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.
Cartier Santos timepiece produced in a 39.8mm case, crafted from stainless steel and ADLC featuring a grey dial with roman numerals, a stainless steel and ADLC bezel, steel sword-shaped hands with luminescent material, a date window at 6 o'clock and a steel crown set with a black faceted synthetic spinel. Powered by a mechanical movement with automatic winding, this model is presented on a steel bracelet with "SmartLink" adjustment system and a second strap in black rubber, with a steel interchangeable deployant buckle. Both bracelets are equipped with the "QuickSwitch" interchangeability system. Water resistant up to 30m/100feet. This watch has a power reserve of 40 hours.
Case thickness: 9.38mm.
