KENNETH GOH looks into the development, mastery and skill that go into Cartier's Trinity 100 collection as he savours the best of the best at the Maison's headquarters in Paris.
PHYSICAL 100

It's not eve t's not every day you get to celebrate a centennial birthday much less an indulgent four days luxuriating in the best restaurants, museums and spaces that Paris has to offer. But I did just that when Cartier brought me up to the City of Lights to commemorate its Trinity 100 collection. This party marked the culmination of a three-part launch that started in New York, followed by London and finally Paris. All locations were chosen to mark the Maison's iconic stores (and the three Cartier brothers) on Fifth Avenue, New Bond Street and Rue de la Paix. The evening event was headlined by Sia, Labrinth and Diplo, following a performance by dance collective, La Horde.

The next day, as I contemplated the previous night's revelry. I decided to look into the storied history of Cartier's Trinity ring. Created in 1924, this iconic piece of jewellery has transcended time, embodying the essence of Cartier's most cherished values for a century now. It's a world where diversity, love, and creativity are unified in the intertwining of yellow, rose and white gold rings.

Conceived by Louis Cartier, the Trinity ring defied conventions of its time, becoming the cornerstone of Cartier's design ethos. Rooted in the history of the three Cartier brothers and their iconic boutiques in Paris, London, and New York, Trinity embodies the essence of unity and universality.
