The Cartier Christmas Gift Guide For Him & Her
What would Christmas be without a little sparkle? Whether it be the twinkle of fairy lights, the gleam of a shiny tree ornament or the dazzle of a priceless bijou, the holiday season always promises to be a magical occasion for the magpies in all of us.
What's even more magical is the prospect of gifts. Sure, picking out the perfect present may seem like a daunting task but you can never really go wrong with the gift of Cartier. Timelessly iconic with a festive flair, behold the Cartier Christmas gift guide for all the special ladies and gentlemen in your life.
What's more appropriate for the holidays than the ultimate symbol of love? Since its creation in 1969, the Love bracelet has remained one of Cartier's most iconic masterpieces, thanks to its understated and ergonomic design which reconciles both the feminine and masculine.
Symbolising enduring love and attachment to one other, it comes as no surprise that the Love bracelet has been worn by some of the world's most famous couples such as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Frank Sinatra and his wife Nancy.
When radical thinking meets bold design, the result is the Juste Un Clou. Modeled after a humble piece of hardware, the iconic nail bracelet is undoubtedly Cartier's most audacious take on fine jewellery. Take your pick from yellow, white and pink gold or with pavé diamonds; whichever you may choose, the Juste Un Clou bracelet will add a dose of utilitarian chic to any outfit.
Think 'icon' and the Cartier Tank watch will surely spring to mind. Celebrating its milestone 100th anniversary this year, the timepiece has become the universal symbol of style and elegance – spawning several cult models such the Tank Américaine, Tank Anglaise, and Tank Solo.
What makes the Tank so unique is its shape; not quite square, not quite rectangular. Governed by its perfectly proportioned composition, the Tank asserts no gender and remains an eternally comtemporary timepiece.
What do you get for the man who has everything? Naturally, a heritage timepiece dedicated to one of the world's greatest aviators. Created in 1904 by Louis Cartier himself for his friend Albert Santos-Dumont, the Santos de Cartier is one of the first ever wristwatches in history.
Looking to the themes of adventure and elegance, Cartier marked the centenary of the iconic watch with the introduction of the Santos 100, a series of masculine timepieces which feature a distinctive square bezel with rounded angles and exposed screws.
