Inaugurated in 1985 on the frozen lake of St Moritz in Switzerland, the replica Cartier Roadster Polo World Cup on Snow is celebrating, this year, the 25th anniversary of an exceptional tournament that is one of the most long-awaited international sporting events of the season.
Cartier Polo World Cup on Snow, 2008 Edition
Polo on snow, a true success story
Here, as in Windsor, Jaipur or even Dubai, replica Cartier Pasha plays host in the most privileged sense of the term as a sponsor of this elite sport, which simultaneously requires team spirit, agility, reactivity, passion and a taste for excellence. Cartier upholds these values to such an extent that it believed in the possibility of this sport being played on snow over 25 years ago. As part of this highly original venture, the company commissioned the creation of special horseshoes that would offer the horses a better grip. The success of this event endorses Cartier’s enthusiasm for polo on snow – a sport that reflects a certain lifestyle for which Cartier remains a pioneer.
ST. MORITZ/SWITZERLAND, 26JAN08 - Christophe Massoni (FLTR, Cartier Switzerland), Tom Meggle (Cartier Europe), Adriano Agosti, Monica Bellucci, Bernard Fornas (CEO Cartier Internationa), Marcos Di Paola, Guillermo Terrera and Jose Donoso at the 24nd Cartier Polo World Cup on Snow in St. Moritz/Switzerland, Saturday 26, 2008
The Maillet d’Or, a symbolic trophy
Genuine jousting events on snowy terrains, these entertaining and exceptional fixtures have inspired Cartier to create a special anniversary trophy. For this 25th anniversary of the Cartier Polo World Cup on Snow in St Moritz, Cartier has created the Maillet d’Or, a new trophy for which rival teams will compete each winter in the renowned ski resort. A fine example of jewellery craftsmanship, Cartier’s Maillet d’Or pays tribute to the vitality and elegance of polo through both the precious nature of its noble materials and the vigour of its powerful design. This prestigious trophy will fuel the passion of all enthusiasts of this exceptional sport.
