Discover the Cartier Santos Watches Collection in Houston
The Santos is an iconic Cartier watch that stands out with its distinct square case. This watch was created out of the friendship between Louis Cartier, third-generation founder and jewelry designer of Cartier, and Alberto Santos-Dumont, a pioneering Brazilian aviator. In the early 20th century, Santos-Dumont needed a watch that would allow him to keep track of time without letting go of the controls of his aircraft.Â

The enduring popularity of the Cartier Santos can be attributed to its signature design elements, which have remained consistent over the years. The square-shaped case with its gently rounded corners sets it apart from the usual round watch faces, and is one of the reasons why many people buy Cartier Santos online. The Art Deco-inspired dial features Roman numeral hour markers, while the railroad minute track is located either at the center or the outer edge of the dial.

The Cartier Santos has evolved over the years, but it remains true to its roots. If you’re planning to buy Cartier Santos from an authorized Cartier e-commerce retailer like Zadok Jewelers, note that this collection is divided into two main categories: the Santos-Dumont and the Santos de Cartier. The Santos-Dumont models stay closest to the 1904 version, and are perfect for those who appreciate classic timepieces with a historical background. On the other hand, the Santos de Cartier, introduced in 2018, offers a more modern take on the design and draws inspiration from the 1970s Santos model. Both are considered iconic designs in their own right. Â
