One of the most storied and instantly recognizable watches in horological history, the Cartier Santos de Cartier Large traces its roots to 1904, when Louis Cartier designed the very first purpose-built wristwatch for his friend, aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont. Today's modern interpretation honors that legacy through its signature exposed screws, bold Roman numeral dial, and seamlessly integrated steel bracelet — an icon of design excellence that remains as relevant and coveted as ever.
