Cartier’s owner, Richemont, says the Maison maintained strong sales momentum and gained market share in 2025. It credits enhanced desirability, amplified by impactful communication. That is meaningful evidence of resilience—not proof that Cartier beats every competitor, or that one campaign caused its gains. Richemont does not disclose Cartier-only revenue in the results covered here.
What “winning” means in Cartier’s case
The clearest current evidence comes from Compagnie Financière Richemont SA’s FY26 Annual Report. It reports strong momentum and market-share gains for Cartier during 2025, but does not publish a Cartier-only sales total or quantify the contribution of design, marketing, or retail. The result supports calling Cartier resilient; it does not establish a universal ranking against other luxury brands.
That distinction matters when interpreting the group’s headline numbers. Richemont’s Jewellery Maisons segment combines Cartier with Buccellati, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Vhernier. Its FY26 sales were €16.5 billion, up 8% at actual exchange rates and 14% at constant exchange rates; operating profit was €5.0 billion, with a 30.5% margin. These are segment results, not Cartier’s revenue or margin. Richemont FY26 results
Why Cartier’s strategy may help it stay resilient
A recognizable design identity that is refreshed
Founded in 1847, Cartier is described by Richemont as a Maison distinguished by design, innovation, expertise, and mastery of craft. Those are the company’s own descriptions, not an independent brand ranking. Its 2025 activity shows how heritage can be paired with newness: familiar collections and product lines received new launches, campaigns, and creative direction rather than being presented as static legacy assets.

Product launches and communication reinforce one another
In October 2025, Cartier launched Love Unlimited jewellery with a 360-degree campaign. Richemont says the activation contributed to the collection’s growth. It also reports the High Jewellery collection En Équilibre, a new campaign direction for Panthère, record-breaking sales for the Panthère watch collection, and successful launches of Santos de Cartier novelties.
This supports a strategy of linking product activity with storytelling, but it does not reveal campaign return on investment or prove that advertising alone drove the market-share gain. The collection-level descriptions also come without unit counts or sales totals. Richemont FY26 Annual Report

Boutiques are part of the client proposition
Richemont describes new strategic boutiques in Tokyo and Seoul, airport locations, and renovations. It also says the focus is shifting from expansion toward network productivity, client experience, and operational excellence. These details show that Cartier’s strategy includes how customers encounter and are served by the brand, not only what it makes. They do not establish store-level sales productivity or prove that openings caused growth.
Why the comparison with struggling brands needs care
Luxury performance varies by product category, region, reporting period, and currency basis. Richemont’s own FY26 figures illustrate the split: its Specialist Watchmakers business area recorded €3.1 billion in sales, down 4% at actual exchange rates but up 1% at constant rates. This is a separate Richemont segment, not a stand-in for Cartier’s watch sales or for the whole watch industry.

The gap was sharper in FY25, when Richemont’s Jewellery Maisons grew 8% while Specialist Watchmakers sales fell 13%. The company identified Asia Pacific—particularly China, Hong Kong, and Macau—as the main drag on the watch segment. Cartier sells watches as well as jewellery, so this contrast provides category context; it does not show that every Cartier product or region avoided pressure. Richemont FY25 results
Broader market reporting also needs a time stamp. In 2025, The Associated Press reported Bain & Company’s estimate that personal luxury-goods sales reached €364 billion in 2024 and its projection of a 2%–5% decline in 2025. The same report described weaker consumer confidence, tariff uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and concerns about creativity amid sharp price rises, alongside divergent company results. That is useful context for the 2025 period, not a current forecast or a like-for-like comparison with Cartier’s fiscal-year results. The Associated Press’s report on Bain’s 2025 luxury-market study

The most defensible explanation
Cartier’s reported momentum appears to sit at the intersection of an established design identity, updates to recognizable collections, coordinated communication, and investment in boutique experience. Richemont explicitly connects Cartier’s desirability and impactful communication with its reported market-share gain, while also describing product and retail initiatives. The company does not isolate the effects of those factors, so this is a plausible strategic explanation—not a measured causal ranking.
For a watch buyer, the practical takeaway is narrower than “Cartier wins”: the brand’s watches remain part of a broader luxury proposition built alongside jewellery, design continuity, new releases, and brand communication. The evidence supports strong reported activity for Panthère and Santos during the period, but not a claim that every model, collection, or competitor performed the same way.
