Extra Points The 'Must De' Cartier concept was first introduced around 1973 when the Cartier lighter became the must have accessory. Cartier branched out from jewellery to pens, leather goods, fragrances and more affordable watches. One of the main ways they transformed their designs way by making them out of vermeil, or silver gilt, which is gold plated sterling silver. This made the watches more affordable whilst still having the prestige of being made from a precious metal. Various sizes, dial colours and finishes were then produced for both men and women. The Must de Cartier line was faded out at the beginning of the 21st century. This watch comes fully serviced by our on site workshop and with a 12 month, non waterproof service cover. What we think We love Cartier here at AWC and are excited to offer a range of variations of this model HERE. It is a brand that offers timeless elegance across all of its watches, yet never fails to produce a variety of adaptations in its classic designs.
