Cartier has done it again with their Santos Skeleton Series, a miraculous creation from their renowned designers. This watch’s dimensions measure 43.5×31.4mm and feature a Swiss 1042 caliber modified into the original 9629 model. The craftsmanship mirrors that of the boutique experience with unparalleled 1:1 casing dimensions, and it flaunts a genuine skeletonized design.

The strap boasts an authentic imported crocodile pattern, while the buckle is plated in 18k rose gold or gold. The sapphire crystal glass is a testament to quality and sophistication, accompanied by the burnt blue-steel hands and a blue sapphire-embedded crown—all of which are synchronized with the original model.

Hidden within the casing and mirrored in its fine detail is an intricately positioned logo, ensuring authenticity. Each watch comes with a guarantee card and invoice, enabling the ‘one watch, one code’ feature—far surpassing those generic coded products circulating the market.

Remarkably, the pearl rotor is crafted in homage to the Albert Santos-Dumont-designed ‘La Demoiselle’ aircraft of 1907, connecting to a semi-globe pearl rotor assembly. The watch for the first time houses a skeletonized movement visible through the sapphire crystal, allowing appreciating eyes to witness the detailed craftsmanship.

The crown features a classic blue sapphire, exuding a vintage elegance, while its surrounding anti-slip granules provide a grip for easy time adjustments. The polished stainless steel bezel creates marked contrast with the case, enhancing its layered appeal.

This luxurious timepiece isn’t just for keeping time; it’s a testament to history, craftsmanship, and style. Whether you’re adjusting time or simply admiring its design, this watch ensures every glance is steeped in sophistication.
