Brilliant Cartier short film: L'Odyssée de Cartier
Cartier has just premiered the brilliant short film L'Odyssée de Cartier. As the title suggests it takes the viewer on a journey through Cartier's history, led by the creature synonymous with Cartier, the panther. Interestingly all the animals (save the dragon of course) in the film are real, none of them are computer generated.
Numerous details (including one of my favourite watches from the CPCP) from Cartier's history are visible in the film if you look carefully. Cartier's key cultural inspirations for its creations are depicted, as are important designs from across its history. An incredible amount of information has been cleverly packed into three and a half minutes of film.
This is well worth watching.

Screen captures from the film
If the film went by too quickly, here are screen captures of several important scenes. - SJX This message has been edited by SJX on 2012-03-02 20:19:41...
Nicely done video...
I do believe I know the underlying history to all the major references. The film pays homage to: Panther starts off within the Opera house, presumably. Cartier's history in Russia. Cartier's history in India. Cartier's historical creations of a jeweled me...
Good eye
You got most of it. But I'm not telling otherwise it takes the fun out of watching the clip. The Hope Diamond is more closely associated with Harry Winston, he famously mailed it via USPS, so probably Cartier left it out for that reason. - SJX
Very cool filmlet
But I found the editing a bit jarring with the numerous scene jumps. That diminished my enjoyment of a good story
L'Odyssée de Cartier preview in Singapore
A few days ago Cartier held a preview screening for the media in Singapore at the posh St Regis hotel. Although it was only the screening for a 3:30 long film, it was a top class event as Cartier events always are. - SJX Lining one wall were beautiful pri...
What a movie and what a presentation
Top SJX, thanks for these images. Love the sketches on the walls. GEO
A couple more subtle Cartier references in the movie
I think the white gold, yellow gold and pink gold rings in the earlier part of the movie are a reference to their Trinity line of jewellery. And the plane is a reference to Cartier's "association" with aviator Santos-Dumont. Very well done. Regards, Richa...
Very well done
Hi SJX, Very well done and nice movie to look at. This is what French top luxury is all about! That's a Cartier I love! Best Dje
Which Santos is the aviator wearing?
Can someone tell me which santos exactly the aviator is wearing at 2:11? Can't find it on the website...
Excellently executed
The cinematography and direction was fantastic. Well done Cartier!
Beautifully executed piece, mirroring many achievements
associations and incredible works that we all associate with Cartier. I really felt a bond with the panther, especially at the end! Thanks SJX and Cartier for another great work. Best, Tim
They're running this ....
as an ad. here, the whole shebang! I was spellbound the first time I saw it; what a great commercial! F
Indeed, it will be on TV and in theatres too.
Would look great on a theatre screen or widescreen TV for sure. - SJX
