Pre-Owned Cartier Watches

Cartier has defined elegance since Louis-François Cartier founded the maison in 1847. In 1904 Louis Cartier designed the Santos for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont — one of the first purpose-built wristwatches — and the brand has shaped watch design ever since.

The Tank, inspired by the lines of a battlefield tank, is among the most iconic watches ever made; the Ballon Bleu offers rounded modern grace; and the Panthère blurs the line between watch and jewellery. Cartier's shaped cases and Roman-numeral dials are unmistakable.

Every pre-owned Cartier at Pride & Pinion is authenticated, fully serviced and sold with our warranty — timeless Parisian design acquired with complete confidence.
