"Story of" - Memories of Cartier creations

From Tokujin Yoshioka

The exhibition "Story of..." - Memories of Cartier creations successfully came to the end on May 31st.
Beyond all expectations, I am delighted to know that more than 120,000 people have visited the exhibition.

Cartier jewelries had been created through long history and grand tradition of their own creations. I hope you had an opportunity to experience the memories breathed in each work, which were presented at the exhibition.

With all the thoughtful messages you gave me, I would like to continue to create new things.
Some other interesting projects are planned to be launched in the upcoming years and I cannot wait to share them with you.

Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who have supported this exhibition.
