为Cartier Monde，管理世界各地的业务。

·Today: Cartier operates more than 200 stores in 125 countries, with four emblematic boutiques world-wide:

Paris - 13, Rue de la Paix
London - 175-177 New Bond Street
New York - 653 Fifth Avenue
