Footnote
The “Happy Birthday” collection was released in 2009. The collection was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Cartier opening its first branch in America, at 712 Fifth Avenue, New York City in 1909. The design of the collection features the distinctive Cartier monogram, usually repeatedly decorated throughout the item. That version of the Cartier logo was designed by Pierre Cartier and introduced at the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris. The collection was multidisciplinary and included jewellery, clocks, pens and leather goods.
