The Cartier Santos, born in 1904, holds a pioneering legacy in watchmaking. Originally created by Louis Cartier for his aviator friend Alberto Santos-Dumont, this timepiece was designed for practicality and style.

Its distinctive square case with exposed screws and a clean dial exemplified a blend of function and elegance.
Over the decades, the Cartier Santos has evolved while maintaining its iconic features. It has become a symbol of Cartier’s commitment to innovation and timeless design. The collection expanded to include various models, materials, and movements, catering to diverse tastes. The Santos remains a testament to Cartier’s dedication to crafting enduring timepieces that transcend fashion, making it a horological classic and a symbol of aviation history.
