The Cartier Santos de Cartier watch can be considered the world's first true wristwatch, with a history spanning over a century. In 1904, Cartier introduced a watch designed to be worn on the wrist, named after the close friend Santos-Dumont, which is the origin of the Santos watch. At that t.mes
, what was referred to as a wristwatch was merely a makeshift solution, where pocket watches were strapped to the wrist, with the crown still positioned at the 12 o'clock mark! Santos's groundbreaking design placed the crown at the 3 o'clock position and featured a natural spinel set in the crown, with its deep blue glow captivating countless consumers to this day. Today, we present the latest upgraded version of the Santos from 2018, featuring a brand new quick-release system that requires no tools; with just a gentle press, you can easily detach the strap. This patented technology is unique, with a case diameter of 40mm, equipped with an imported movement, a sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance. The images shown are of a top-quality replica!
