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 launched a t.mes
piece that could be worn on the wrist, naming it after the close friend, Alberto Santos-Dumont. This marked the origin of the Santos watch. At that t.mes
, what was referred to as a wristwatch was merely a makeshift solution essentially a pocket watch strapped to the wrist, with the crown still positioned at the 12 o'clock mark! However, Santos's groundbreaking design moved the crown to the 3 o'clock position, featuring a natural spinel set on the winding crown, whose enchanting blue glow continues to captivate countless consumers to this day.Today, we present the latest upgraded version of the Santos from 2018, featuring a brand-new quick-release mechanism that requires no tools. With a simple press, you can easily detach the strap by hand. This patented technology is truly unique, with a 40mm case diameter, equipped with an imported movement, a sapphire crystal, and 100 meters of water resistance. The images displayed are of a top-quality replica taken in real-life shooting!
