圖錄文章
Last but not least, the Mysterieux, 150th Anniversaire Collection Privées de Cartier cased in yellow gold from the private collection completes the trilogy. Like the previous two examples in white gold and pink gold, this is also numbered 150 of a limited edition of 150 pieces. It was a collection of exceptional objects produced in a limited edition series and featuring three symbolical numbers: 3, 150 and 1847. Respectively these numbers evoke the 3 legendary Cartier shops in Paris, London and New York, and the magic of a milestone of 150 years, as well as 1847 the maison’s founding year.

These creations include the delicacy of a motif borrowed from the jewel maker’s heritage, and engraved with the L♡C anniversary crest which remains truly contemporary although first designed 150 years ago by Louis Cartier.

Cartier

French
With the Constitution of 1848 came a new standard for luxury in France. Founded one year prior by Louis-Francois Cartier, the house of Cartier was one of the first to use platinum in jewelry making. This incredibly expensive material became the stepping-stone for Cartier to experiment in form, mechanisms and attitude. It helped men move from pocket watches to wristwatches, effectively making the watch much more functional and prominent in a man's overall wardrobe.Cartier did not only touch on functionality. Inspired by a commissioned painting by George Barbier featuring a black panther at the feet of an elegantly bejeweled woman, Cartier began incorporating wild animals in his designs—most notably, Cartier Panthère rings, bangle bracelets and watches. Yet it wasn't until the late 1960s that the house of Cartier debuted their iconic yellow and rose gold LOVE collection, which includes the famous bracelet that only a special screwdriver can open.
