The Cartier Santos is a watch with rich tradition and history spanning over a hundred years. Today, Cartier is part of the Compagnie Financière Richemont SA in Switzerland. The company was a family-owned business until 1964. His son Alfred Cartier took over the atelier 30 years later, and thereafter passed on to Alfred’s sons.The brand started to gain high recognition under Alfred’s sons’ leadership. Louis-François Cartier founded Cartier in Paris in 1847. Today we review the latest addition to this collection – the Cartier Tank Cintrée. Of their line up, the Tank is perhaps one of the brand’s most iconic and recognisable design styles with tradition of 100 years. This year at SIHH, Cartier gave the world a good look at their 2018 collection.

Cartier finished ETA calibre 2670 automatic movement, lever escapement, 17 jewels, mono-metallic balance, 28,800 BPH, Incabloc shock absorber The watch retains its original 18ct yellow gold Cartier deployant buckle which, like the watch case, has London import hallmarks for 1974 – the buckle is fitted to a black leather Cartier strap. The white dial is a signature Cartier configuration with black Roman numerals and sword shaped hands. Cased in 18ct yellow gold, the colouring is rich and warm in tone and the design dispenses with the traditional arrangement of extended lugs, thereby allowing the pure circle of the case to be interrupted only by the ends of the strap.

The Vendôme is a most attractively designed wristwatch that was made in both manually wound and, as in this instance, automatic versions.
