About the Cartier Santos Watches
The Santos watch is based on the concept of form, a taste for minimalism, the precision of proportions, and finally, an eye for detail by Louis for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos de Cartier watch was the first modern wristwatch. Its signature design, with visible screws and a daring square silhouette, has adapted effortlessly to the times since its creation – while staying true to the watch’s boundary-breaking inspiration. It is the legend and the history.
Simplicity. Practicality. Innovation. These were the three major principles of Alberto Santos-Dumont, the aviation pioneer. Every single one of his projects was guided by the desire to make further progress. In 1904, Louis Cartier granted the wish of the famous aviator: to be able to tell the time while flying. He revolutionized watchmaking by creating the first modern watch designed to be worn on the wrist.

Calfskin is particularly valuable because of its softness and fine grain, as well as its durability. It is commonly used for high-quality clothing, shoes, wallets, and similar products, as well as traditional leather bookbindings. In these contexts, just “calf” is commonly used. Fine calfskin is one of the skins used for vellum and parchment manuscripts.

Canvas Watch Band For Cartier Santos
The canvas watch strap has been in fashion for hundreds of years. Thanks to new technologies, now we can enjoy canvas watch straps in various sizes, shapes, colors, functionalities, and price ranges.
- Canvas is a much lighter and easier-to-carry fabric than leather.
- Canvas durability comes from the fact that canvas is a plain-woven fabric that provides strength and sturdiness. The canvas fibers flex and adjust with the weight and size of the items you place inside.
- Canvas is eco-friendly and this is very important in a world more and more concerned with saving the planet and not using animals for fashion.
- We can also make velcro strap for Cartier Santos
