COMMENT
シルバー色が凛とした冷たさをまとい、リューズと針の青が映える、美しいカルティエ。サントスにおいて自動巻、白いエナメル文字盤はこの世代だけではないでしょうか。すでに生産の終了した8角形の「オクタゴン」は今だ根強い人気を博しています。サントスはブレスレットとベゼルがビスで彩られた、カルティエの個性を象徴するデザインです。平面カットされたブレスレットは陽光でキラキラと輝き、良質なバングルを着けているようです。
ヴィンテージカルティエのエナメル質なダイヤルは、気にこそならないものの軽度のクラックが入りやすいことで知られています。こちらは希少なノンクラックです。市場に出ているほとんどの個体がクラック有りと言っても過言ではない中、このような状態のものは大きなアドバンテージとなります。針も発色の良いブルーを保っています。ケースは未仕上げですが小傷のみで、お仕事などでスーツに合わせても違和感なくお楽しみいただけます。
このモデルの源流は貴族の飛行士に由来します。オールシルバーのケースはよりスポーツ感の強い洗練されたデザインですので、カルティエのスポーティーエレガンスの世界を味わっていただきたいです
BRAND
1900年代、飛行士サントス・デュモンが飛行中に時刻を確認できるようカルティエにオーダーしたのが「サントス」の始まり。そのサントスのなかでも八角形型モデル「サントスオクタゴン」は、平面上にカットが入ったブレスが、腕を動かす度にキラキラと煌めきます。シンプルながらもエレガントな印象を与えるモデルです。
HIGHLIGHT
No Crack, Steel Octagon
COMMENT
A beautiful Cartier featuring a striking combination of silver and blue hues, with the cool silver exuding a poised coldness while the blue crown and hands stand out. The automatic movement and white enamel dial in this Santos model are unique to this generation. The now-discontinued octagonal "Octagon" model continues to enjoy enduring popularity. The Santos' design, characterized by a bracelet and bezel adorned with screws, epitomizes Cartier's distinctiveness. The flat-cut bracelet sparkles in sunlight, resembling a high-quality bangle.
Vintage Cartier enamel dials are known to develop minor cracks over time, even though this does not significantly affect their appeal. This particular piece is rare in that it has no cracks, a significant advantage considering most market examples have some. The hands retain their vibrant blue color. Although the case is unpolished, it only has minor scratches, making it suitable for pairing with a suit for work without any discomfort.
The origins of this model trace back to a noble aviator. The all-silver case presents a refined design with a strong sports feel, inviting you to experience the world of Cartier's sporty elegance.
BRAND
The "Santos" originated in the 1900s when aviator Santos-Dumont requested a watch from Cartier that he could check while flying. Among the Santos models, the octagonal "Santos Octagon" stands out with its flat-cut bracelet that glitters with every movement of the wrist. This model combines simplicity with elegance, creating a sophisticated impression.
