The clock retains it’s original presentation case from Cartier.

Cartier’s story began in 1847 when Louis-Frabcois Cartier took over a jewellery workshop in Paris.

The company grew rapidly and remained in family ownership until 1964.

It is now owned by the Richmont Group and is known throughout the world for it’s high end jewellery, watches and luxury goods.

The Santos watch was designed by Louis Cartier in 1904 for the infamous Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Durmount.  C.1980’s
