The History and (Confusing) Watches of Cartier
Listen now
Description
In this episode, Matt and Cameron explore the history of Cartier, a name associated with many things: monarchical crown jewels, massive diamonds, and the classic, rectangular Tank watch, now in production for nearly 100 years. We confuse ourselves with all the little variants of the tank, check out some of Cartier's more modern lineup, and discuss the significance of the company in the history of watchmaking.  We also discuss the book 'The Radium Girls' by Kate Moore and take a look at the offerings from Blu Shark Straps!  https://www.blusharkstraps.com/ This podcast is available as a video!
