Since 1964, Cartier has figured among the most prestigious exhibitors of this elite gathering and reaffirms its allegiance to the Biennale des Antiquaires with each edition. With its 250 m2 stand, the largest of all exhibitors at the 2012 edition, Cartier unveils the full extent of its jewelled supremacy at the Biennale. Entrusted to the talent of French designer Tristan Auer, known for his refined approach and bespoke decorative work, this spectacular setting is a fitting reflection of the scope, creative power and legitimacy of the king of jewellers. This year, Cartier presented 148 pieces of high jewellery and 12 precious objects plus a selection of pieces from the Cartier Tradition collection.
