Cartier   watches offer a timeless and elegant design that is simple, geometric, and   beautiful.

The   following are some of the most popular mens and womens Cartier   watches:

Santos

The   Santos, the   first Cartier watch, was designed in 1904. It was named for the aviation pioneer   Albert Santos Dumont, who was a friend of Cartiers. It was designed with the   intention of making a superior watch to use while in flight. It is simple and   elegant in its design.

Tank

The Tank   Francaise Cartier mens watch was created around 1917 with the WWI American tank   in mind.  Cartier was quite fascinated by the tank and designed a sharp-edged   and sturdy watch in its honor. The Tank is constructed with vertical side pieces   and sleek lines that reminded Cartier of the simple tank design. It is still the   premier classic Cartier watch for men today.

Panthere

Simple and   elegant like the Santos, the Panthere also has extra flat links   in silver or gold, which makes it quite unique. It is appropriately designed for   all types of wear, from business to everyday to black-tie.

Pasha

This began   as a Cartier mens watch in the early 1930s. It was designed so that the Pasha   of Marrakech could have a waterproof watch with which to swim laps in his pool.   It actually started as part of the Tank series, but became its own class around   1943. The Pasha suddenly became the rage as a Cartier womens watch in the 1980s   with its large, round face and elegant yet solid construction.

Divan

The Divan   is one of the Tank watches and emerged in 2002. What makes it unique is the   rectangular face that is turned sideways for a completely new spin on the   typical design, making it look modern and very   classy.
