Royalty around the world wore Cartier pieces, including Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, the Maharaja of Patiala and King Edward VII, who had 27 tiaras made by the jewelry house for his coronation in 1902 and issued Cartier a royal warrant in 1904. Under the leadership of Louis-François’s son, Alfred, who took over in 1874, business boomed. Of course, in the beginning, it was a relatively modest affair, but by the late 1850s, Cartier had its first royal client, Princess Mathilde Bonaparte, niece of Napoleon Bonaparte, who commissioned the jeweler to design brooches, earrings and other accessories. Nevertheless, it was the year Louis-François Cartier (1819–1904) - who was born into poverty - founded his eponymous empire, assuming control of the workshop of watchmaker Adolphe Picard, under whom he had previously been employed as an assistant. Perhaps 1847 was not the ideal time to open a new watchmaking and jewelry business, as the French Revolution was not kind to the aristocracy who could afford such luxuries. I'll definitely consider True Facet for my future timepiece purchases.For its extraordinary range of bracelets, watches, rings and other adornments, French luxury house Cartier is undeniably one of the most well known and internationally revered jewelers in the world among clients both existing and aspirational. And everything else - from the careful packaging, beautiful card stock, and True Facet valuation report - was truly top-shelf. Along with genuine box and papers (stamped by an authorized dealer), I couldn't be more happy with my purchase. It was listed as "preowned excellent" but it was truly MINT. That's why I was even more amazed when I received the watch. I had been eyeing this model for quite some time, and as seldom as the watch gets listed for sale, the price offered at True Facet was simply unbeatable. So with everything in mind, I decided to take a chance on my first watch from True Facet, a Jaeger LeCoultre Master Calendar - the older model with the power reserve at 12. Most importantly, I never felt any pressure to buy. And when I had concerns about shipping time, Tirath, the CEO, was quick to assist and address any potential issues. She explained True Facet's return policy, how certain watches are sourced, including True Facet's guaranty of authenticity. However, Rachel, who helped me, was very knowledgeable, responsive and friendly, answering any and all questions I had. That's why I was a little reluctant about the Jaeger LeCoultre listed on True Facet, having never seen the actual watch in person. Due to the care I received, I would gladly recommend this company without a doubt to any of my watch wearing friends!Īs an avid watch collector, I'm still a little hesitant to purchase timepieces online, especially when the cost is in the thousands of dollars. Great business model, and overall excellent staff. The price of the watch was by far not at the top of their list, yet I was treated as if I were buying their $200,000 Patek Phillipe. Not only did I receive a great looking luxury watch in time for the wedding (which by the way, looked exactly like those in the pictures), but they really took care of my delivery request and left me feeling like a special client.
#PRE OWNED CARTIER CALIBRE DIVER VERIFICATION#
Through the week, I maintained contact with the manager and one other team manager, and they lived up to their promise! They made sure the watch would pass their verification process (which is normally upwards of five days already) and made sure to ship it to arrive all within an acceptable time frame. I wrote an email to True Facet after purchasing the watch, and within 10 minutes on a Sunday night, their customer service manager emailed back. I recently purchased a watch from TrueFacet, and of course, like most people - made a last minute decision to purchase a week before I wanted to wear the watch at a special occasion (my friends wedding).
