My latest purchase is a watch with a great history and some clever innovations. I prefer the midsize version which, to me, has the overall cleanest look. Although it’s really different from what I normally like, I really love this Cartier Santos!

Aaaaah, the Cartier Santos rocks! My wish Santos is the large with the bleu gradient dial.

Having a watch I own being called deliciously funky, I must admit Nico, that makes me appreciate it even more, thanks for that!

I like the bracelet but the strap is a moment away anytime.

A beautiful watch with a long history and very clever innovations indeed. I think that seizing a bracelet has never been so easy. I have been considering the midsize version too for quite some time but not yet pulled the trigger. Best, V.

I know, i do not pulled the trigger also. Sure, i go to acquire a Santos somehow. I know which watches i do not go to collect, so i think the Santos is somewhere around 2025. Another stunner the Breitling Navitimer 42mm is also a peace i not pulled the trigger, but i wil get it in my collection.
