According to Cartier, it is the portrait of a modern man and the product of experimentation by two visionaries and friends, Louis Cartier and Alberto Santos-Dumont. Of course, we’re talking about the Cartier Santos Galbee. The first purpose-designed, modern wrist watch that was created after pioneer of aviation Alberto Santos-Dumont complained about his difficulty checking the time on his pocket watch while flying. This distinctive piece was made by Cartier in the year 2000. The watch has a case size of 29 by 41 mm. The case, bezel and the characteristic ‘screwed’ bracelet are made out of stainless steel and yellow gold. This Santos’ dial design is not exactly the one we are familiar with when we’re talking about Cartier: it's silver/grey with 18k yellow-gold applied Roman numerals and a date aperture at the 6-hour position. It makes the watch a bit more special than the regular white dial Santos. Between the watch’s crown guards we’ll find the exquisite blue sapphire crown that definitely completes this iconic Cartier masterpiece. Cartier has undoubtedly made some major mistakes in the modern ‘supersized’ Santos model line but thanks to this magnificence we’ll definitely forgive them.
