early life of jacques cartier

Associated with fine jewels since 1847, Cartier's creations illustrate the inventiveness of a jeweler who is motivated by history but is precisely focused on the future. Cartier La Do?a Watch in leather is the perfect model to establish it. Creative and extravagant, the La Dona de Cartier watch exudes a new feminine aesthetic with larger case and a leather strap. While retaining a strong Cartier identity of blue hands and Roman numerals, this collection was launched in 2006 to honor one of Mexico's greatest movie stars, Maria Felix, known as La Do?a.

The Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco Legion of Honor is hosting an exclusive exhibition named "Cartier and America" which is going to cover the history of Cartier in America through the 70's from the private Cartier Collection housed in Geneva. The exhibition will display a spectacular array of more than 300 objects includes an extensive variety of jewellery forms like the Tutti Frutti necklace, the Crocodile necklace, 1975. The exhibition also hosts classical watches and masterpieces of horology such as Maurice Couet's mystery clocks, the Egyptian Striking Clock and the FDR Victory Clock that was auctioned by Sotheby's for a record $1.6 million in December 2007.
