Now I don’t want to pretend for a second that Cartier is deserving of any pity or sympathy. Cartier is an impressive company, and one that I think will be a true force in the high-end watchmaking world for years to come, and it’s about time people wake up to just what Cartier is doing. In fact, I would say that Cartier is one of three Richemont-owned watchmakers that are pushing things forward in a major way yet do not receive the mass approval of horological enthusiasts because of historical positioning (the other two being Piaget – just wait 'til you see what they plan to announce on December 5th – and Montblanc, who is slowly but surely converting more than a few purists). I’ll begin by saying this: Cartier deserves your respect.
