This is a pre loved vintage Cartier lighter with gold plate featuring a honey comb style engraved surface pattern.

With the Quartz Crisis taking an unprecedented toll on the Swiss watchmaking industry throughout the 1970s and 1980s, brands like Cartier had to think outside of the box in order to remain financially viable. Luckily for Cartier, they had just branched into lighters following a proposal from S.T. Dupont, the lighter-manufacturer, in the late 60s to sell Cartier-branded lighters under license. Such was the success that Cartier branched out in the early 1970s and began to sell perfumes, scarves and other accessories under the sub-brand called "Must de Cartier." While they might be known for watches and jewellery these days, it was the humble lighter like those that we have here that inevitably saved Cartier from financial ruin and allowed them to continue operating as they have over the decades, and so in a round-a-bout way, the Le Must de Cartier lighter is one of Cartier’s most important offerings.
