The Origins of the 21 Must de Cartier

The “Must de Cartier” line did not arise from a desire for luxury, but from a need for innovation. In the 1970s, Cartier — like many other Swiss watchmakers — faced the Quartz Crisis: mechanical movements rapidly lost ground to inexpensive, accurate quartz technology. At the same time, the rising price of precious metals like gold made Cartier’s core models attractive but unaffordable to a broader audience.

After the success of the Tank Must, several models followed, including the Must de Cartier 21 in 1986. Featuring a round case and distinguished Roman numerals, this model blended classic Cartier elements with modern flair and versatility. Stylistically, it fit seamlessly with the original Tank Must while adding extra character and comfort.

Why Choose the Must de Cartier 21

The 1340 model belongs to this collection: quartz movement, steel/gold two-tone case, round 28 mm diameter, and a silver dial with Roman numerals. This makes the design instantly recognisable — not as a derivative, but as an independent interpretation of Cartier’s heritage.

-Turning crisis into opportunity: Cartier responded to the Quartz paradox by making quality more accessible.

-Sub-brand success: Les Must de Cartier brought luxury to new customers and revitalised the brand.

-Iconic design: Tank Must and later models, including the 21 series, have become evergreen classics.

-Strategic success: Massive shift in production volume and a significant rise in brand visibility.
