Repairs By Post have just completed a full strip down, clean and mechanical service on a 1920's Rolex marked movement pocket watch for me. This is the fourth vintage/antique pocket watch that they have serviced for me and each time the service and work, including glass replacement etc, has been excellent. Some of the pocket watches in my collection are hard to come by antiques, but I would trust them to Jonathan and Repairs By Post each and every time. You can find cheaper, but I haven't better.

David Mintz

I have used repairs by post on two previous occasions and we were delighted with the service received. Our items came back polished and clean and it has been the only repair treatment that has lasted and stood the test of time. Would recommend and would use again. I shall shortly be sending my watch in for servicing and repair.

Founded by Louis-François Cartier in Paris in 1847, Cartier is a brand synonymous with luxury.  In 1904 Cartier produced its first wristwatch, the Santos, named after the famous aviator  Alberto Santos-Dumont complained to Louis about how difficult it was to use a pocket watch whilst flying. The Santos collection is still available today. My the late 1910s there were Cartier shops in Paris, London and New York. In 1919 the Tank was produced, inspired by the tanks used during the war. The Tank is still available today.

In 1902 Edward VII ordered 27 tiaras and awarded Cartier the Royal Warrant a few years later. In addition to this Royal Warrant, Cartier has been granted Royal Warrants from Spain, Portugal and Russia.

Cartier remains a brand famous for its luxury watches and jewellery.

Cartier maintenance and care tips

Cartier WATCH CLEANING BETWEEN PROFESSIONAL POLISHING

Wearing your Cartier watch naturally leads to a build-up of natural residue, but this can be remedied through gently cleaning your watch with a clean toothbrush and liquid soap. Failing to do this might lead your steel strap to oxidise and irritate the skin. This method should only be used for Cartier steel straps.

If your Cartier has a leather strap, it mustn’t get wet. Water damage on leather leads to loss of function and style. Repairs by Post can offer Cartier watch strap replacement and Cartier clasp replacement if your strap suffers damage. Repairs by Post also offer Cartier watch polishing too.

A replacement watch clasp saves you having to replace the entire strap. We use either manufacturer’s original parts or equivalents where suitable. We match the clasp to your strap, fit it, and before we return it to you, we will assess your watch to see if any other work is required, such as loose links or scratched glass.

AVOID SHOCKS TO YOUR WRIST

Shocks can cause damage to your watch and reduce its lifecycle. Always remove your watch before undertaking any sporting activity; this includes golf. The vibrations of jolting movements can damage the delicate inner components of your Cartier watch.

AVOID RAPID TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Leaving your watch open to sudden changes of temperature can lead to damage, when not being worn keep your timepiece in a cool dark place, such as a drawer. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight at temperatures above 60 degrees cause damage to the mechanism.

AVOID WATER AND DUST DAMAGE

If you Cartier is coming into contact with water, ensure the crown is fully depressed to limit the chance of water infiltration. Should your Cartier watch suffer water damage send it to Repairs by Post immediately for Cartier watch repair?

AVOID CHLORINATED AND SALTWATER

Tap water and dust can cause damage to your Cartier, but the infiltration of chlorinated or salt water is especially dangerous. These liquids corrode the delicate intricacies of the mechanism. Always remove your Cartier watch when around these liquids as a precaution.

CARTIER’S LATEST CREATIONS

CLÉ DE CARTIER AUTOMATIC SKELETON

A Fully skeletonised version of the Clé de Cartier, which was first introduced by Cartier in 2015. Fitted with a self-winding crown and self-centring mechanism that automatically puts the crown in line with the flank of the case when released.

It uses the in-house Cartier calibre 9621 MC movement, with a 22k gold rotor, alligator strap and clasp in 18k white gold. The power reserve is 48 hours at 28,800 VPH.

THE CARTIER CRASH SKELETON IN PINK GOLD

One of Cartier’s biggest hits of 2015 Reworked for 2016, the “Crash” was first introduced in 1967. It has a Cartier calibre 9618 MC movement and a power reserve of 3 days. Beating at 28,800 VPH.

ROTONDE DE CARTIER EARTH AND MOON (WITH METEORITE DIAL)

By pressing the pusher at four o’clock a disk precisely the diameter of the tourbillon cage to swing into position, indicating, by how much it obscures the tourbillon, the current phase of the moon.

It features an independent, fully adjustable second time-zone.

The movement is the same as last years calibre 9440 MC, at 38.80mm.

The design has a lunar-feeling, meteorite dial which manages very well to convey what Buzz Aldrin called the “magnificent desolation” of the moon.

THE PANTHÈRES ET COLIBRI WITH ANIMATED DIAL AND ON-DEMAND POWER RESERVE

Seen to be both high-end jewellery and watch complication. Pressing the crown activates the dial animation: a baby panther in pink gold emerges from below its mother, while the hummingbird ascends along an arc, with the distance it travels to escape the pouncing infant showing the remaining power reserve.

The movement is Cartier calibre 9915 MC, 36.18mm x 5.45mm.

The case is in 18k white gold; with the panther in rhodium finished 18k white gold.

The mother panther is set with 270 brilliant-cut diamonds, with her spots in black lacquer; the 42.75mm case is set with 314 brilliant-cut diamonds.

