Cartier SA
 PROFILE
Time has been good to Cartier. The creator of the women's wristwatch (1888) also made the first wristwatch with a leather strap -- for a Brazilian aviator in 1904. Now a global symbol of cosmopolitan fashion and fortune, the glittering Cartier trademark bedecks jewelry, clocks, watches, perfume, cosmetics, leather goods, and clothes. Two-thirds of its sales, however, come from jewelry and watches. Cartier baubles and beads are distributed worldwide through more than 200 local Cartier boutiques and some 10,000 licensees and retail concessions. Cartier is the jewel in the crown of the Swiss Group, Compagnie FinanciEre Richemont, through its Vendome Group subsidiary, one of the world's largest luxury goods companies.
