Designed in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Cartier Santos remains one of the earliest wristwatches ever made for men, and this large-model reference (47.5 x 39.8mm) keeps the signature exposed screws on the bezel and a crisp white dial. The automatic movement runs a 42-hour power reserve. Modern Santos cases use Cartier's QuickSwitch and SmartLink systems, letting the bracelet be resized or swapped for a strap without tools — a practical touch layered onto a design that's now well over a century old. Few watches in any collection carry this much genuine, undisputed historical weight.
