There’s a certain warmth and familiarity to these videos you don’t find in other watch channels - production quality is perfect - presentation has honesty and style - nothing pretentious or opinionated - it all feels so effortless - an antidote to a typical day
Spot on! Yes! I have the same feeling while watching Andrei’s videos!
Thank you Mark! it's probably the wooden table the blame :)))
So well put completely agree 👍
Agree ❤
Insert earbuds in ear, make brave beaters playlist, hit the repeat and shuffle buttons, lock the phone, go to sleep. Repeat the following night. You'll wake up a new man!
The quality of this video is out of this world.
Thank you Sir! ❤️

Thank you for making this video. It really hit home as the Cartier Santos represents a transition in my life - After having owned some of the most sought after Rolex models and various watches from other brands, my watch journey has brought me to a point where I am no longer worried about the financial aspect of a purchase. The current state of my collection reflects my personality, my wants and it doesn't pay attention to those that require a specific brand on the wrist. While I can immediately purchase the Santos, I'm enjoying the chase and the thrill of the hunt. Quietly putting a few hundred dollars aside every week and treating this acquisition as a reminder of the immense privilege of being able to afford an icon.
My father wore a Santos, so it's engrained in my mind as the watch of a business man. The fact that it didn't get dragged into the stainless steel hype means I can still wear it as a business man. If there's one thing you never want your wrist to show when you walk into a room to make a deal, it's that you're willing to overpay for something for your ego.
I fully agree with you! this falls under the ''why I want a rolex'' to impress myself or to impress the people.
That really depends on the specific model, while I tend to agree (happy owner of a Santos as my daily driver), the lower end ones without date and quartz movement definitely fall into the category of "overpaid for an unimpressive watch simply to have something flashy and show off".
I’m seeing a lot of santos hype now with younger audiences on Yt and tik tok which is kinda putting me off it idk why. I keep seeing Cartier pop up in ‘old money aesthetic’ videos made by pick me boys 😂 maybe I’m just being a watch snob
@@patrickmonkman8151 Nah man, not a snob at all, I know what you mean.
At risk of sounding elitist (proud owner of a pretty nice watch collection but not from a. wealthy background haha) it's definitely a shame seeing what demographic seems to be attracted to the Santos, mostly "old money" douches in compilations like you mentioned and mumble rappers that want an "iced out" Santos.
While putting me off at first, being put off by my very recent and pricey purchase was not an option :,), I ended up realising that in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter, rappers that can afford a Santos are rare and those weirdos that try to emulate the old rich usually don't have money for a watch anyways, the majority of Santos owners/people considering one are still normal watch loving folks.
Wow! What can I say … I am blown away….
First about the watch and the way YOU presented it: I am secretly admiring the Santos and I can say I watched almost all videos on YT. By far yours offer the best explanation and perspective! Thanks for that and I will for sure at some point in my watch collecting journey, will own one!
Secondly about YOUR video skills, story telling, engaging abilities and respect shown to us, the viewers… I am subscribed to this channel almost from the begining and watched all your videos (some of them 2 or 3 times :) ). In my opinion, there was, is and will be a continus improvement of your work with increasing content quality and I admire you for the determination, level of involvement and attention to details. This video, is a clear proof to me that you have a tremendous potential to become one of the best watch channels that speaks his own mind, from the heart, with no biased mindset and no hidden agenda!
Bravo and thanks!
I hate you again! :)))
As usual, extremely encouraging and kind words, super supporting as usual! I owe you a lot of things and I am glad you are part of this project, Mr. RR!
You are very right, I am making that extra mile effort, because as a user experience designer I understand that, behind each view there is a viewer, a human being. and I respect a lot people's time. So when I do videos, I always think about how to make the content more engaging and more relevant for people.
Thank you once again for everything! :)
Sublime watching experience. This clip was next level for you. Really enjoy your evolution. This watch is on a completely different level than what I'd consider, but thankfully even a Seiko or Orient can be linked to an important event and be worn with true emotion. Keep this level of quality, Andrei!
