The Sewing Mom

What do you think of when you hear “Cartier”? Personally, I think of jewelry, diamonds, rubies, emeralds, gold, you name it, Cartier designs with it and it always turns into something beautiful. When my husband thinks of Cartier, he thinks immediately of watches.

If I won the lottery, I’d be purchasing this watch for my husband for our upcoming wedding anniversary. Isn’t it beautiful? This Cartier Pasha watch has an 18K rose gold casing set with diamonds and a brown leather strap. My husband would be thrilled to add this watch to his watch collection and I would be thrilled if I could give it to him!

Did you know that the House of Cartier was founded in 1847? The founder, Louis-François Cartier, was a master jeweler to the crowned heads of Europe. He became known for designing pieces with elegance and fine craftsmanship. The tradition was continued with Cartier watches.

I recently asked my husband how many watches he owned.  I was very surprised when he told me 12 or 13!  I thought he owned 4 or 5.  While they’re definitely not in the price range of the Cartier watches, they’re not inexpensive watches either.  He enjoys the antique watches and those with automatic movement.  He recently acquired a box that holds a watch and regularly rotates to keep the watch movements in action.  One of these days I hope to find a way for him to have all of his watches on display, they are all beautiful and deserve that.
