About the Santos de Cartier
Created in 1904 by Louis Cartier for his friend, aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos is widely regarded as one of the first true wristwatches, with exposed screws and squared corners that broke every convention of the era. The 2018 relaunch added the QuickSwitch interchangeable strap system and the SmartLink adjustable bracelet to the large and medium sizes, with the lacquered black ADLC or silvered dials carrying the Roman numerals of the original. It is aviation’s first watch, still evolving.
