The name Cartier is synonymous with beautiful objects of quality and style. Although Cartier are perhaps better known for their fine jewellery, their signed wristwatches have made a huge impression on the global watch market and have become increasingly collectable over the years. Many of their bulous watches can be regarded as pieces of jewellery in their own right and Cartier have become renowned throughout the world.

Louis Cartier (1875-1942) has in ct been credited for creating the first mans wristwatch in 1904, when he designed a watch for his friend and client Brazilian Alberto Santos-Dumont. Santos-Dumont was one of the early pioneers of aviation, and he needed a more suitable timepiece for his dare devil flights. He asked Cartier to design something for him and the Santos was born, although it did not go on sale until 1911. By that date Louis Cartier had begun the exclusive production of the first wristwatches at his establishment in Paris on the Rue de la Paix, helped by Edmond Jaeger.

Cartiers history really begins when Louis Francois Cartier (1819-1904) followed the steps of his grandther, also called Louis Francois Cartier (1755-1793), by becoming a goldsmith. He started his career as an apprentice to Adolphe Picard, producing handmade jewellery in a small workshop at 29 Rue Montorgeuil, and quickly developed into one of the finest jewellers in Paris. When his master Picard died in 1847 Cartier succeeded him and the company that bore his name was born.

By 1853 Louis Francois was able to expand his business of designing and selling jewellery to the more shionable Palais-Royal district, in premised at 5 Rue Neuve des petits Champs. He became a vourite of Princess Mathilde, the cousin of Napoleon III, whose patronage opened the door to Parisian society. This made a move to larger premises at 9 Rue des Italiens a necessity.

In 1874 Alfred Cartier (1841-1925) took over the company from his ther Louis Francois. Alfreds three sons - Louis, Pierre and Jaques - would eventually turn the mily business into a global empire.

In 1898 Cartier made a final move in Paris and they still remain at 13 Rue de La Paix today. Alfred Cartier was accompanied by his son ans associate Louis Cartier, who proved not only an outstanding goldsmith but business man aswell. Louis Cartiers genius was to make Cartiers name mous worldwide.

Consequentley Cartier expanded their empire, opening a London branch in 1902 and in a New York branch in 1909. Fifty years on Louis Francois Cartier set up his first shop and possessed one of the most influential clienteles in the world, including virtually every crowned head in Europe, most of the maharajas of India, and Kings of Siam and Nepal.

Business, jeweller and collector, Louis Cartier was handsome, distinguished and elegant, popular among the Parisian women and well thought of by the aristocracy. He was later to marry Countess Almasey of Hungary. One of his most important clients was the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, who once described Louis Cartier as the jeweller of Kings, the King among jewellers.

The first London Cartier shop opened at 4 Burlington St in 1902 and was soon appointed official purveyor to the court of King Edward. Five years later under the management of the youngest of Alfred Cartiers sons, jaques Cartier (1884-1942), they moved to 175 New Bond St. Jaques Cartier was well suited to the quiet conservative life of London and helped to create new designs and assisted in the purchase of important gemstones, accompanied by his wife Nelly Harjes.

Following the success of their London branch they expanded into the huge American Market by opening a shop in New York run by Pierre Cartier (1878-1965). Just as the London branch was patronised by the aristocracy, so Pierre Cartier had his particular crowd of adoring patrons. Pierre, whose life long ambition had been to become an ambassador, was well suited to the st pace of life in New York. He eventually married Elma Rumsey a rich girl form Missouri. Cartier Paris initially sent all merchandise for they shop across the Atlantic, but a workshop was soon set up in New York and Pierre with the help of Jules Glaenzer, quickly established the brands image across America.

In 1910 a further two Cartier branches were opened, in Moscow and the Persian Gulf. Soon business was so good in New York that they moved to splendid new premises at 653 Fifth Avenue. The opening of the New York shop had given Cartier worldwide recognition.

Throughout the First World War Cartier continued to do business because of their inventive and original designs. In the inter war years two more branches in shionable beach resorts were opened, Cartier Cannes in 1935 and Cartier Monte Carlo in 1938. Further branches were opened in Geneva, Hong Kong and Munich. Claude Cartier and Pierres Cartiers son in law Pierre Claudel assisted in the running of the empire.

Louis and Jaques Cartier both died in 1942. Their brother Pierre became the president of Cartier International in 1945 and from then on stayed almost entirely in the shop in Paris until he retired to Geneva in 1947. In the late 1940s Cartier London was run by Jean-Jaques Cartier, while the New York branch was headed by Claude Cartier. In 1962 Claude Cartier sold Cartier New York but remained president of the company until 1963.

By 1968 Cartier had evolved from a mily business into an enormous multinational organisation. In 1972 Joseph Kanoui headed a financial syndicate which bought control of Cartier Paris. Robert Hocq became president of the company. He once again united the three branches of Cartier and took over the London and New York Management in a move to re-establish Cartiers image of prestige and importance.

Cartiers great empire has evolved form humble beginnings on the Rue Montorgeuil in fourteen distributing companies in the richest countries in the world. The company is continuing to keep the magic of Cartier alive.

