This is a review of the Cartier Santos 100 Carbon watch collection, by Charlotte.
In 2009, Cartier is releasing a brand new range of watches, to add to the Santos de Cartier range. The new Santos 100 Carbon watches by Cartier boast black dials and sapphire crystals and an impressive water resistance to 100m. Cartier have been manufacturing watches for more than 150 years, which started famously with the friendship between the Brazilian aeronaut Alberto Santos Dumont and Louis Cartier himself, bringing to life the original Cartier Santos collection of watches.
Launched this month (June 2009), the Santos 100 Carbon Chronograph in plate steel (model number W2020008) possesses a satin finish titanium case and a luxurious black toile de voile strap for extra comfort. The mechanical movement of this Cartier watch is an automatic winding Calibre 8630, and the matte finish titanium bezel Roman numerals. Following the current design of the Santos 100, the Santos 100 Carbon is chronograph with date. With its sword shaped hands and titanium push buttons, this Carbon 100 is a more fashion conscious development of the Santos 100, still appropriate for the office, but now equally appropriate for casual wear.

Also launched this month, the large model of the Cartier Santos 100 watch, with titanium (model number W2020010), is almost identical to the Chronograph model in style, with its sword shaped hands and roman numerals, of which all 12 are shown on this Santos 100. However, this Carbon watch operates using the Cartier Calibre 049 movement. This Cartier watch is much more traditional and would make a monumental addition to any watch collection, as well as being a unique every day time keeper.
Finally for the ladies, the medium Santos 100 Carbon watch in pink gold (model number W2020007) is feminine and charming, and with its black toile brossee strap and Calibre 076 movement, this Cartier watch is magnificently eye catching. It also features a pink gold bezel and the Roman numerals in also in pink gold. The pink gold is created by a special blending of other elements in the alloy to achieve the desired shade. Coloured gold is becoming very fashionable at the moment, bringing me to think that this particular Cartier watch is going to be swiftly added to many collections when it is released for sale in November 2009!
