Early in their respective careers, Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos and Louis Cartier collaborated on a watch that Alberto could wear while flying. Hence, the Santos wrist watch was born with emphasis on wrist-wearable. It was the first of its kind to be designed specifically for the wrist. The watches to follow in the Santos line carry this heritage with them. The dial is white with blue roman numeral indices and the signature screw down bezel is here as usual with the Santos.
The Tank Americaine features an elongated case with a more pronounced curve than the original model. It playfully updates the geometry of the lines, retaining the rectangular form while alternating between round edges and angles. Situated on the Alligator leather brown leather strap. The powerfully elegant Tank Americaine watch is for connoisseurs only. Complete with authentic Cartier box. Image shown is actual timepiece.
A round wristwatch was introduced into the Cartier collection in 1943, and became the inspiration for the Pasha series. This unique timepiece exudes power and elegance through its construction, featuring: a round, water-resistant case, four Arabic numerals, a screw-down crown cap attached to the case by a small chain, and sword-shaped hands. The distinctive Pasha watch stands out while also staying faithful to the Cartier watchmaking tradition.
