Cartier Santos Dumont: A Perfect Blend of Tradition and Modernity
The newly released Cartier Santos Dumont watches come with three striking dial options: olive green, blue, and brown-gray. Each watch features a case crafted from precious materials such as platinum or 18k yellow gold, exuding luxurious elegance. The entire surface of the watch, from the dial to the bezel and case, is covered in hand-polished lacquer, paying homage to the refined aesthetics of the classic original.
The dial is highlighted by Arabic numerals designed to perfectly match the rounded corners, creating contrast and depth for the Santos Dumont. The iconic eight screws on the bezel remain a distinctive feature, symbolizing the mechanical steel structure in contemporary architecture. Inside the square, rounded case measuring 31.5 x 43.5mm is the ultra-thin Cartier 430MC mechanical movement, only 2.15mm thick, with a power reserve of up to 36 hours, wound via a ruby or sapphire-set crown.
Cartier Santos de Cartier Dual Time: A Symbol of Innovation
The Cartier Santos de Cartier Dual Time watch marks the impressive comeback of a classic design. Equipped with an automatic mechanical movement featuring a Dual-time function, this watch allows simultaneous display of two time zones.
The 40.2 x 47.5mm steel case of the Santos de Cartier Dual Time is designed with curved lugs and a contoured case, catering to modern consumer tastes. Unlike its minimalist predecessors, this version includes a sub-dial to display the second time zone, along with an intuitive day-night indicator at the 6 o’clock position. The primary time zone is indicated by sword-shaped hands and large Roman numerals coated with Super-LumiNova®, accompanied by a convenient date window at 3 o’clock. The watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement with a power reserve of up to 40 hours.
The Santos de Cartier Dual Time is not just a luxurious timepiece but also a symbol of the perfect blend between traditional design and modern functionality.
