Cartier named the watch to Santos, and it was a huge success. In 1907, Cartier entered in to a partnership with Edmond Jaeger, who became the exclusive supplier of all the movements for Cartier watches. By this time, Cartier was well-established in London, New York and St Petersburgh, and was well on his way to be the most successful watch manufacturer in the world. In 1912, Cartier introduced the models Baignoire and Tortue, followed by the Tank in 1917. The models Baignoire, Tortue, Tank and Pasha are still in production today. In 1920, Cartier formed a joint company with Edmond Jaeger to produce movements for Cartier watches. The company was called European Watch & Clock Company. They produced movements only for Cartier, but Cartier continued to use movements even from other manufacturers. Cartier watches can be found with movements from Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Movado and Jaeger LeCoultre. As a result, the company became financially and artistically stagnant. This continued till 1972, when a group of investors took over the company and made Alain Perrin as its CEO. Alain Perrin, a former antique dealer, launched the Le Must line, and recreated old classics such as the Santos. |
