The Cartier Santos is one of the first wristwatches in history. Created in 1904 for the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, it met a simple demand: to tell the time mid-flight without taking your hands off the controls. This emblematic model thus marked a historic turning point in watchmaking, evolving from a pocket watch to a wristwatch for men. Since then, the Santos has become a timeless classic, revisited numerous times while retaining its instantly recognizable square design. 2961, in particular, embodies the spirit of the 1980s-1990s: a subtle balance between sport-chic and watchmaking elegance.
