No amount of fancy nor extravagant watches could stop our love for this timeless work from Cartier, which first created in 1904 by Louis Cartier&nbsp;to his friend, the Brazilan aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont.

And this is how the world&#39;s first wristwatch was born.

During SIHH 2018&nbsp;(Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie), Cartier announced the revival and re-design of Santos. The 18K rose gold case of the new Santos is reshaped with more curves and chamfer, giving it a gentle and modern touch.

Each of the watches&nbsp;also comes with both leather strap and steel bracelet, a button is equipped on it to allow&nbsp;the straps to be swapped without using any tools.
