About the Santos de Cartier

The Santos de Cartier, made in 1904 for famous aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, remains a trailblazing watch in both design and innovation. Its square case, available in stainless steel, 18K yellow gold, rose gold or a mix of both gold types, has visible screws highlighting its remarkable design. The dial, available in classic silver, black or sunray-finished options, is framed by a gorgeous bezel that can also be diamond-set. The Santos collection includes chronograph models with sub-dials and pushers, plus options with date windows at 3 or 6 o’clock, along with design options on sunray or guilloché patterns in various sizes and styles, with some models even featuring skeletonized dials. The watch is powered by in-house automatic movements, with special editions offering manual winding. Its curved case and QuickSwitch strap system ensure a comfortable, versatile fit.
