I want a nice watch

Reward to myself.

A cool watch accents your wrist.



I think it would be nice if I could convey the charm to such people even a little.

Here are some personal highlights.


・The depth of the history of the watch called Cartier Santos


Speaking of Cartier, the impression as a jeweler is strong, but it is also an important brand in the history of watch manufacturing.

In particular, the Santos is a model that has completed the closest prototype to today's wristwatch and is located in the progenitor position of wristwatches .

The third generation Louis Cartier received a request from his friend, aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont.

"I want a watch that allows me to check the time without taking my hands off the control stick while I'm piloting an airplane."



At that time, pocket watches were the mainstream, and there were only a few simple watches that were just a pocket watch with a belt on it.

In response to Alberto Santos-Dumont's request, Cartier developed a model with lugs on the case, which is the closest thing to a modern wristwatch.

After that, it came to the market, and the demand for men's watches soared.

Santos came to be called the history of the wristwatch.

This episode is too famous for watch lovers, but the fact that it has a solid backbone and many elements to talk about is one of the factors that satisfy the desire to own it.


・Sophisticated Cartier design Easy handling


Earlier, I talked about pocket watches being the mainstream, but when it comes to pocket watches, they are round.

Santos adopted a square type and was an advanced model that was unprecedented in design at the time.

Several derivative models have appeared since then, but the Santos de Cartier introduced this time is a model that appeared in 2018.

The characteristic screws on the bezel and bracelet are inspired by the design of airplanes, which tells us that the Santos was created in response to requests from airplane passengers.

The dial design with railroad on the Roman numerals of the index creates elegance like other Cartier models.

The case design stands out for its sportiness, but by adding a sophisticated design to the dial, it's easy to use whether you're on or off.

We also recommend the blue dial model, but the sunray finish dial that glitters depending on the angle is outstandingly fashionable.

It looks great with both suits and casual outfits.









Cartier is often noted for its design, but in recent years it has also focused on the development of in-house movements.

It is self-winding and has a waterproof performance of 10 pressure, but it is quite thin.

With a thickness of 9.38 mm and a case length of 39.8 mm , it is easy to handle.

It fits well on the sleeve of a shirt, and the curved case fits smoothly on the arm, making it comfortable to wear.

From the side

The crown uses faceted synthetic spinel. It reminds me again that Cartier is a jeweler.

The crown is cut into a heptagonal shape, making it easy to operate. You can comfortably operate it when winding the watch by hand or adjusting the time.


・Do you need a watchmaker? You can adjust the band and change clothes according to your mood.


Speaking of adjusting the band, I had it done when I bought it, and it might be tough after all. If you think that, take it to a watchmaker~

There are many trends, but for the model introduced this time , you can even adjust the frame yourself.

There is a slightly different color on the inside of the band that you can push.

I pull out the pin, take the top, and push the pin in again.

Easy to adjust without special tools.

I drank too much last night and the band was swollen and the band was tight.



In addition, the belt can be easily replaced with one touch .

It has a common knob, and if you pinch it and remove it, your nails may hurt, but this is a simple specification that just pushes the button.

When attaching, just click and push.

It is also a recommended point that you can stock up on several bands and change them according to your mood, so you can enjoy choosing clothes.





I would like to introduce some of the attractions.

At one point, due to the surge in popularity, there were many shortages, and there was no prospect of the next arrival.

I wrote an article that I would like to introduce to everyone at the timing when the arrival has stabilized little by little.

If you are interested, I would like you to put it on your arm and feel its charm.

Personally, it is definitely a recommended product.

We are waiting for you at the Cartier corner of the AI ​​ISuzu head office.
