Cartier Santos de Cartier Large Model Watch

Introducing the Cartier Santos de Cartier, Large Model—a blend of classic design and modern innovation. This exquisite timepiece features a mechanical movement with automatic winding, powered by the Caliber 1847 MC. The watch is housed in a steel case with a distinctive seven-sided crown, set with a faceted synthetic spinel, and is protected by a sapphire crystal.

The silvered opaline dial is elegantly complemented by blued-steel sword-shaped hands, enhancing both readability and style. The watch includes two interchangeable bracelets: a steel bracelet equipped with the “SmartLink” resizing system for easy adjustments and a luxurious calfskin strap with a steel double adjustable folding buckle. Both bracelets feature the “QuickSwitch” system for effortless interchangeability.

With a case width of 39.8 mm and a thickness of 9.08 mm, the Santos de Cartier is water-resistant up to 10 bar (approximately 100 meters), combining sophistication with practical durability.

This timepiece pays tribute to the 1904 creation by Louis Cartier for Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, designed to enable him to keep time while flying. Its iconic design—featuring rounded angles, seamlessly curved horns, and exposed screws—has inspired numerous reinterpretations and remains a testament to Cartier’s rich heritage.
