Joaquín Fernández Cebrián

The Cartier Santos is not just a watch; it is a piece of history. Originally designed in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, it holds the title of the world’s first purposeful wristwatch and first pilot's watch. This specific model, the Santos Galbée, was introduced in 1987 to modernize the classic silhouette with a more ergonomic, curved ("galbée") case that hugs the wrist perfectly, making it one of the most comfortable and recognizable luxury sports watches ever made.
