Features
- A Legacy Built on Aviation and Friendship
The story behind the Santos de Cartier is as captivating as its design. In 1904, famed Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont expressed to his friend Louis Cartier the need for a wristwatch that would allow him to tell time easily while flying. Cartier answered with one of the world’s first wristwatches, thus the Santos was born. Its groundbreaking design, marked by rounded dial angles, a seamless curve of the horns, and exposed screws, set the standard that would inspire countless future reinterpretations. The 2025 pre-owned model, now available at Abt Electronics, is a direct heir to this remarkable legacy, retaining all the best qualities of the original with contemporary flair. - Distinctive Design and Superb Craftsmanship
