In 1904, Louis Cartier designed a wristwatch for Alberto Santos-Dumont, a pioneer in the world of aviation whose only wish was to be able to read the time while in flight. Over one hundred years later, you can find this watch on the wrists of celebrities like Sebastian Stan, Pedro Pascal, and Jake Gyllenhaal. Louis Cartier proved that a timeless design will never go out of style.
Presents itself in brand new condition with no signs of wear. The beauty of the Santos lies within the simplicity of its high-end design. The white dial is the perfect canvas for the black glossy Roman hour numerals. The square case is stunning with its mix of high polish and brushed finish. At the center of the high-polish crown is a beautiful sapphire blue spinel that complements the blue hour, minute, and second hands.
Functions include hours, minutes, and seconds. To set the time of the watch, simply pull out the crown and rotate until you have reached the desired time. To give power reserve to the watch, keep the crown in the normal pushed-in position and turn clockwise.
Comes as a full set, double-boxed with warranty card, warranty book, instruction manual, white tag, brown leather strap, stainless steel clasp (for leather strap), and a bracelet tool.
With its luxurious design, prestigious history, and timeless style, it is no wonder why this is one of the most popular timepieces in the world. In another hundred years, celebrities and horology enthusiasts will still seek this watch, not because it is limited, not because it is a precious metal timepiece, but simply because it is a true timeless classic.
