Introducing the New Small Santos
de Cartier: The Icon Reimagined

Now available in full stainless steel, steel and yellow gold, and full yellow gold, this new size brings even more versatility to one of Cartier’s most legendary watch collections.

What is the Santos de Cartier?

The Cartier Santos is one of the most iconic watches in horological history. Originally created in 1904 for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont, it was the first purpose-designed wristwatch—and has remained a symbol of innovation and style for over a century.
Recognized for its square case, exposed screws, and strong design DNA, the Santos has become a go-to choice for those who appreciate both heritage and contemporary elegance.
