New watch alert
I always loved the Santos Dumont ultra slim with Piguet movement and the older version was.. odd and not interesting. When I purchased that one I realised many great details such as oversized octagonal crown with cutted sapphire cabochon, masculine case design compared to size of the watch and that romantic feeling that this Santos Dumont comes from the old times when Cartier was something special, not global watch brand. The original vintage style deployant clasp is designed to cut the strap/made to order. Love it!
