Cartier first released the Santos to the public in 1911 after initially being designed in 1904 for Louis Cartier's friend Alberto Santos-Dumont.
As stated by Cartier alongside their current line-up, the signature design of the Santos with its 'visible screws and a daring square silhouette, has adapted effortlessly to the times since its creation – while staying true to the watch's boundary-breaking inspiration.' The Santos Dumont model is more compact and slim compared to the standard Santos model, making it a perfect choice for dressier occasions.
