Cartier is a brand with a long, rich history. Founded in 1847 in Paris by Louis-François Cartier, the luxury company has been manufacturing watches and jewellery for royalty and aristocracy alike, as such they’re considered to be “the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers”.
The Cartier Santos collection is just as rich. Launched in 1911 to the public, the range immediately became one of Cartier’s most popular and iconic, which continues to this day.
Cartier Santos-Dumont Small Quartz Watch
If you’re looking for a fashionable, precise, and durable piece for everyday wear (or to take to a special occasion), this watch is an excellent option for ladies.
The small, 27mm steel and 18K gold case offers a lovely contrast to the silver satin-brushed dial with sunray effect, and the iconic Roman numerals – as well as blue synthetic cabochon-shaped spinel – add that elegant touch that Cartier watches are known for. Other classic Cartier design choices include the blue-steel sword-shaped hands.
The movement consists of self-winding automatic quartz, protected by durable and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and the piece is also water-resistant up to 30 metres.
This Cartier Santos-Dumont Small Quartz watch can be purchased for £4,600 at Banks Lyon or from £69 per month at 0% finance.
The Cartier Santos-Dumont watches are immediately recognisable for their square face and visible screws that resemble the rivets on an aircraft, as well as a large bezel and a case that incorporates the lugs without pins.
Another thing to consider is the SmartLink and QuickSwitch features introduced in 2018 when the collection underwent an overhaul. These elements bring something different to the table and allow the watchmaker to offer more flexibility and versatility when it comes to the piece they manufacture.
The SmartLink system allows you to resize the bracelet so it can fit perfectly and adapt to any situation or occasion. You don’t actually need to separate any individual links, which means you won’t be at risk of losing any of them! The QuickSwitch feature makes it easier for you to change the look of your watch, which is ideal if you’re looking for a day-to-night look or if you want your piece to be water-resistant, for example.
Suitable for anyone seeking a companion for their everyday adventures, the collection is the perfect blend of fashion, functionality and precision.
