The Santos de Cartier is one of the most iconic watches from the brand. Dating back to 1904, it was built for the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who wore it on his pioneering flights. This makes it one of the first tool wristwatches (and likely the first aviation watch) ever produced. Configured with a silvered opaline dial featuring the brand’s classic Roman numerals, each timepiece comes with an extra strap option that allows users to modify this classic timepiece to suit their varying needs.
Established in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier after inheriting his mentor’s workshop, Cartier has grown to become one of the most prestigious jewelry manufactures in the world. Cartier’s notable ventures into watchmaking include one of the world’s first modern wristwatches, the Santos de Cartier, the iconic Cartier Tank, and one of the first water-resistant watches ever created, the Cartier Pasha.
