Cartier Santos Galbee Xl Question
Hello,
Been a member here for a while although first post today!
I bought a Cartier Santos Galbee large S/S in quartz in 2005. It wasn't until I really got in to the mechanics of watches a while later that I regretted not getting the automatic version.
They no longer produce my version and only manufacture the Galbee in XL in automatic now. Whilst I know it's not an in-house movement and more of an ETA based mechanism inside I am thinking of selling my old Santos and replacing it with the automatic version.
It seems that Cartier are producing more of their watches now with their new in-house calibres.
I'm happy to purchase it with the current ETA mechanism but obviously I'd hate to buy it and then for the watch to be produced with a new in-house mechanism afterwards.
My question is this... Does anyone know if it's likely that Cartier will start producing the Santos with one of the more recent Cartier in-house movements?
Thanks

Cartier Santos Galbee Xl Question
For sure one day Cartier will produce a Santos Galbée with in-house automatic movement, but I doubt if that will be anytime soon, since it has all the do with the capacity in the Manufacture. Cartier is now concentrating on the Tank MC, Tank Anglaise, and...
I agree and a Cartier insider said
that every thing that Cartier does must embody the spirit of their patrimony (heritage) as well as a "Wow" factor to engage the client. They should not dilute their efforts by too many new products at once. Thanks for your considered opinion. Regards, MTF...
