…is what I often like to say to my fellow watch friends when they start again asking the same silly questions about Cartier.
It was 1983 or 1984 when I bought myfirst real watch; the Cartier Santos. That was of course the square watch in steel with yellow gold lunette and steel bracelet with yellow gold screws. It was hot like hell and became the most copied watch. It was also that watch that made me interested in the history of the brand, since the dealer told me that the design was inspired from the first men’s wristwatch, launched by Cartierin 1904. So you can imagine that it didnot take long before I became obsessed with watches in general, especially with Cartier.
