The Santos de Cartier Ref. WHSA0010 is a large model that beautifully combines the art of skeletonized design with the technical prowess of Cartier's hand-wound mechanical movement. Powered by the caliber 9619 MC, this timepiece boasts a manual winding movement that is intricately crafted with 138 parts, including 20 jewels. The 39.7 mm case, made from luxurious 18K rose gold (750/1000), showcases Cartier’s signature design, featuring a heptagonal crown adorned with a faceted sapphire, adding a touch of elegance to the bold structure of the watch. The skeletonized bridges that form Roman numerals on the dial are a striking display of Cartier’s expertise in both form and function.
The gold-finish sword-shaped hands sweep across the dial, encased in sapphire crystal for ultimate durability and scratch resistance. The intricate movement is visible through both the front and the sapphire case back, allowing a full appreciation of the craftsmanship within. This watch is a perfect fusion of modern design and classic watchmaking techniques, making it not just a timepiece but a work of art on the wrist. Its distinctive skeleton design, with bridges forming the Roman numerals, gives the wearer a glimpse into the heart of the movement, providing an elevated aesthetic and technical experience.
The Santos Skeleton watch comes with two interchangeable leather bracelets, one in alligator skin and the other in calfskin. These straps are easily swapped thanks to Cartier’s “QuickSwitch” system, allowing for seamless transitions between styles to suit different occasions. The straps are complemented by a double adjustable folding buckle, also crafted from 18K rose gold, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. The flexibility and personalization of the straps enhance the watch’s versatility, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate both luxury and practicality.
