In 1904, Louis Cartier granted Brazillian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont's wish of being able to tell the time while flying, giving birth to one of the first wristwatches for men - the iconic Santos de Cartier Watch. The Santos de Cartier is a watch that is eternally embedded in the history of timepieces and has left a lasting impact on the 21st-century watchmaking culture. Now, more than a century later, it has inspired so many new reiterations of the Santos de Cartier, influencing many other brands as well. This particular Santos de Cartier ref. WGSA0028 exhibits a Calibre 1847 MC No Date, with a power reserve of up to 42hrs. Encased in stainless steel, white dial, and finished with a stainless steel bracelet, the watch complements its features perfectly. Whilst the design of this watch is not over the top, its elegance is in its simplicity and history. It does not try to accomplish too much, yet it feels imperative. To own a Cartier De Santos ref. WGSA0028 is to own a piece of heritage - and that heritage is the history of watches.
