Primary Evidence

"So strict was the secrecy surrounding the deal that Rupert’s name does not even appear in books written about Cartier at the time. It was merely mentioned that ‘another group of investors’ acquired Cartier New York in 1976, and that Cartier Monde was established in 1979 as a result of a merger of the groups that owned the houses in Paris, London and New York."

"The finalisation of the American takeover in 1979 saw the creation of Cartier Monde as a reunified, worldwide company. Apart from the original three houses in Paris, London and New York and the Les Must de Cartier boutiques, the firm by this time had shops in Cannes, Monte Carlo, Munich, Palm Beach and Tokyo. Hocq and Rupert amalgamated their interests in an umbrella holding company."
