Footnotes
Long before Santos, the first mass-produced wristwatch, was introduced in 1904, Cartier carved out a reputation as a master of decorative desk clocks. With their jeweller background, Cartier have been creating clocks integrating horology and exceptional taste for over a century. These clocks are not only decorations for on the desk, but also represent the finest level of watchmaking and art. With more and more pieces produced, Cartier's experience and reputation in clocks have become very important in the entire history of watch- and clock making.
