1984, 1986, 1988 – even the numbers of the years of the eighties exude a certain coolness and the glamour of mythical luxury. Princess Diana, Grace Jones and Jerry Hall were the icons of this decade of sparkling hedonism. It was also the decade of LES MUST de Cartier, the age in which Cartier’s signature accessories – from cigarette lighters to golden fountain pens – became highly coveted cult objects.

1989–2009: Twenty years later, Cartier is presenting a new edition of modern Les Must accessories. Small, costly items which one treats oneself to and which add a touch of luxury to everyday life.

Les Must de Cartier make glamorous small wishes come true:

My must-have talisman: scarabs and tortoises made of red, yellow or white gold, some set with diamonds, embellish rings, brooches, bracelets and key rings, giving the lucky wearer moments of pure shining joy. Also new: cuff-links made of palladium-plated silver and ivory-coloured lacquer.

My must-have watch: no motif sums up the eighties better than the panther. And no shape is more typical and iconic than the simple “Tank”, which was immortalized on the wrists of style-leaders like Jacqueline Onassis and Alain Delon. The shining star of 2009 is the “Tank Solo”, which features panther spots and a leather strap, making it the number one eye-catcher in today’s on-trend power look.
