The Cartier Santos de Cartier is a historically significant wristwatch, notable for being one of the first men’s wristwatches, the first pilot’s watch, and the first sports watch. Designed by Louis Cartier in 1904 for aviators, the Santos watch allowed them to tell time easily during flight. Its introduction marked a pivotal moment in horology, evolving from pocket watches to the wrist-worn timepieces we commonly see today. The watch’s design has since become iconic. The Santos de Cartier was launched in 1911 and is still produced today.
