Where is Cartier's headquarters located?

Cartier’s headquarters are located in Paris, France.

That location reflects the company’s origins: Louis-François Cartier founded the jewelry house in Paris in 1847. The Paris branch later moved to Rue de la Paix in 1899, placing Cartier near the city’s luxury-shopping and jewelry district. Paris remains the company’s corporate home even though Cartier operates internationally.

Cartier’s global structure can create confusion. The brand has historic “Temples” or major maisons in Paris, London, and New York, and it is owned by Richemont, a Swiss luxury-goods group. Neither London nor New York is Cartier’s headquarters; they are important historic centers of the business. Geneva is also associated with Swiss watchmaking and luxury administration, but it is not the listed headquarters city for Cartier.

Paris is also central to Cartier’s identity and design history. The company’s French base helped connect its jewelry, watchmaking, and high-fashion reputation with the city’s royal, artistic, and luxury traditions. Today, Cartier sells jewelry, watches, leather goods, eyewear, and fragrances worldwide while retaining Paris as its headquarters location.
