Cartier’s long and storied history means there are many desirable watch models to collect. Founded in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier in Paris, Cartier began as a luxury jewellery house and entered watchmaking in 1904. From then on, Cartier became known for unique, sophisticated design and helped popularise the wristwatch.
What Are the Most Popular Second-Hand Cartier Watches?
The Santos is where it began for Cartier wristwatches. In 1904, Louis Cartier created a square-cased watch for his friend, aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, so he could tell time in flight. The iconic design features a square case and visible bezel screws.
Introduced in 1983, the Panthère doubles as jewellery. Its sleek bracelet, square bezel and fluid design express effortless elegance. Updated models continue the spirit of the original.
Launched in 1917, the Tank’s rectangular or square profile has become a design icon. With multiple variations over time, the core aesthetic has remained largely unchanged.
Created in 2007, Ballon Bleu adds volume to the classic round form with a double-convex case and integrated crown guard, giving real presence on the wrist.
Introduced in 1985, Pasha is known for its rounded case, distinctive crown cover and refined style, with contemporary updates over the years.
Designed in 1912, Baignoire’s elliptical case is strikingly elegant and timeless, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors.
A modern addition, Calibre de Cartier brought an athletic, masculine profile to the range and marked Cartier’s move into in-house mechanical movements.
For traditionalists, the Ronde offers classic Roman numerals, blued hands and a clean round case for understated elegance.
Across Cartier’s diverse models, core design codes perfected by Louis Cartier run through every timepiece: bold Roman numerals, a rail-track minute scale (chemin de fer), blued steel sword hands, a cabochon-set crown, guilloché dials and the Cartier signature.
