Cartier was established in Paris in 1847 by Louis-Francois Cartier. Cartier is famous for creating jewelry masterpieces for kings and world leaders. It wasn't until 1911 when Louis Cartier, grandson of founder Louis-Francois Cartier, introduced the Santos to launch Cartier timepiece collection, which is the beginning of Cartier's rich history of fashion watchmaking. Cartier history was marked early on by the significant introductions of watches still considered classics presently¡ªthe Santos, the Tank, the Bagnoir, and the Pasha. The Tank was designed in tribute to American tank commanders who helped France in World War I. In addition to these classics, and continuing their tradition in jewelry making, Cartier watch line is rich with jeweled watches such as the Cartier Tank Divan, and Tank Basculante, Tortue, and ladies Tank Americaine.
