Cartier Santos 2961

Cartier is renowned for its jewelry but also boasts a rich history in watchmaking. In 1888, Cartier began crafting ladies wristwatches at a time when traditional pocket watches were more commonly chosen by men. In 1904, Louis Cartier presented a watch to his good Brazilian friend, Santos Dumont, an aviation pioneer, to wear during his flights, as he complained about the impracticality of using a pocket watch while flying. The Cartier Santos-Dumont became not only the first watch for men but also the first true pilot's watch.

This Cartier Santos is in exquisite condition. The watch has dimensions of 29 x 41 mm, making it the perfect medium size for both men and women. The screw-down bezel and integrated bracelet, which show no signs of stretching given its age, are crafted in 18K yellow gold. The clasp features the iconic "C" Cartier logo. The automatic movement has undergone a service. This stunning Cartier Santos comes with a 1-year warranty from 10 over 10.

Cartier

In 1847, Louis-François Cartier took over his master's jewelry workshop. Over the years, his sons and grandsons inherited the family business, opening stores in London and New York. In 1904, Cartier was even bestowed with the title of "jeweler to kings and king of jewelers" by King Edward VII of the United Kingdom. Cartier's popularity grew to such an extent that royal warrants poured in from all over the world.
