Tortue Watches



Patrimony, art, commitment, excellence....these are the guidelines that Cartier adhere to every time they create a timepiece. The company traces its roots back to 1847 when Louis-Francois Cartier took over the workshop of his master and began work. In 1853 he opened up to private clientele and the buisness began to expand at a phenomenal rate. In 1997 Cariter celebrated its 150th anniversary by hosting a major exhibition of collected works from the past 150 years. Today Cartier continues expanding their collection by producing more pieces of fine art for men and women. Their timepieces are amongst some of the most exclusive, most sought after on the planet with a huge variety of styles existing within each collection.

The Tortue

The modern version of Cartier’s Tortue Tank watch is also an impressive piece of luxury craftsmanship. The Tortue-Enamel limited edition features an octagonal crown set with diamonds and yellow gold. It also has a beautiful enameled dial with a phoenix motif, which is akin to a fine work of art. The Tortue is luxurious modern piece for the discerning individual.
