In 1904, Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont approached his longtime friend Louis Cartier to complain of being unable to read the time on his pocket watch whilst flying. Together they embraced the challenge and designed the Cartier Santos, often thought of as the “worlds first ever wristwatch”. The Santos timepiece challenges mainstream design, thanks to its unorthodox square shape, exposed screws and practical feeling. Over the course of a century, countless reinterpretations of this timepiece have been spotted on the world’s most famous wrists, including the Santos Galbee and Santos de Moiselle ladies model.
The Santos-Dumont de Cartier watch celebrates the traditional Santos de Cartier style with contemporary updates including alligator leather straps, lacquer dials and a quartet of metal options including stainless steel, rose gold, yellow gold and platinum.
This Cartier Santos timepiece is produced in a 35.1mm case, crafted from steel and 18ct yellow gold featuring a silvered opaline Roman numeral dial with blued steel hands and a 18ct yellow gold bezel. Powered by an automatic movement, this model is presented on a steel bracelet with yellow gold screw detail and folding clasp. The bracelet has SmartLink adjustment system. The watch comes with a second bracelet in calfskin, with interchangeable steel folding buckle. Both bracelets are fitted with the QuickSwitch interchangeability system. The thickness is 8.83mm. This watch has a power reserve of 40 hours.
