1985 original advertising poster for Cartier French luxury house
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1985 original advertising poster for Cartier, titled "Joailliers Horlogers Depuis 1847 - Fondation Cartier", is a visually striking and elegant representation of the brand’s timeless craftsmanship and luxurious appeal. Created in celebration of Cartier’s long-standing tradition as a master jeweler and watchmaker, this poster encapsulates the brand's dedication to artistry, precision, and sophistication.
Founded in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, the French luxury house Cartier quickly became renowned for its high-end jewelry and watches, catering to European royalty and aristocrats. Over the decades, Cartier expanded its influence to become one of the most prestigious names in the world of luxury goods, known for creating iconic designs such as the Tank watch, the Santos watch, and the Love bracelet.
By 1985, Cartier was well-established as a global leader in luxury timepieces and jewelry, and the brand’s advertising was aimed at reinforcing its legacy and status. The poster for “Joailliers Horlogers Depuis 1847” captures this legacy in a sleek, modern format while also nodding to the classic, refined elegance that Cartier represents.
The 1985 poster emphasizes Cartier’s expertise in watchmaking, with the focus on a close-up of one of its iconic timepieces. The clean, minimalistic composition is dominated by an enlarged image of a Cartier wristwatch, likely the classic Tank model, which was originally designed in 1917. The Roman numerals on the dial and the blue sapphire cabochon crown, signature elements of Cartier watches, are prominently displayed, highlighting the exquisite attention to detail and precision craftsmanship for which Cartier is famous.
The design uses muted colors, with shades of gold and beige contrasting against the clean white and blue tones of the watch. The blue of the sapphire cabochon, a signature detail of Cartier watches, draws the viewer’s eye, subtly signifying the luxurious nature of the product. The use of metallic gold accents further enhances the feeling of opulence and high quality.
The typography is refined and elegant, with the name “Cartier” placed delicately above the image, reinforcing brand recognition without overwhelming the visual composition. The lower part of the poster contains the phrase “Joailliers Horlogers Depuis 1847,” which translates to "Jeweler and Watchmaker Since 1847," emphasizing the long history and heritage of the brand. The words “Fondation Cartier” reference the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, which was established in 1984, just a year before this poster was released. The foundation represents Cartier’s commitment not just to luxury goods but also to the broader cultural and artistic spheres, a theme which resonates in this poster.
By the 1980s, Cartier had already achieved global status, and its advertising reflected the brand's mix of historical prestige and modern relevance. This poster is an excellent example of how Cartier balanced its traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design aesthetics. The 1980s were a time of opulence and luxury in the fashion world, and Cartier’s marketing emphasized timeless elegance over fleeting trends.
The watch featured in the poster exemplifies Cartier’s ethos: classic, functional, yet utterly luxurious. The simplicity of the design does not detract from its inherent value, making it appealing to a wide range of customers, from royalty to modern-day collectors. Cartier’s ability to craft products that are instantly recognizable while maintaining exclusivity has been a key part of its branding, and this 1985 poster is a perfect illustration of that strategy.
