Founded in 1847, Cartier has long since proven that they are a pioneer in modern watchmaking. The brand first established itself as a jewellery maker, falling for the lustre and allure of luxury that Paris offers. This allowed them a prestigious clientele that is still true of today.
Louis Cartier reignited watchmaking traditions lost for over a century with his mystery clocks and, of course, high-fashion wristwatches worn by those highly regarded in society. As far back as 1888, Cartier account books mentioned the first ladies’ wristwatches; the first was created in 1902 for a friend, not as a general sale, and the earlier men’s watches that followed were all handmade in France.
When Louis Cartier took over his master watchmaker Adolph Picard’s Paris-based workshop, he was only 29 years old. He quickly changed the watch and jewellery landscape, allowing the brand’s reputation to spread across the country. Less than a decade later, Cartier had its first aristocratic customer when they catered to Princess Mathilde, cousin of Emperor Napoleon III.
In 1902, the same year as King Edward VII’s coronation, Cartier opened a boutique in London. This proved to be a wise decision, as the king declared Cartier as the ‘jewellery to kings and king of jewellers’. The first men’s wristwatch was created for Louis Cartier’s friend, aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, and became known as the Santos de Cartier watch.
Today, the treasured timepieces from Cartier are a refined modern accessory beloved by many around the world, including celebrities and royalty. But Cartier are no longer just a retailer to aristocracy and royalty. The company lives out its reputation as a high-end watch brand with a rich and interesting history.
When you buy Cartier, you are purchasing mechanisms that boast unrivalled precision and passion in each model. To wear a Cartier watch as a lady or a gentleman is to stand out.
Luxurious designs and exemplary craftsmanship are the hallmarks of Cartier’s prestigious watches. These qualities are exhibited in every piece Cartier manufacture, such as the Cartier Tank Française and the Ronde Louis Cartier. Cartier men’s watches from these ranges and many others can be found at Banks Lyon’s award-winning Lancaster showroom.
Unique and stunningly bold designs displayed by the Ballon Bleu Cartier watches models set the brand apart from the competition as a producer of superior quality men’s watches, while still retaining the timeless appeal Cartier is known for.
Cartier ladies’ watches, which are also available from Banks Lyon, are elegant and effortlessly stylish. The always popular Panthère de Cartier and Cartier Tank Française can be viewed in our showroom as well, where our professional horologists will gladly demonstrate and explain our full selection of ladies’ Cartier watches to you.

We are official stockists of Cartier watches here at Banks Lyon, which means our customers benefit from 100% authenticity and the manufacturer’s warranty. Your Cartier warranty covers a range of defects, but only if found to be defective due to a manufacturing fault. If this is the case, the watch can be repaired or replaced completely free. As standard, this warranty is 2 years for all Cartier models. However, if you register your watch with Cartier Care after purchase, you will benefit from 8 years of warranty.
There are many advantages to extending your warranty, including:
It also includes technical diagnostics and advice, should you need it. This technical diagnostic involves inspections to check precision, amplitude, and water resistance, for example, which makes sure that the watch is working optimally. The registration process is straightforward and will only take a few minutes of your time. Importantly, this registration is entirely free and does not require you to sign up for any additional services or make any payments. It is simply a way to enhance the protection of the watch you already own.
If you are struggling to register your watch or would like more information about the warranty of your timepiece, we are more than happy to help. We work closely with Cartier, and our team are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with this luxury watchmaker.
In short, yes. At Banks Lyon, we offer Cartier watches with 0% finance, which gives you the freedom to pay for your timepiece in monthly instalments. Our flexible and straightforward approach means you can spread the cost of some Cartier watches from six months all the way up to five years. Many customers prefer this option as it means they can start wearing and enjoying their timepieces right away, even if they do not have the funds available to pay for the entire cost upfront.
Our financing options are easy to follow and easy to use due to our finance calculator. Simply select the duration for which you wish to spread the cost, choose your deposit amount (from 10% to 50%), and discover what your monthly instalments will be.
Please note that financing a Cartier timepiece is subject to status and is only available for watches between £500 and £20,000. You must read the financing descriptions on the product page of your chosen timepiece to find out what is available.
As luxury watch specialists, we recommend having your watch serviced regularly, regardless of the brand. Typically, Cartier watches will need to be serviced every four to five years. During this time, several things could happen, such as:
We offer excellent watch servicing and repairs at Banks Lyon. Our team know how important a timepiece is, which is why we put all our attention and care into each watch we service, providing the peace of mind you need.
Purchasing a Cartier watch from an authorised dealer or official stockist is the best way to not only ensure you have a genuine timepiece but also benefit from a range of additional services and aftercare options. For example, we can help you register for Cartier Care, which extends your standard International Manufacturer’s Warranty to 8 years.
As Cartier watch specialists, the team at Banks Lyon have invaluable knowledge and experience with the luxury watch brand, meaning we offer our customers the best possible service and ongoing support. Whether you want to explore our personal shopper service and allow us to help you choose the best timepiece for you, or you would like to book a repair or service, we have the facilities and experience to do so.
The main difference between quartz and automatic Cartier watches is how they are powered. Quartz Cartier watches are powered by a battery. Automatic, or self-winding, Cartier timepieces are powered by a spring that is wound through the watch’s movement. There are benefits to both options, but please note that an automatic watch may be slightly less accurate if not worn for several months. This is due to the power being supplied by movement; so, if you do not move the watch for an extended period of time, there is little to no energy being supplied. If you find that your self-winding Cartier watch is fast, slow, or has stopped entirely, take advantage of our watch servicing at Banks Lyon.
We offer a wide range of quartz and automatic Cartier watches in our stores, so if you have a preference, just speak to our team, and we will point you in the right direction.
