Known for its distinctive square cases and timeless appeal, the Cartier Santos has been captivating watch enthusiasts for generations. It’s one of the most iconic watches in the world, worn by royalty and a raft of Hollywood’s biggest stars.


The watch was originally created in 1904 for the Brazilian aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont. He needed to tell the time while in control of his light aircraft, and constantly retrieving his pocket watch proved inconvenient and highly dangerous.


After sharing his predicament with his friend Louis Cartier, grandson of the company’s founder, Cartier went about creating one of the world’s earliest wristwatches, delighting Santos-Dumont with a one-off model within a few weeks of their conversation.


What was significant about the Santos watch is that it was designed from the very beginning to be worn on the wrist, rather than adapted from a pocket watch. By 1911 it was being marketed commercially, helping to pave the way for men to wear wristwatches—until then regarded as a feminine accessory called a “wristlet”.


Several distinctive features set the Santos apart, from the signature square case design to the exposed screws on the bezel. This industrial touch added a modern and masculine aesthetic to the timepiece, while also serving as a functional element. The dial’s Roman numeral hour markers are a signature Cartier feature found throughout its collections.


Another distinctive feature of Cartier Santos watches is the cabochon crown. This small but significant detail adds a touch of sophistication and luxury to the timepiece. The gemstone is a symbol of Cartier's attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship, elevating the overall aesthetic of the watch.


The movements used in the Santos collection are quartz, manual-wind or automatic, depending on the model. Stunning skeleton dial versions expose the beautiful movement beneath the crystal, while it’s available not only in steel but also gold or even platinum, enhancing its luxury appeal.


Over the years, the Cartier Santos has undergone several transformations, yet it has maintained its distinctive features. From the introduction of new materials to the incorporation of innovative movements, each iteration of the Santos has pushed the boundaries of watchmaking.


One of the key reasons to choose a Cartier Santos watch is its investment value. Over the years, the Santos has generally proven to be a solid investment, with its resale value remaining high. This is due not only to the brand's prestigious reputation but the timeless nature of the Santos design.


Whether you are a watch collector or simply looking for a timepiece that will hold its value, a Cartier Santos watch is an excellent choice. At Watchfinder, you’ll find a diverse collection of pre-owned Cartier Santos watches today, and at a wide range of price points.
