Cartier launched the Santos collection in 1911 to the public after gaining eyeballs on the wrist of Alberto Santos in 1904 - the iconic pilot who inspired the watch, claiming he had difficulty telling time in a pocket watch mid-flight. Hence, giving birth to the first pilot wristwatch - now a brand signature.

This Cartier Santos 'Demoiselle' reminds us of the monoplane named Demoiselle built by Santos himself. This iconic watch features an 18k rose gold square case with a silver dial bearing the signature black Roman numeral hour markers and sword-shaped blue steel hands. Topped with a diamond-encrusted bezel and crown in rose gold, this 21mm timepiece also enjoys a sleek and luxurious 18k rose gold bracelet.

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.
