Santos de Cartier or Santos Dumont?

To me Cartier is an amazing watch brand, both for its rich history and innovation. I have always wanted to own a Santos myself, and the two beauties are santos de Cartier and santos Dumont. They are equally beautiful for different style. Santos de Cartier is so beautiful as a dress watch (great price too!) while Santos Dumont (even better price) is somehow so sexy to look at and very stylish. The Dumont will be more accurate since it’s a quartz movement (and 6 year battery life!) which kind of turn me off abit (I know I’m such a watch snob 😆) I know that there’s the XL version too. It so hard to decide 😂😂 What do you guys think? I would love to hear from you all!

I like the de Cartier. It’s an everyday/dress/sport watch with an automatic movement. Hard to beat!

The Dumont XL is a manual wind. Not sure if that changes anything for you in regards to the quartz snobbery. 🤭

As a watch snob, you may find more history linked to that watch.
