Product Overview
This lady's Swiss made Santos de CARTIER wristwatch is crafted in 18K yellow gold and has a square shaped ivory colour dial, black Roman numerals and blue tinted metallic hands. There is a sapphire crown and crystal, and the watch runs on quartz movement which means that it runs by battery. The case is numbered 8009115941. The watch is attached to an 18K yellow gold 5-row panthere bracelet with a double fold-over clasp, signed 'CARTIER'. The Santos watch was conceived by Louis Cartier in 1904 to help aviators tell time mid-flight and became the first modern watch designed to be worn on the wrist. Since then, this pioneering wristwatch has become an icon, defined by its signature design, with visible screws and a daring square silhouette. 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. Practicality. Innovation.
Cartier was founded in 1847 in Paris by the jeweller Louis-François Cartier, who in 1899 handed it over to his three sons and the company remained under family control until 1964. They would establish the company internationally, not least by making the Cartier name a favorite among the crowned heads of Europe. King Edward VII of Great Britain referred to Cartier as "the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers." Cartier International is a French luxury goods conglomerate which designs, manufactures, distributes, and sells jewellery and watches. Cartier is regarded as one of the most prestigious jewellery manufacturers in the world. Celebrities such as Kate Middleton, Angelina Jolie, Mindy Kaling, Anne Hathaway and Celine Dion have all been spotted wearing a Cartier watch.
