DEPUTY BOUTIQUE MANAGER OPERATIONS
About us
Since 1847, Cartier represents the reference in luxury and is the symbol of excellence due to its extraordinary know-how, powerful values, and unique creativity. Animated by a “pioneer spirit”, our Maison is recognized as a “dream maker” through a distinctive network all around the world.
The first connection between Cartier and the Middle East and India region was established in 1912. At that time, Jacques Cartier, one of the grandsons of Maison’s founder traveled to the region, seeking artistic inspiration, natural pearls, and strong partnerships.
This journey of Jacques Cartier inspired the Maison. Today, our regional boutiques blend passion, exquisite creations, hospitality, and generosity to create and celebrate memorable moments with our guests.
Each ambassador extends Maison’s legacy built by Jacques Cartier in the Middle East and India.
