Cartier Santos de Cartier Watches

Although the timepiece was truly a quantum leap in the aviation industry, Alberto Santos-Dumont- a Brazilian aviator and inventor, was not fully contented with the design of the Santos de Cartier Pocket watch. For accuracy, yes, it was incredibly remarkable. But, the suspending chain which required one to have it in the pockets was essentially unreliable and impractical during flights. Although the aviator was a friend to Louis Cartier - the grandson of the firm’s founder. Louis considered Santo as one of their staunch consumers, and used his feedback to develop the first Cartier mens watch in 1911. A version for the Santos de Cartier Collection which was not only appreciated by aviator Santos, but by many other consumers of the collection as well.

After the death of Pierre (Louis’ 2nd brother who managed Cartier’s subsidiary in New York) in 1964. The close relatives who were left to continue running Cartier Jeweler as a family business decided to have it sold. After noticing the fondness of the men to the Santos de Cartier watch Collection, the new owners of the Cartier company decided to give it an extra elegance. In 1978, the first refined luxury Cartier Santos, featuring gold and steel bracelet, was created. Since then, the timepiece kept on undergoing improvement until 2016 when the 2009 Cartier Santos 100 ADLC was relaunched.

During the SIHH 2018, a new model of the Cartier Santos watch was, yet again, introduced, beguiling the Collection’s esteemed fans who will now enjoy the Cartier watch in steel. In the introduced model, different versions of the Cartier Santos were featured, both medium and the large size. In the medium-sized versions, the new watches were automatic but with no date function. Whereas the Large size came bearing both the date and automatic movement. To improve its beauty further, Carter introduced the model of the large Santos de Cartier watches with a skeleton dial as well. Allowing the wearer to enjoy the seamless harmony of the Automatic caliber.
