Welcome to my channel when I provide my own personal bucket list. On today's video we are going to look back in time to see what made Cartier de Giole that is today. Cartier was founded in Paris in 1847 by master jeweler Louis François Cartier. His son Alfred and grandsons Louis, Pierre & Jacques, each successively at the head of the Maison, pursued their lofty ambitions for the business. In 1899, Cartier opened its premises under Rued Lapé, the prestigious cosmopolitan hub of a capital city which attracted famous figures from all over the world. The three brothers set out to build an empire based in Paris with its sites firmly set on a broad. In 1904, Pierre and Marie traveled to Russia, a country which fascinated them and inspired an array of creations. Before long, the imperial family and Russian aristocracy were enchanted. The English aristocracy flocked to the new Cartier boutique which opened on new bond street in 1909. A few years later, the youngest brother Jacques took the reins of Cartier's British branch. He cultivated ties with figures that included some of the most remarkable Indian princes. Enchanted by Cartier's expertise in unique style, the Maharaj's entrusted Cartier with dazzling gemstones to be reset in stunning pieces of jewelry in the modern style. Thus began Cartier's inspiring relationship with India, where the Maison opened an office in 1911. Pierre Cartier, Louise Younger brother, moved to America to run the New York branch in 1909. A clientele consisting of rich industrialists from the New World and the finance sector was joined by the first stars of Broadway and of silent movies, a few decades later, by Hollywood celebrities. Extraordinary figures who discovered the spirit of excellence that has always driven the Maison. Stay tuned for next week's video. It's all about the flora and fauna collection from the notable house of Cartier. Thank you and please don't forget to subscribe.
