The Cartier Santos de Cartier watch can be considered the world's first true wristwatch, boasting a history of over a century. In 1904, Cartier introduced a watch that could be worn on the wrist, naming it after his close friend, Alberto Santos-Dumont. This is 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 attached to the wrist, with the crown still positioned at 12 o'clock! Santos' groundbreaking design moved the crown to the 3 o'clock position and adorned the push piece with a natural spinel, whose enchanting blue glow continues to captivate countless consumers to this day.Today, we present the latest upgraded version of the Santos from 2018. It features a brand new technology upgrade with a quick-release mechanism that requires no tools; just a gentle press with your hands will allow you to remove the strap. This patented technology is unique, with a 40mm case diameter, equipped with an imported movement, a sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance. The images shown are of a top-quality replica!
