Cartier has reimagined its iconic Santos de Cartier watch with a refined, petite update. The new version, with a 27mm case width and 34.5mm height, recalls the historical dimensions of the original design, staying true to the spirit of Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Brazilian aviation pioneer for whom the watch was created. The square shape and visible screws remain signature elements, now presented in a more compact size.
This updated Santos de Cartier model preserves the hallmark features of the larger timepieces in the collection, including clean lines, precise shapes, and refined details. The combination of these elements with the industrial aesthetic of the visible screws creates a striking balance of elegance and practicality. A new sunray-effect dial and high-autonomy quartz movement provide contemporary enhancements, ensuring optimal performance in this more compact design.
Available in Three Striking Versions
The new petite Santos de Cartier is offered in three versions: steel, steel with yellow gold, and yellow gold. The model retains the interchangeable strap options of its larger counterparts, including metal bracelets and calf leather straps. The non-precious metal versions feature a smooth calfskin strap, while the all-gold model comes with an alligator strap. Both leather strap options are fitted with an ardillon buckle, complementing the watch’s refined design.
Timeless Elegance in a Petite Form
With this new update, the Santos de Cartier maintains its status as a symbol of luxury, innovation, and pioneering spirit. The 27mm model provides a perfect blend of classic design and modern functionality, offering wearers a piece of history in a contemporary, wearable form.
