The "Santos" was the world's first practical wristwatch. The third generation Louis Cartier responded to a request from Alberto Santos-Dumont, a Brazilian-born millionaire. Alberto was a renowned aviator, and a pocket watch was not suitable for him to check the time while he was at the controls.
The latest "Santos" model is more sophisticated than any wristwatch, with a single line connecting the bezel and bracelet, while retaining the design of the originals, with its rounded square case and eight screws that are daringly exposed. The Prince of Wales (King Edward VII), "the jeweler of kings, and therefore the king of jewelers.CartierThe tribute to the "Mere Old Man" is all too well known, but his roots make the difference between him and himself.
In addition to the design, the functions have been updated in this edition . One is a quick switch for the strap changing system , and the other is a smart link for adjusting the length of the bracelet.
The key point is that each of these operations can be performed instantly without the use of tools, and this is the result of seeking sophistication not only in the watch itself but also in the owner's behavior.
