Santos de Cartier – The Santos collection is one of Cartier’s most sought after and beloved collections. With its geometric lines, clean design and technical innovation, the Santos watch reconciles classicism with a pioneering spirit.
Elegance is its obsession.
Simplicity, practicality and innovation were the three main principles dear to pioneering aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. Created in 1904, the Santos was modern before its time and it was thanks to Santos-Dumont that cartier created a wristwatch to enable him to read the time whilst flying, without having to let go of the controls to check his pocket watch.
The unique shape, attention to detail and precise proportions meant it could evolve with the times; today, two new interpretations have been designed.
Santos Watches.
With its tapered lines and optimal ergonomics, the Santos watch is a leading icon of Cartier’s design culture. An emblematic collection in a constant state of renewal, Santos allows for the most audacious colour in its all-steel version.
The Bold colours of the Santos Watch.
Cartier has expanded its chromatic spectrum and dared to include a deep green dial, in addition to their navy blue one. This is the mantle taken up by these new versions, whose iridescent dials radiate with graduated colours and a metallic shine. Everything is coated in a thin layer of tinted lacquer, applied by hand. Its finesse and transparency bring lustre, texture and depth to the colours.
Available in two sizes, large and medium, all watches are equipped with an 1847MC automatic movement and two interchangeable straps in steel and alligator, which can be easily swapped thanks to Cartier’s patent-pending QuickSwitch system.
