The design of the Santos de Cartier watch epitomizes Cartier watchmaking, drawing on the concept of form, a taste for minimalism, the precision of proportions and finally, an eye for detail. Simplicity. Since 1904, the design of the Santos de Cartier watch has been reinvented according to the times.
