One of the most renowned timepieces in the world, and the first true wristwatch, the Cartier Santos has enjoyed a long history and a solid reputation as not only an accurate, attractive and durable timepiece but also as a model playing a key role in horology history.
Cartier Santos 100 Carbon in Pink Gold Watch
From the moment Santos Dumont was seen with his new timepiece during his famed flight around the Eiffel Tower in 1904, the Cartier Santos has been admired and desired by timepiece enthusiasts everywhere.
The Cartier Santos has had a number of updates in the many years it has been available, and the one of the most recent and popular of these is the Cartier Santos 100 model. A modern, sporty design alteration from the original, the timepiece has the classic square case with rounded corners but the modern touch of the largest model being larger at 38mm. The 100 model comes in both quartz and automatic movements, and the wide selection of design and colour choices means that there will be a choice for everyone.
The easily legible face with its unusual, classically Santos slanted Roman numerals at the hour markers has changed little over the years, much to the delight of fans of the Santos. A particularly attractive version of the Cartier Santos 100 is the 100 XL in rose gold and black rubber with a black jewel cabochon, in which the hues of the case and hour markers blend with each other perfectly, providing a luxurious looking contrast to the black.
