Summary

  • Cartier released a smaller Santos de Cartier watch, echoing historical dimensions
  • It retains iconic design elements and introduces a sunray dial with a new quartz movement
  • The watch is offered in steel, steel with yellow gold and yellow gold versions

The iconic Santos de Cartier timepiece from Cartier is still progressing with its design. Recently, they’ve launched a compact version that measures 27mm across for the case and stands at 34.5 mm tall – dimensions that echo the watch’s past designs.

The compact Santos de Cartier watch reflects the adventurous essence of Alberto Santos-Dumont, a groundbreaking Brazilian aviator who inspired the original design of this timepiece by Cartier. The square outline and exposed screws have become a distinctive feature in this collection’s design.

This compact model preserves the essential design characteristics of larger Santos de Cartier timepieces, such as clean lines, sharp forms, and elegant details. These aspects also juxtapose with the rugged look of the exposed screws. The innovations in this piece include a dial featuring a sunray pattern and a high-endurance quartz movement that has been customized to fit the new case design.

This compact model comes in steel, gold-steel, and all-gold variations, each maintaining the same interchangeable design as its larger counterparts. You can choose between metal bracelets or calfskin straps on the non-precious versions, while the gold-only version is paired with an alligator strap. Both leather straps incorporate a classic ardillon buckle, complementing the watch’s sophisticated appearance.
