Santos de Cartier: New Elegance in Petite Size

The Santos de Cartier watch was created in 1904 from a specific request by aviator Alberto Santos Dumont , who wanted to be able to tell the time without taking his hands off the controls. From that pioneering idea was born the first truly modern wristwatch: a symbol of innovation that has stood the test of time without losing its strength, character, and charm. Today, Cartier - brand for which there is a large collection on Pisa 1940 - further broadens the horizons of this myth with a new model that reinterprets its origins: the Santos de Cartier small model .

A historic design yet more current than ever

Compact proportions ( 27 mm x 34.5 mm ), exposed screws, and a sunburst dial : the new Santos retains the spirit of the first models, but updates it with a refined essentiality. The design of the square case , with the iconic screws deliberately left visible, once again becomes the distinctive feature of an aesthetic capable of combining elegance and a mechanical soul. The high-powered quartz movement is perfectly integrated into the case, ensuring precision and ease of use.

Materials, details, unparalleled versatility

Available in three variations – the first in steel , the second in yellow gold and steel, and the third in solid yellow gold – the new Santos small model remains faithful to the collection's codes, playing with contrasts between pure lines, harmonious shapes, and precious details. Like the other models in the line, this one also comes with two interchangeable bracelets : one in metal and one in leather. The steel and steel-gold versions are accompanied by a smooth calfskin strap , while the yellow gold version has an alligator leather strap . Each bracelet is equipped with a pin buckle , designed to maintain aesthetic balance with the case.

A classic to live every day

Water-resistant to 30 meters and designed to be worn casually both for everyday wear and for special occasions, the new Santos de Cartier small model represents the consistent evolution of an icon. A watch that doesn't need to raise its voice to be noticed, and that is precisely why it captivates: with its compact size, its unique history, and its timeless aesthetic.
