Loan against your Cartier watch
Use your Cartier watch to access short term loans at affordable rates.
Cartier is one of the world’s most prestigious jewellery houses. As well as being at the forefront of jewellery design, it is a pioneer in watchmaking style. The brand can proudly boast that it created the first wrist watch, and the first wristwatch to have a rectangular face. The use of cutting edge technology as ensured its status with luxury watchbands.
Already established as the world’s finest Jewellery houses, Alfred Cartier took over the family business in 1874, he was keen to expand watchmaking as it had been an area only previously dabbled with. It was in fact his son Louis who was the driving force in developing Cartiers watch brand. A chance meeting in 1904 with Brazilian Aviator, Alberto-Santos-Dumont, would be pivotal in the creation of the brands most iconic watch model, The Santos. Santos-Dumont had complained of the unreliability of pocket watches during flight hence the Santos was designed. Its flat face and square bezel was instantly appealing, not only with Santos–Dumont, but also clients of Cartier. From here on, Cartier’s watch brand went from strength to strength with the addition of the Baigniore, Tortue, Tank and Pasha.
The craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail which was applied to the first Cartier watches, is still applied today. The Cartier brand commands respect and continues to be popular with watch collectors worldwide.
If a Cartier is your watch of choice, and you need a hassle free short term loan, we are only too happy to help. In order for us to provide the very optimum loan amount for you, we will need to know a few details about your Cartier watch, including:
- Model: Obviously we will always be able to loan more against some models than others due to their performance on the open market. It all depends on trends. For example, the Ballon Bleu has seen a rise in popularity due to the Duchess of Cambridge recently acquiring one.
- Condition: This is always an important factor when we consider your watch for a loan. We will need to know if there are any scratches to the surface of your watch. This also includes if you have had any later additions such as diamonds to the bezel. Another important factor to mention about your Cartier is the condition of the crown. Depending on the colour of the hands, or whether or not the particular model is diamond set, a gem is added (Sapphire, ruby or diamond) to reflect this.
- Original Fitted Case: The red Cartier box is iconic worldwide and could add to the value of your Cartier watch.
