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 Cartier Santos Watch is crafted in 18ct yellow gold, with a 7-sided crown set with a faceted sapphire. Showcasing a silvered opaline dial, with blued steel sword-shaped hands, and is protected by sapphire crystal. Finished on an 18ct yellow gold bracelet, with smart link adjustment system. The watch comes with a second brown alligator strap, with an interchangeable 18ct yellow gold folding buckle. Both bracelets are fitted with the "Quickswitch" interchangeable system. This watch is powered by a mechanical movement with automatic winding. Water resistant up to 10 bar.
