WATCH Cartier Santos by Ahmet Aydin @watchmania

ike many of us my interest in timepieces goes back a long way. Over the years I’ve used vintage timepieces, modern watches, dress watches, chronographs, divers, pilot watches, of all classes and price levels. Many of them have been part of my collection and then went out. Some of them were the watches that were given to me for a while to review and have a user experience with them.

In any case I’m always excited when I first get a watch I’ve never seen before. It has always been a great pleasure to take it into my hands and touch it, and adjust the time and put it on my wrist. Possibly this infatuation has reached people through Instagram and allowed me to reach more than half a million followers. I’ve always liked Cartier. I think that they have been manufacturing timepieces for true gentlemen and
gentlewomen, and that they are a ‘Maison’ that has improved in years, while they still keep alive that glorious and noble air of the early 1900s. As all aficionado will know, one of the brands that had initiated the present watch industry is Cartier. It was Cartier who ensured the wrist watches to become a part of the daily life by crafting a wrist watch in its true sense, though of course there had been some brands that produced wrist watches before.
