Subtlety, refinement and elegance in watchmaking is an art form in itself. It’s very easy to overdo it and end up with a watch that is just a bit, well, off.

While the name Santos often comes to mind when speaking about Cartier watches, it would be more precise in this instance to talk about the brand’s first wristwatch – and most probably one of the earliest purpose-built wristwatches.

When we talk about the inaugural watch of 1917, we refer to it as the Tank Normale (elegantly re-edited this year). But, year after year, the model expanded to […]
