Cartier also represents almost 150 years in the history of a company, its designers, and their works of art. Cartier's history is so rich that few jewelers can rival it. For a long time the artworks made in the Rue de la Paix workshops were created for a clientele of great world figures - a wealthy and famous elite from five continents, the great royal houses of Europe, American tycoons, Indian maharajahs, and stars of stage and screen. The high society, politicians, writers, and artists of the 19th and 20th centuries all loved and collected Cartier jewelry, watches, and accessories. Clocks and watches are a particularly fascinating part of the great Cartier tradition which continues successfully today on all markets of good taste and modern elegance. Jeweler-watchmaker or watchmaker-jeweler Cartier is a master in both areas. From pocket watches to wristwatches and from mysterieuse pendulum clocks to travel alarm clocks, creating timepieces is one of the pillars of the Cartier empire. Le Temp de Cartier is bringing all these treasures of the great Cartier watchmaking tradition to the attention of a wider public. Until now, only a privileged few have been able to admire them. The exceptional masterpieces jealously guarded in the rue de la Poix archives, in collectors' safes, and in the Cartier Museum have now come out into the light to sparkle on the pages of this book which tells their Story.
