Characterized by its square case with rounded corners, it became one of the earliest examples of non-traditional watch design. Released to the public in 1911, the Santos has evolved over the years while retaining its distinctive features. Worn by celebrities and influential figures, it symbolizes luxury and sophistication. The Santos de Cartier collection, with its various models and materials, showcases continuous innovation and timeless elegance, solidifying its status as an iconic and historic timepiece in the world of horology.
