Product Introduction

The Santos de Cartier Large Automatic is a timeless icon that blends heritage, functionality, and refined elegance. Featuring the unmistakable square case, Roman numeral dial, and integrated stainless steel bracelet, this watch represents one of the earliest and most influential designs in wristwatch history—reinterpreted for modern daily wear.

Story Behind the Watch

Originally created in 1904 by Louis Cartier for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos became one of the world’s first purpose-built wristwatches, allowing pilots to read time while flying. The modern Santos de Cartier Large remains faithful to this pioneering spirit with its square case, exposed screws, Roman numerals, and blue sword-shaped hands, now paired with a durable 904L stainless steel construction and a reliable Japanese Miyota automatic movement for stable, everyday performance.

Style

Elegant yet confident, the Santos de Cartier Large Automatic embodies a perfect balance between classic sophistication and modern strength. The brushed and polished steel surfaces, integrated bracelet, and iconic square silhouette create a versatile watch that transitions effortlessly from professional settings to everyday wear, ideal for gentlemen who appreciate heritage with contemporary practicality.
