The Renowned Cartier Watches

  Brazilian tycoon Alberto Santos-Dumont was a famous adventurer at the beginning of this century, particularly obsessed with Cartier watches. He suggested to his good friend Louis François Cartier whether he could help him build a watch that could be strapped to the wrist to tell time, replacing bulky pocket watches. Cartier quickly completed the design; it was a thick gold-cased watch with lugs, and a square bezel fixed to the case with eight screws, pressing down and protecting the watch glass. By threading a silk strap or leather strap between the lugs, it could be strapped to the wrist.

　　Although this was only an attempt, Santos himself was already very satisfied and wore it to fly across the world. Cartier realised that this would be a major leap forward in the watchmaking industry, so he further refined the original design, developing the folding deployment clasp that remains popular to this day in 1910. A year later, after improvements, the Santos series equipped with leather straps and deployment clasps was officially launched on the market. It has been a global bestseller for over 80 years, recognised as the oldest and most enduring classic luxury watch, enjoying a high reputation in the industry. To this day, Santos is one of Cartier's highest-production series. And the most popular among replica watches isreplica Cartier Ballon Bleu。

　　The passage of time has not erased the traces of the original prototype watch,a replica Cartier watchretaining as always the thick bezel, eight screws, and the simple two-hand indication with Roman numeral hour markers are all retained, only becoming softer and smoother. The leather strap design also retains the folding clasp of that year, and the metal bracelet uses screw-connected link bracelets that integrate seamlessly with the watch body. The N factory also designed a circular case Santos watch. In addition to changing the exterior shape to circular, it still faithfully retains the screw-fixed bezel and other dial features. In terms of power, Santos has traditional manual-winding and automatic-winding models, novel quartz movements, and quartz chronographs.
