I suddenly saw a suitcase with the English abbreviation JC, which was covered with stamps from all over the world. It seems that it has not been opened for a long time. In the end, I not only discovered the personal letters of Jean-Jacques' father Jacques and his brothers Louis and Pierre more than a century ago, but also learned more about Cartier's acquisition of exclusive jewelry by King and Queen, Tubang, Regal and film celebrities. after."
