VIDEO: A modern classic – Cartier’s Santos de Cartier

Few watches can rival Cartier’s Santos in terms of on-the-wrist recognition and sheer weight of history. The design debuted in 1904 and has remained fundamentally unchanged in form since.

Small changes have been made to the design and ergonomics of the case, … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: A modern classic – Cartier’s Santos de Cartier appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Late last year, one of the more surprising (and contentious) inclusions in my “best watches of 2017” list was the Apple Watch Series 3. For me, the addition of cellular functionality made the already formidable smart watch that much more intimidating - and appealing.
