Cartier replenishes the beauty, timeless charm, and significance of its linchpin Santos with this more elegant and discerning Santos Dumont.
Why we love it
In 2019, Cartier elevated the clout of its Santos collection with the introduction of Santos Dumont watches. This line-up that initially featured quartz-powered watches was followed by mechanical versions in 2020, including this reference WSSA0032. Drawing inspiration from the original, this Santos Dumont embraces Cartier’s signature design aesthetics in a highly elegant fashion. It’s a stylish men’s watch with an impressive slim profile, rendering it a standout accompaniment to any black-tie ensemble.
The case measures a versatile 46.6mm and has a thickness of 7.5mm only. Accommodating both polished and brushed finishes, the case furnishes an elegant personality, and the beaded crown with the blue cabochon and screws on the bezel nod to the iconic Cartier design trope.
The dial asserts a similar admiration for historical details featuring Roman numeral hour markers, railroad minute track, and sword-shaped blue hands. A fine sunburst finish that blankets the silver dial exalts the refined character of the watch. Hand-wound calibre 430 MC powers this Cartier Santos Dumont and provides a power reserve of 68 hours.
Please note this Cartier Santos Dumont WSSA0032 bears noticeable scratches on the case, bezel, and caseback. Its leather strap is in satisfactory condition.
Provenance
At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card.
A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements.
We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
