Joaquín Fernández Cebrián

Welcome to my Top Swiss Chronographs Boutique!

Founded by Louis-François Cartier in Paris in 1847, this name is icon of haute style forewer.
Cartier is regarded as one of most prestigious jewellery manufacturers worldwide. 
In 2018, it is ranked by Forbes as the world's 59th most valuable brand. 
Cartier has proud, long history of sales to royalty; the watchmaker has perhaps the most enviable historical claim of any watch brand: purveyor of the first men’s wristwatch, the Cartier Santos, in 1911. Sure, Rolex and others have some notable technological innovations, but Cartier started it all.
As the story goes, in 1904, Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont complained to friend Louis Cartier about the unreliability and impracticality of using a pocket watch while flying. Cartier designed a flat wristwatch with a square bezel and gave it to Cartier, and the watch eventually caught on with other customers. Thus, the first mass-produced men’s wristwatch (and first pilot’s watch; take that IWC!) was born. While there’s debate about the first humans to take flight — Santos-Dumont or the Wright brothers — there is no debate about the first men’s wristwatch. What also can’t be debated is that Santos-Dumont became the first person to be filmed in an airplane flight in November 1906 when he took flight for 21.5 seconds, with a Cartier watch on his wrist.
The watch series Roadster, put on the market in the year 2001, was inspired by the automotive world of the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, the first sports car with racy curved bodies came on the market, the “roadster”. The design of the Roadster watch takes on the silhouette of these vehicles. The magnifying lens of the date display is reminiscent of the air intake opening on the hood. The crown in grenades shape is reminiscent of the cooling fins of some vehicles. The screws located at the corners of the housing are a nod to the headlights of the vehicles.
