History of Cartier wristwatches began more than 100 years ago when the brand?s founder assembled his first wrist watch model for his friend. The friend of Cartier was the great Alberto Santos ? Dumont, so the timekeeper that was made from stainless steel got the name Santos. The 100th anniversary of Santos watch collection was celebrated with a fantastic novelty ? the Santos 100 watch model that astonishes by its perfection. Santos is justly considered to be one of the best Cartier models. There are many legends about the birth of this model that is known for its fantastic design and technical perfection. Since Dumont was a son of a millionare, he was one of the most well known persons in Paris. His unusual outfit and extravagant behavior always made him the center of attention. It is not comfortable for a pilot whose hands are always on wheel to take a timekeeper out of his pocket, so Dumont, being a pilot wanted to have an improved timepiece and he asked Cartier to create a good watch for a pilot.
Louis Cartier began developing the new timepiece. The result turned out to be really brilliant ? Louis Cartier managed to invent a professional wristwatch model for pilots. Santos immediately got a fantastic recognition not only with pilots, but with others as well. Today the Santos collection presents a fantastic range of watch models and each of these models is luxury itself. Cartier releases really antastic watches and their elegance amazes everyone. The new Santos 100 model looks peculiar thanks to its big case.
Though the watch is very big, it is known as an elegant watch and it is very much loved by fans. All other Cartier collections are also brilliant. All Cartier timepieces are luxurious, that is why it is so difficult to opt for one.
