Pre-owned Cartier Santos Dumont ref W2SA0028 (2023) pays tribute to one of the most important watches in the industry. In 1904, Louis Cartier created a wristwatch for his friend, Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who wanted a practical way to tell time while flying. The result was one of the world’s first men’s wristwatches and the foundation for what would become the Santos collection. While it shares the same heritage as the modern Santos de Cartier, the Santos-Dumont has a noticeably different aesthetic. Where the Santos de Cartier is more of a luxury sports watch category with its integrated bracelet, thicker case, and more robust construction, the Santos-Dumont embraces a slimmer, more elegant profile. It feels dressier, more refined, and closer in spirit to the original watch that inspired the collection over a century ago. Shop Cartier Watches Shop Cartier Santos De Cartier Watches
