The legendary Santos with a twist !
Description
A square case with an integrated bracelet, visible screws on the insert and on each link, a cabochon: these 3 elements are enough to immediately recognize the Santos!
In its curved version, here the reference 1567, its case is slightly curved, which makes it particularly pleasant on the wrist. It sits on top and follows its shape.
If you think this watch is only sporty with its integrated steel bracelet, you may rethink your opinion. Its small size and above all the traditional white Cartier dial with Roman numerals make it a watch that remains elegant!
Why did Françoise choose it?
This Cartier Santos is truly perfect for daily wear. This is the most common version, where gold mixes with steel. A watch that goes easily for every day. An essential model in the Cartier repertoire. It is emblematic, both from a historical and stylistic point of view. A pleasant and practical piece, timeless and discreet.
In all the Santos that Françoise has had the chance to wear on her wrist, the Lady Galbée wins the comfort competition hands down! Its slightly curved bottom and its small size fit the wrist perfectly. If it wasn't a Cartier, you might end up forgetting you're wearing it!
History
Like the Tank, the Santos is one of Cartier's legendary models. It was designed in 1904 by Louis Cartier for his aviator friend Alberto Santos-Dumont. A pioneering watch, not only for aviation but also in the history of watchmaking: it is the first men's wristwatch. In the 1980s, the range split between the Santos Dumont, which remained faithful to the original design, and the Santos, which gained in modernity thanks to its integrated bracelet. Even today, the Cartier Santos is available in different versions, and continues to enjoy undeniable success!
