Cartier FAQ
What are some of the most popular Cartier watch models?
Cartier's most iconic pieces are the "Santos," which was created in 1904 as the world's first practical pilot's watch, and the "Tank," a masterpiece inspired by tank tracks. In recent years, the "Santos de Cartier," a modern reinterpretation of the classic design, has gained worldwide popularity. Other appealing Cartier watches include the elegantly rounded "Baignoire" and the three-dimensional case of the "Roadster," all featuring timeless designs that have been loved for over 100 years.
Should I choose Santos or Tank? Please explain the differences.
The Santos features a sporty yet striking design with a square case accented with screws and an integrated bracelet, making it suitable for a wide range of occasions, from business to casual. The Tank, on the other hand, is characterized by its elongated, slim profile and a leather strap, giving it a dressy and sophisticated look. The Santos is recommended for those who want to wear it actively every day and want a touch of flair on their wrist, while the Tank is recommended for those who want to match it with elegant and formal attire.
Does a Cartier watch have any investment value? Will its value depreciate?
Cartier is a top maison and one of the "world's five greatest jewelers." Classic models like the Tank and Santos have remained popular for over 100 years, and their value remains stable in the pre-owned market. In particular, the Santos and Tank have seen improved resale rates due to recent price revisions, and well-maintained examples are highly valued as investment timepieces. Models with diamonds set in stainless steel and rare vintage pieces also enjoy strong demand.
Can Cartier watches be worn by both men and women?
Cartier is a prime example of a brand that can be enjoyed by both men and women. Many models are available in multiple case sizes such as SM, MM, and LM, allowing men to choose larger sizes and women to choose smaller sizes, all while maintaining the same design in their preferred size. They are often chosen as couples' watches or gifts, and they elegantly elevate the wrist of anyone, regardless of gender.
ゆきざきで販売されているカルティエはすべて本物ですか?
ご安心ください。ゆきざきでは熟練の時計技師と専門の査定士が、自社専門工房「ゆきざきラボ」で何重もの真贋チェックを行っています。本物(真正品)と確認できた商品のみを店頭・オンラインに掲載しているため、コピー品や模倣品が混入することは一切ございません。創業45年以上の取扱い実績に裏打ちされた確かな鑑定眼で、安心してお求めいただけます。
I'm worried about the condition of a pre-owned Cartier. How do you manage the condition of your watches?
ゆきざきの中古カルティエは、店頭に並ぶ前にすべて専門の時計技師が外装のクリーニング・研磨や機械の点検・調整を実施し、さらに販売責任者による二重チェックを通過した良質な個体のみを販売しています。商品ごとに状態を明記し、気になる点は写真やスタッフへのお問い合わせで事前にご確認いただけるため、中古でも安心してお選びいただけます。
Does the absence of the box or warranty (guarantee) affect the value or price of a Cartier watch?
中古市場では、保証書や箱などの付属品が揃っている個体ほど価値が高くなり、特に保証書の有無は将来の買取価格に影響します。一方でゆきざきでは付属品のない商品はその分お求めやすい価格でご提供しているため、ご自身で長く愛用される目的であれば非常にお得です。付属品の有無は商品ページに明記しておりますので、用途に合わせてお選びいただけます。
Is there a difference in quality between parallel imports and genuine Cartier products?
The quality, manufacturing line, and performance of the watch itself are exactly the same (world-standard quality). The only difference is the distribution route: "genuine products" are those purchased through the domestic official distribution route, while "parallel imports" are those legally purchased from authorized dealers overseas. Rest assured that even parallel imports can be serviced at Cartier's official service centers if they are genuine Cartier watches.
ゆきざきで購入したカルティエにはどんな保証が付きますか?
ゆきざきでは新品・中古を問わず安心してご愛用いただける保証をお付けしています(保証内容・期間は商品状態により異なります)。通常使用の範囲で生じた機械内部の自然故障は、自社専門工房での修理・調整に対応。店頭窓口を通じてメーカー修理を取り次ぐことも可能です。詳しい保証規定は購入ガイドの「保証について」をご確認ください。
How often do Cartier watches need to be serviced or have their batteries replaced?
Mechanical (automatic and manual winding) models are recommended to undergo an overhaul (disassembly and cleaning) every 3 to 5 years to maintain accuracy and water resistance. Quartz (battery-powered) models can maintain water resistance by replacing the battery when it runs out and by checking the gaskets every few years. With proper maintenance, these watches can be enjoyed for a lifetime, passed down through generations.
Since Cartier is so popular, isn't it easy to end up with the same item as someone else?
Cartier is a popular brand favored by many celebrities, so there's a chance of seeing someone else with the same watch. However, with its diverse collections such as Santos, Tank, Panthère, and Baignoire, and a wide range of sizes and materials, the probability of finding the exact same watch is low. By choosing the material (yellow gold, stainless steel, or combination), dial, and size, you can create a watch that truly reflects your personality.
カルティエの時計はゆきざきの決算セールなどで割引対象になりますか?
資産価値が安定している高級時計は大幅な値引きの対象になりにくいですが、ゆきざきの決算セールや特別フェアの期間中は、ポイントアップやショッピングローンの分割金利・手数料無料キャンペーンなどが適用される場合があり、通常よりも実質的にお得かつスマートにご購入いただけるチャンスがございます。最新の情報は特集・セール情報ページをご確認ください。
