SIHH 2019: The Santos De Cartier Chronograph And Squelette Noctambule



As iconic watches go, the Santos is up there in the pantheon of greats. First launched in 1904 and designed for pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont, it has the dual legacy of being the first purpose-designed wristwatch and the first pilot’s watch.

Last year, Cartier decided to give the this classic an update. It gave it some curves thanks to the bracelet and case integration and introduced its new SmartLink and QuickSwitch concepts. The former refers to a section of links that can be added or removed at home and the latter to the method of switching the strap in its entirety – concepts which were nearly three years in the making. This year is all about extending the family. There’s the new high-efficiency quartz-powered homage to the original – the Santos-Dumont – but the real talking point is going to be the Santos de Cartier Chronograph.

Cartier is relatively new to the in-house chronograph game – its first was launched in 2013 in the Calibre de Cartier Chronograph. Although the watch was easy on the eye, what everyone was talking about was its power source – the 1904-CH MC. This is the Carole-Forestier designed column wheel chronograph fitted with vertical coupling and linear zero resetting – it uses a hammer mechanism to ensure that the chronograph is reset with the ideal amount force however hard or soft you press the button.

And it is this impressive piece of kit that you will find in the Santos de Cartier Chronograph replica watch. If you want any more reasons to buy this effortlessly cool timepiece, then we can tell you about the new folding buckle, the discreet chronograph push button at nine o’clock and the two bracelets– one black leather, the other in a menacingly sophisticated dark steel. The latter being our preference if only for the way it appears to flow in an almost molten fashion from the darkened bezel of the frankly superior all-steel version. But really, it’s all about the movement.


Another talking point but for far more whimsical reasons is the Santos Squelette Noctambule; a skeleton Santos with the steel bridges coated in Superluminova; an effect that turns the bridge work into a luminescent spider’s web when night falls. Cartier has dabbled with this particular trick before with a Tank back in 2006, however that never made it past prototype stage and became a unique piece for the Cartier collection.

Obviously, Cartier has used the intervening 13 years to improve this particular technique because this Noctambule will be available to the public from June this year. Cartier’s reasoning for adding this to the Santos collection was because on June 24 1903, Alberto Santos-Dumont flew at night, guided by a spotlight fixed on the ground.

Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Pulsometer Limited Edition Watch

Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Pulsometer Limited Edition Watch Every year at Baselworld, Omega announces a massive amount of new watches, and usually only a handful take the spotlight each year. Last year it was the Trilogy Collection and this year the new Seamaster 300M seemed to get all the love. However, Omega usually has a few sleeper hits up their sleeves, and for 2018, one of my favorite Omega releases is the latest addition to its CK2998 family, the Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Pulsometer Limited Edition watch. The Speedmaster is a watch that needs no introduction in the watch world. It’s an iconic (yeah, I used the “i” word) design that has stood the test of time and is instantly recognizable. The new Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Pulsometer is fitted with a steel case, measuring in at 39.7mm in diameter with a lug spacing of 19mm, suggesting that it will wear quite nicely on most wrist sizes, but difficult to find alternative strap options due to the 19mm lug spacing. Covering the d...

2020 Patek Philippe Calatrava Weekly Calendar In Stainless Steel Replica Watch Reviews

Image
In 2019, Patek Philippe introduced a very unique Calatrava in that it’s available in stainless steel and because it has an unusual weekly calendar function.Today let's talk about the Patek Philippe Calatrava Weekly Calendar In Stainless Steel watch . As with the stainless steel 5711 Nautilus (probably the hottest single watch reference on the planet right now), and the limited edition steel Calatrava 5522 introduced in 2017, anything Patek Philippe makes in stainless steel instantly creates more demand than supply, a problem that I’m sure the Swiss company does not mind having. There’s a lot of hype around steel watches these days, particularly Rolex and Patek Philippe, and while some lesser watch companies try to artificially create the same level of demand by saying a certain watch is “hot” or “sold out,” even when that’s not even close to true, with this Calatrava in steel, or the Rolex Sky-Dweller in steel, I know for a fact it’s true. There are brand representa...
