Cartier

Cartier was founded in Paris in 1847, despite the uncertainty and disruption of the century's political upheavals. Cartier kept going strong and continued to see success and growth over the ensuing decade, and opened its first boutique in 1859. Cartier wanted to establish the company internationally, not only to make the Cartier name famous among the crowned heads of Europe, and was named "King of Jewellers, Jeweller of Kings." In 1904, Cartier launched their first Santos wristwatch, followed by other iconic wristwatches over the years.

Introduced in 1904, the Cartier Santos pays tribute to the Brazilian aviator with the same name, Alberto Santos-Dumont. The present Santos 100 showcases a handsome pink gold case enhanced with a silvered dial and roman numerals, furthermore secured by very stylish screws on the strap, lugs, and bezel, creating a very contemporary presentation which shines in all occasions. Includes Cartier box.
