Cartier Santos 100 Chronograph | Blacksteel | 46mm | W2020005

An Architectural Icon Since 1904

Cartier’s Santos transformed the language of watchmaking with a form born from function: a pure square, taut lines, and those audacious, visible screws. This pre-owned Santos 100 Chronograph takes that industrial elegance into bolder territory, enveloping the icon’s architecture in commanding blacksteel and scaling it to a presence worthy of the modern metropolis.

A Symphony of Lines and Angles

• Reference Number: W2020005
• The Geometric Square Case: A sculptural 46 mm profile in blacksteel, amplifying the original Santos blueprint with contemporary assertiveness.
• The Exposed Bezel Screws: Eight signature screws—an honest celebration of engineering, elevated to ornament.
• The Polished and Brushed Finishes: Contrasting satin and polished planes accentuate the case’s crisp edges and structural clarity.
• The Integrated Case-to-Strap Design: Curved lugs flow seamlessly into a robust canvas/fabric strap for a unified, architectural silhouette.
• The Ergonomic Curvature: A contoured caseback and sloping lugs ensure comfort while maintaining a powerful, geometric stance.

The Curator’s Insight

In 1904, revealing the screws was a radical declaration that function could be beautiful—an idea that foresaw the age of aviation, steel, and speed. The Santos 100 Chronograph channels that vision with unapologetic modernity, its blacksteel architecture a confident salute to purposeful design.

A Design Masterpiece for the Wrist

For the connoisseur of form, the Santos remains a benchmark: precise, architectural, and unmistakably modern. This commanding chronograph iteration honors the original’s purity while delivering a bold, contemporary statement—design distilled to its most eloquent essentials.
