Louis Cartier, in 1904, granted the desire of the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont: to be able to tell time while flying. Then, history was made.
The rounded angles of the dial, the seamless curve of the horns, and the exposed screws made for an iconic watch that would inspire countless reinterpretations. Here we have a Santos de CARTIER.
This watch packs all of the above, featuring a classic Roman numeral layout and blue hands. The steel-and-gold look brings luxury vibes. You can rock it formally even though it’s not a traditional dress watch, or go sporty but not as casual as a Seamaster. Functional yet still attractive.
