History

The "Must de Cartier" collection was launched in 1973 by Robert Hocq and Alain-Dominique Perrin, appointed General Manager of this new entity.

This creative line not only allowed Maison Cartier to expand its offering but also to propose a more accessible and offbeat range, thus democratizing the luxury sector while retaining its codes.

After lighters, pens and leather goods, it was the turn of the Must watch to make its appearance in 1976/77. The vermeille Tank was the first to make its entrance with the words "Must de Cartier" and the two "C"s on the dial. Although the first models were made with a manual movement, quartz quickly became the norm for these everyday, easy-to-wear watches. The Must 21 was launched in 1986.

Unlike Cartier watches in yellow gold, those in the Must line, in silver, vermeil or steel, offer a very wide variety of cases and dials. Sometimes colorful, sometimes decorated with geometric patterns, these designs give a second youth to classic models.