From the outset Cartier designed watches that were elegant, small, accurate, and a statement of the times in which they were made. Cartier were unique among wristwatch designers and manucturers because they owned their own retail outlets and were therefore able to stay abreast of changing shion trends. Their genius for design often meant they set the shion themselves, instead of following it.

During the early twentieth century any man wearing a wristwatch made a very daring statement, as the classic pocket watch was considered the only timepiece a gentleman should carry. Cartier were a major influence in persuading the Parisian aristocracy to accept the idea of wristwatches for men. The Santos was promoted to show that the adventurous gentleman was wearing a wristwatch in all elements of his life.

The Tank wristwatch introduced in 1917 during the First World War, was Cartiers most mous model. Louis Cartier was inspired by the tough new war machine the Americans introduced to the fighting in Europe, the tank to design a rugged yet beautiful watch that became a classic.

Cartier made an exclusive contract with Edmond Jaeger, who moved into Cartiers premises so he could manucture mechanisms for Cartiers personalized watches. They guaranteed an annual order of at least 250,000 Fr worth of business and in this time Jaeger concentrated on small flat watches.

The early mens wristwatches were all handmade in France, with movements by Jaeger, Cartier Paris and the European Watch and Clock Co, who manuctured complicated movements such as chronographs, minute repeaters, and digital wristwatches.

Ladies wristwatches became popular more quickly as the pocket or fob watch were not as comfortable to wear for women. During the Late 1920s and early 1930s ladies wristwatches began to get smaller and smaller. The smallest was a 2-line movement manuctured by the European Watch and Clock Company and Jaeger.

The ability to create many unique wristwatches was of great advantage to Cartier because customers were able to select from various designs, or order custom made pieces. Because the shops only sold their own brand they had no competition from other competitors in store.

Cartier wristwatches were produced with movements by Jaeger, Vacheron, Le Coutre, Cartier itself and The European Watch and Clock Co. These watch cases were manuctured in Paris, Geneva, London and New York, and each branch was responsible for the production of their own wristwatches. However, the French branch exported its watches to other shops.

Cartiers wristwatches were st becoming the status symbol of the rich, and people became eager to purchase all the unique models that were being manuctured.

In 1931 Cartier designed its first waterproof wristwatch with a three piece case made in Paris. Other designs to come from Cartier Paris were a covered wristwatch, a shutter wristwatch, a reversible wristwatch a chronograph and a minute repeater.

The 1940s saw a period when the Moonphase was a very sort after watch. Its movements were generally by Jaeger or the European Watch and Clock Company. Stainless steel was used during the war when gold became less available.

The Cartier London workshop for wristwatches was set up in 1939 and was located at Ormand House, Roseberry Avenue, London EC1. The cases were made by Wright and Davis.

After the Second World War in 1946 Cartier were looking for new designs, keeping up with the tradition of changing times. Cartier London started manucturing mens wristwatches in a more serious way and the workshops were able to expand quickly because of the popularity of these custom made pieces. Diamond and sapphire watches were very popular during this period, as were Cartier watches with different coloured enamel round the bezel.

The 1960s saw Jean-Jaques Cartier design with R Emerson a wristwatch that was a large uneven shape that looked as if it had been in a car crash. This Crash watch was the wristwatch that many people later called the Dali watch, after artist Salvador Dali. It really had nothing to do with him however, and the correct name for it is the Crash watch. Cartier only manuctured fifteen of these in the 1960s but later released a further series in the 1980s.

The London Cartier workshop produced handmade wristwatches for 43 years, meeting the individual demands for all sorts of customers, and then in 1979 the workshop closed. As the 1970s ended the company as a whole started to use quartz movements for their wristwatches, as they were producing them in such large quantities. Cartier were still able to go back to their original designs and simply adapt the movements to quartz.

In the 1980s Cartier added about a 100 different models to their line and always remained one step ahead of the competition. They manuctured watches in steel, gold and combinations of the two for the shion conscious people in todays market. This ability to see what the market demands is vital to being able to meet their customers expectations for watches of the greatest style, performance and quality.

Cartier has remained so special because they have always made wristwatches in a variety of shapes, round, square, tortue, tonneau, rectangular, and oval, rather than limiting themselves to one or two shapes. Their designs have always managed to be classic and modern at the same time. A Cartier watch can always be relied upon to make a shion statement. Their emphasis an quality and design was a heritage from their beginnings as a jewellers. Their jewellery for women has always been among the most beautiful in the world, and remains a collectors pleasure. Cartier have consistently used the best quality for their watch cases, dials and movements, and this has reaped rich rewards as their customers return time after time to acquire more of the unique Cartier Magic.new cartier wcartier wristwatchatches

!--IPTC: DENVER,CO--DEATHS--Inmate, Shannon Derzon, 33-years-old, sheds tears talking about the recent death of her daughter, Daisia

