Hollywood Gems sells the Cartier Santos from Los Angeles, including the Santos de Cartier in medium and large and the slimmer Santos-Dumont, with fully insured delivery across the United States. The Santos is Cartier's square watch with screws set into the bezel, first made in 1904 for the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. Price on request: call (323) 991-9697.
Which Santos models does Hollywood Gems handle?
Santos de Cartier
The current sports Santos, relaunched in 2018, on a steel or gold bracelet with the screws exposed on bezel and links. Large references such as the WSSA0018 measure about 39.8mm across; medium references such as the WSSA0029 about 35.1mm.
Santos-Dumont
A thinner, dressier Santos on a leather strap, closer in proportion to the 1904 original. Made in small and large sizes, in steel and in gold.
Santos 100 and Santos Galbée
Earlier Santos lines, no longer in production. The Santos 100 is the larger, bolder model from 2004; the Galbée has a gently curved case. Both are sourced on request.
Medium or large Santos?
As a rough guide, wrists under about 6.5 inches suit the medium and larger wrists suit the large. The square case runs straight into the bracelet, so a Santos wears bigger than a round watch of the same width. Send a wrist measurement with the enquiry and Hollywood Gems will advise on the size.
What are QuickSwitch and SmartLink?
QuickSwitch lets the owner swap the Santos de Cartier bracelet for a strap without tools, and SmartLink lets the bracelet be lengthened or shortened by hand. Both arrived with the 2018 relaunch. Ask whether a specific watch comes with its extra strap.
Is the Santos a good everyday Cartier?
Yes, for most buyers. The Santos de Cartier pairs a steel bracelet with a sapphire crystal and 100 metres of water resistance, which suits daily wear. Buyers after a dress watch on leather usually look at the Cartier Tank collection instead. Every line is in the main Cartier collection.
