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.
