About Vintage Cartier Watches: The Legacy of Parisian Elegance

Founded in 1847 in Paris, Cartier is one of the most iconic names in luxury, known for its seamless fusion of fine jewelry and horology. Cartier introduced its first wristwatch in the early 20th century and quickly established itself as a pioneer in elegant watch design. With timeless aesthetics, precious materials, and innovative forms, a Cartier watch embodies sophistication, making vintage Cartier watches true collector's pieces that transcend generations.

Key Vintage Cartier Collections at a Glance

Cartier Santos Watch

The Cartier Santos watch was introduced in 1904 for the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, making it one of the world’s first wristwatches. With its square case, exposed screws, and strong Art Deco styling, the vintage Cartier Santos stands as a hallmark of sport-luxury elegance. Available in both men's and unisex formats, it's a cornerstone in any collection.

Baignoire Cartier Watch

Named after its bathtub-inspired shape, the Baignoire Cartier watch has long been a favorite among women who appreciate soft, feminine curves and elegant detailing. Vintage Baignoire watches are often crafted in precious metals and are distinguished by their sensual silhouette and refined dial design.

Cartier Tonneau

First launched in 1906, the Cartier Tonneau was an early expression of Cartier’s creativity in case design. With its barrel-shaped silhouette and elongated form, the vintage Cartier Tonneau is a rare and refined option for collectors seeking something unique and elegant. These watches often feature hand-wound movements and are admired for their Art Nouveau-era charm.

Cartier Tank

Originally designed in 1917, the Cartier Tank has become one of the most enduring and recognizable watch silhouettes of all time. With models such as the Tank Louis, Tank Must, and Tank Cintrée, vintage Cartier Tank watches offer timeless appeal, especially in yellow gold or on leather straps. Their clean lines and balanced proportions make them perfect for both men and women.