When I saw hertiny body on ahospital bed withwires coming outof her head andlarge whitebandages, Icouldnt breathe.Ashley Lindenberger, onseeing 2K-year-olddaughter Alize Vick(The Lindenberger mily)punishment is separation from their children. But when children are in foster care, they are supposed to be safe.That isnt always the case.What keeps you sane in here is the thought that your kids are protected, said Shannon Derzon, whose three youngest children — ages 3, 4 and 6 — were taken from her in 2006 when she was convicted of dealing methamphetamine and was sentenced to six years in prison.But in a nightmare similar to Lindenbergers, Derzon recently learned from a prison chaplain that her 3-year-old daughter, Daisia, died of a severe head injury while in her Granby foster home. She would never get to see her bossy little angel again.I wouldnt wish this pain on anybody, Derzon said. A part of my soul is gone. Grieving is something Ill have to do for the rest of my life.Derzon and Lindenberger were assured the homes their children were placed in were run by loving, experienced foster parents and that their children were safe.But within months after she went to the Buena Vista camp, Lindenberger heard frightening indications her daughter was in jeopardy.Lindenbergers mother, Kathleen Heil, who had visitation rights with the two kids, told her of bruises on Alize.

died January 11th 2008 died from head injuries while in the care of a foster parent in Granby Colorado. Shannon is serving time for drug distribution charges. THE DENVER POST/ ANDY CROSS-->(Andy Cross, The Denver Post )The child was terrified of her foster mother and begged not to go back to her.Lindalyn derzon loss of her daughterdenbergers pleas for help were answered by boot-camp officers who said her kids were in safe hands and that she needed to focus on overcoming her addiction. But on Oct. 10, she was called over the camps intercom to talk with officials.They told me ... my daughter was in ICU and they didnt think she was going to make it, she recalled.Alize died from severe head injuries after her foster mom, Jules Cuneo, allegedly shoved her head-first into a coffee table when she wouldnt talk. Cuneo has been charged with first-degree murder.Corrections officers rushed Lindenberger to the Colorado Springs hospital so she could see her daughter before she died. She could only hold her daughters hand, not hug her, she said.When I saw her tiny body on a hospital bed with wires coming out of her head and large white bandages, I couldnt breathe, she recalled.Under investigationNow, the Colorado Department of Human Services is combing through child-protection files to determine whether the private agency that hired and supervised Cuneo, Kids Crossing,

tumor

or the county agency that licensed her, El Paso County Human Services, overlooked red flags. Alize is one of 13 children who died last year in homes that had been brought to the attention of social services in the past five years.Kids Crossing executive director Lee Oesterle did not return a phone message, and the agencys attorney could not be reached for comment.Right now, the case is confidential and we cant talk about it, said Linda Crawfis, spokeswoman for El Paso County Human Services.In the case of Daisia, no charges have been filed.Grand County Undersheriff Walt Eldridge said investigators are awaiting autopsy results before deciding whether criminal charges are warranted.Derzon and Lindenberger, both serving sentences at the Denver womens prison, blame themselves for putting their children in harms way, but they also feel betrayed by a system that allowed their kids to die in foster care.Abuse allegations had been leveled at Cuneo in Colorado Springs dating to 2003, Lindenberger said. Cuneo would tell Lindenbergers mother that a missing tooth, bruises and scrapes were caused by Alize lling on toys. Heil said she took photographs of her bruises to social workers. Nothing happened.A neighbor once took a recording captured on a baby monitor of Alize screaming for someone to get dalyn derzon loss of her daughter Parents imprisoned by griefoff of her because she couldnt breathe.That was turned in to DHS, and they still didnt do anything, Lindenberger said. She fooled the system.Derzon said she wonders whether the social worker stationed in Montezuma visited Granby, which is 78 miles away, frequently enough to properly supervise the home.After her daughter died, she was told she needed $700 to pay for two guards to escort her to her daughters funeral in Granby. But she makes $10.60 a month in a prison job and couldnt afford to go.I just want justice for her, she said, weeping.Lindenberger and Derzon said they worry about their children who are still in foster care.They assured my mom theyll put them in a better home, Derzon said of her two boys. Im scared for them.Kirk Mitchell: 303-954-1206 orkmitchell@denverpost.com

Shannon Derzon, a 33-year-old inmate at the Denver Womens Correctional Facility, cries as she talks about the death of her daughter Daisia. Daisia was in foster care when she suffered a tal head injury. I wouldnt wish this pain on anybody, Derzon said.

Ashley Lindenberger weeps at the Denver Womens Correctional Facility as she looks at photosof her daughter, a 2-1/2-year-old who died from severe head injuries suffered in a fosterhome. Lindenberger blames herself but feels let down by the system. (Andy Cross, The Denver Post)

dalyn derzon loss of her daughter Parents imprisoned by grief,Ashley Lindenbergers fear for her two kids was rooted in her own childhood experience of being raised by foster parents in 18 homes.Some of them were abusive, and some of them just didnt care, Lindenberger said recently in the visitors room of the Denver Womens Correctional Facility.So when she was sent to the Buena Vista Boot Camp for a methamphetamine conviction last spring and her 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Alize Vick, and innt son, Anthoni Vick, went to a Colorado Springs foster home, she was tormented by guilt and constant anxiety.Within months, her worst fears were realized: Alize died from a severe head injury, and her childs foster mother was charged with murder.For many women in prison, the biggest
