Cartier

Starting the weekend with this classic advert from Cartier certainly hits the spot, for the style and the classic good looks of the Santos Dumont. The fact that it’s the platinum edition is all the more alluring. Enjoy ! ...  

The blue version released this year looks so beautiful. My fav would be the “night owl” noctambule piece. But gosh that costs a fortune.

It’s certainly an interesting design statement with the lume against the ADLC black case.

I had one 25 years ago but had to sell it to make ends meet. Super slim, super light (especially for a platinum) and total elegance. I have not seen a better Cartier creation since.

Sometimes we all have to make difficult choices, but I hope you get one again in the future. Have a great weekend.

Not as quite refined but the two tone is a reminiscent of the earliest Santos, either white gold or platinum with yellow gold back. This one with yellow gold bezel, crown, and case back, Ref 78225, 25x36mm, retaining the petite form (size) of its predeces...  

The yellow gold caseback looks so good with the screws and bezel. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I really like the Alberto Santos Dumont models. Here is my Ultra thin from the 80s. Love it 😊 ...  

So stylish.

Such an exceptional classy timepiece.
