So, if some people think that, 160 years in business Cartier jewelry, watches and other luxury goods, it would be wrong, because in addition to these things, but more importantly, Cartier has also been running his own story.

Mining Story

Since its inception in 1847, Cartier has been working with the imperial family of aristocrats and celebrity’s countries have maintained close-knit and close contacts. For ordinary people, the royal family and the lives of the celebrities on the mystery and fascination. As a result, Cartier became every customer free of charge to its spokesman, this is the Cartier brand is an important source of the story.

No matter what channel you know from Cartier, one would hear such a story: in December 1936, following a bit less than a year to Britain's King Edward VIII and the twice-divorced Mrs. Simpson, the U.S. civilian woman were married, resolutely declared that abdication.
