Cartier Nice

Jeweller of kings and king of jewellers, the phrase attributed to Edward VII says everything about Cartier's status in the luxury world. The Nice boutique, at 4 avenue de Verdun, embodies this royalty in a setting worthy of the reputation of the House founded in Paris in 1847.

Cartier jewellery distinguishes itself through its iconic collections that the world recognises: the Love collection (screwed bracelet, timeless love symbol), Juste un Clou (nail transformed into jewel), Panthère de Cartier (the emblematic feline in diamonds and emeralds), Trinity (three intertwined golds), Clash de Cartier, Santos-Dumont.

Watchmaking

Cartier is also a great watchmaking House, its watches are collectibles as much as timekeepers. The Tank (created 1917, absolute icon), Santos (first wristwatch in history), Ballon Bleu, Panthère are among the most appreciated complications.

Pricing

Love bracelet yellow gold 18K €7,350. Juste un Clou ring rose gold 18K: €3,700. Tank Must watch: from €1,680.

Visitor reviews

Highlights: Cartier Nice is described as one of the Carré d'Or's most beautiful boutiques. The welcome is judged impeccable. Love and Juste un Clou collections are the most purchased per Nice luxury tourism professionals. Tax refund available.

Areas for improvement: Jewellery prices are naturally very high. Lunchtime break applied. Parking remains difficult in the sector.

Overall impression: Cartier Nice is the Carré d'Or's reference jewellery-watchmaking address, a House that transcends trends and offers pieces that span generations.
