The Cartier Santos de Cartier watch can be considered the world's first true wristwatch, boasting a history of over a century. In 1904, Cartier launched a watch that could be worn on the wrist, naming it after his close friend, Alberto Santos-Dumont, which is the origin of the Santos watch. At that time, what were referred to as wristwatches were merely makeshift timepieces-essentially pocket watches strapped to the wrist, with the crown still positioned at the 12 o'clock mark! However, Santos pioneered a design that placed the crown at the 3 o'clock position, adorned with a natural spinel that continues to captivate countless consumers with its enchanting blue glow. Today, we present the latest upgraded 2018 model of the Santos, featuring a brand-new quick-release mechanism that requires no tools-simply press gently by hand to detach the strap. This patented technology is one of a kind, with a case diameter of 40mm, equipped with the original SW200 movement, sapphire glass, and 100m water resistance. It comes in the latest black box from the official store, making it a perfect gift for personal use or to give to others.
