Our love for rare and beautiful objects isn't limited to those of the horological variety! In addition to our perpetual treasure hunt for great watches, we cast a wider net into the world of vintage objects, a practice that, since our founding, has yielded a trove of finds we happily share during the holiday season each year.
From vintage clocks to pocket knives, lighters to diving instrumentation, old-world ashtrays to desk sculptures — these are the types of mementos that heavily tug on our nostalgic heart strings and further sate our impulse for preservation and storytelling.
Unfortunately we can't keep them all...
This vintage Cartier ‘Must de Cartier’ letter opener is one of our favorite finds to date! Featuring an attractive two-tone finish reminiscent of their famous watches, this letter opener from the storied maison features sterling silver and gold plated construction with a polished blade and a grooved handle. It’s an incredibly charming object in hand and shows off its high craftsmanship throughout— we would expect nothing less from Cartier. As a cherry on top to it all, this Cartier includes its original red presentation box.
Whether this letter opener is used solely as a display, or is deployed in carving up envelopes everyday just as it was intended to, it’ll be an endearing accent to your work or personal space. What’s more, this makes a perfect gift to any Cartier enthusiast!
