Cartier for Women: ladies watches from the premier French design and fashion house.
In 1904, Louis Cartier designed the first wristwatch, the Santos de Cartier. Cartier borrowed inspiration from Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé for the “guilloching” that is an outstanding feature on Cartier watches. Cartier has been creating the most famous luxury wristwatches for more than one hundred and fifty years.

Created in 1967 by Swiss watchmakers, quartz technology offers extreme precision while its compact dimensions offer great scope for design. Quartz watches are powered by a miniature battery and an integrated circuit which provide the energy while hand-wound watches work on the principle of a spring system which needs to be rewound. Automatic watches also work on the principle of a spring system that is automatically rewound by the movements of the wrist.
