Jacques Cartier (jeweler)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jacques-Theodule Cartier (1885 - 1942) was one of three sons of Alfred Cartier and the brother of Pierre Cartier and Louis Cartier. Pierre's grandfather, Louis-François Cartier (1819-1904) had taken over the jewellery workshop of his teacher, Adolphe Picard, in 1847, thereby founding the famous Cartier jewelry company.

Jacques took charge of the London operation of Cartier in 1909 and eventually moved to the current location at 175 New Bond Street. He ran the store until his death in 1942.