THE CARTIER PANTHÈRE MYSTÉRIEUSE

Cartier has been creating mystery watches since 1913. The movement is a calibre 9981 MC driven by a 27 jewel. The panther has 533 diamonds encrusted on it. The eyes are set with pear-cut emeralds.

THE ROTONDE DE CARTIER DAY/NIGHT RETROGRADE MOON PHASES

Said to be based by Cartier’s “Comet” clocks a favourite among collectors. The hours are marked with a rotating sun/moon disk which the dial points to 6 am to 6 pm for sun, and 6 pm to 6 am to the moon.

The movement is calibre 9912 MC and consists of 290 parts, including 44 jewels.

History of Cartier watches

Today Cartier is known globally as a jeweller who designs, manufactures and sells watches and jewellery. They are famous for being one of the best luxury watches on the market and are coveted for their superior craftsmanship, but where did this industry giant begin?

The 1840’S

The brand was founded in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier in Paris and was under his control until 1874 until his son, Alfred took over the business. However, it was thanks to his sons Louis, Pierre and Jacques, that the brand became a recognisable name worldwide which it remains today. Alfred’s son Louis Cartier was passionate about pocket watches, but when his pilot friend, Alberto Santos-Dumont, complained about the impracticality of using pocket watches Louis was inspired to create the first Cartier wristwatch in 1904. His design incorporated a distinctive square bezel. The watch was named the “Santos” and proved popular with many other customers. After this success, it was Louis who held responsibility for the Cartier Branch in Paris, and it was his eye for design that led to some of the brand’s most popular watch styles, including the mystery clock.

Mystery clocks hands seem to float, but in fact, each hand is fixed to a clear crystal (or citrine) disc which rotates.

Their faces appear solid crystal but are a sandwich of crystal, with the filling being the discs with hands.

The two discs move, driven by works in the base and by unseen connecting gears fixed at 6 o’clock in the frame.

Today Cartier still create this fantastic design with their new Rotonde De Cartier Astromystérieux watch taking inspiration from these original designs. The movement, which is in-house made at Cartier’s haute horology workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, is the new calibre 9462 MC. The total movement, including what you can and cannot see, is comprised of 408 parts and is 39mm wide by 5.9mm thick.

After the success of the mystery watches in the 1800’s Cartier began contracts with companies such as Edmond Jaeger, who agreed to supply the movements for Cartier watches exclusively.

1907

Now it was 1907, and the brand had expanded to London, New York and Saint Petersburg and was growing in success and popularity. It was in these years that the Bagniore, Tortue and Tank model were produced, both of which are still popular today.

The “Baignoire” was first created in 1906 and demonstrated Cartier’s prowess in crafting watchmaking forms. A discreetly elegant ellipse uniquely forged in a single line, the “Baignoire” watch is the essence of Cartier style: a unique marriage of purity and timeless chic. Today the Baignore is exclusively part of the Carter women’s collection.

1912

Louis Cartier imagined a tortoise-inspired watch, the Tortue, in 1912. At a time when all watches were round, the groundbreaking design went on to earn the status of a classic. Cartier offers both ladies’ and men’s models of this watch in a full range of styles, available in gold, and can even be purchased set or fully paved with diamonds.

1917

Louis Cartier created the Tank watch in 1917. A legend was born. The prototype was presented as a gift to General Pershing some years before the watch was brought to market in 1919. The lugs blend seamlessly into the stark edges of flat vertical brancards, lending the watch its unique aesthetic. The clean, crisp lines have proved hugely popular with a free-spirited, elegant clientèle. The now-iconic Tank watch has inspired countless variations yet managed to preserve its distinctive identity. The tanks of the western front inspired the design of these pieces. Over 30 different Cartier watch styles have been created using this design.

The 1920’S

In the early 1920s, Cartier joined with Edward Jaeger to create a company which designed and produced movements solely for Cartier. The brand started adding their reference numbers to the watches they sold, which was typically a four-digit code under the lug. The watch brand continued to grow and was eventually headed up in New York City by Louis’ brother, Pierre. In 1964 Pierre Cartier died and his children, along with their cousin Jean-Jacque Cartier sold the business.

2019

The Cartier 2019 Santos-Dumont, proudly shows the signature of the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. The design of the watch purposefully remains close to the original design of 1904 (although it was not available to the public until 1911). Cases are available in gold, gold and steel or all steel. Cartier has also kept the iconic Roman numerals, the visible screws and blue cabochon. The crown on this new 2019 model is larger than its more modern predecessors, more similar in size to a more vintage model. This widely anticipated watch does not disappoint.

The decision was made to produce the watch in stainless steel (whereas historically it has only been available in precious metals) to widen the audience of the Santos-Dumont, although a platinum bracelet is available on request.

POST FAMILY OWNERSHIP

In 1972, a group of investors created Cartier’s slogan “Les Must de Cartier” which translates to “Cartier. It’s a must!” The same investors went on to purchase Cartier London and New York. The brands were combined to create “Cartier Monde”.

In 1994 Robert Hocq of “Les Must de Cartier” died suddenly, and control of the company passed to his sister. Since 2012 Cartier has been owned by Richemont and the 24-year-old granddaughter of Pierre Cartier.
