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-Dumont and Santos de Moiselle ladies model.
This Santos de Cartier Dual Time watch is powered by a mechanical winding mechanism. The large 47.5mm x 40.2mm stainless steel case, which boasts a faceted synthetic blue spinel placed into a seven-sided crown. Its satin-finish anthracite grey sunray-brushed dial, is home to rhodium-finish polished steel sword-shaped hands with luminescent material, and a second time zone display with an additional hour hand and a day/night indicator. All protected by a sapphire crystal. This timepiece features two interchangeable bracelets, both with a "QuickSwitch'' mechanism installed. The first bracelet in steel features a “SmartLink” adjustment system, the second is a grey leather alligator strap with a steel folding buckle. This watch is water resistant up to 100 metres.