I appreciate your words, thank you :)
True, an Anchor can be set at any price point as long as it personally matters for you.
I’ve always wanted to wear a Cartier but just don’t think I could pull it off… I completely lack any fashion sense and am not the kind of persona this watch would suit… This video has given me hope that maybe if I keep on working on myself I can one day achieve that dream of wearing a Cartier with confidence!
Haha, the strenght is real! It depends on the types of activities you perform on a daily basis, also what types of watches you wear, indeed :)
anyone can pull it off mate, if you enjoy the presence of this watch on your wrist, that is all you need. Just having it on your wrist shows confidence and a bit of sophistication. Also, Cartier is one of the most widely recognizable brands for both women and men. I'm not single, and I seldom wear watches to impress other people, however, I must admit it's nice receiving the occasional compliment from the opposite sex. Coincidently, the compliments are almost always when I'm wearing the santos.
I truly hear what you're saying here. I bought a Santos in October last year because after working from home and becoming ever more casual and ever more reclusive I finally said to my wife that I sorely miss culture and beauty in my life. I also went for the medium, and got an additional blue cordovan strap from Delugs in Singapore. On the same day, my wife got a Tank large on bracelet, and a camel strap from Delugs. So we could feel elegance once more.
Let's just say that your video resonated quite a bit. To quote TGV: Onwards and upwards. 👍👍😉
Man, you are not doing just videos, you are doing art!
Haha, thank you very much! I appreciate and respect the people, they deserve more!
The way you have just done this video is simply stunning. I look at watch videos every single day, i study every night about watches, it has become a hobby and an addiction yet i have never seen a video that transmits so much soul and emotion about one single timepiece. This video was almost existential about life itself. It made me want to reinvent myself. I want to congratulate you on the making of this video as well as the message your have sent out with it. Made me think and reflect and i am very impressed how you did all this in a mere 10 minutes. That video was true art. Well done. Please keep them coming. Thank you !
It is by far the best video I have seen on the Cartier Santos. Phenomenal work on your part
Thank you Philipp :)
Fantastic vid. The subject resonates. I bought a Submariner back in the early '90s because it was mechanical and tough. I then became a diver and a marine biologist. The object became a thing and the thing inspired me. Objects can both transform and become more meaningful, but also transform us. The Santos is a beautiful watch and you certainly picked the right one! Where it well.
Very cool story, WOW Marine biologist! You have the coolest job on the planet! :)
Mr James howard, How did you get paid ?
That's a new field for me.
Cartier doesn't do it for me. That said, this may be my favorite video you've done. Your production quality is always a couple steps above other channels and this one was very creative. Your reasoning and emotional bravery combined for a window into you through classic watches. Great work. You're a huge asset in the watch community. As for me, it'll be Breguet when I make my first billion. 🙃Cheers from Florida! 😆
Super nice words Brian! Thank you very much! :) Breguet is a gem to own, indeed! Cheers from cold Bucharest! 😁
Maybe this will change when you try the Santos Large (40 mm) with the blue dial on your wrist. Cartier didn’t do it to me ever. Not on photos, not in videos. Then last week, I’ve seen the above mentioned watch in the display of my AD, went inside and tried it on. Sold.
As I said: Maybe.
I got the Santos Galbee XL in November last year and I love it. The Santos is such a versatile watch, it obviously dresses up but works in casual attire too.
that piece is very nice! Enjoy it :)
Instant subscribe!
Oh dear, I might have to try this watch on at the boutique (again).
Thank you firstname :D
Why not, maybe second time it the right time :)
For me the seiko alpinist was what I really wanted after going through the endless quartz watches no matter is it was eco drive or tought solar or not felt the with quartz it left me with a feeling that something was missing , yes the quartz was accurate and rarely needs servicing , yet the automatic watch felt more real as this was for me.
For sure! Alpinist is a solid piece with an iconic design already! Enjoy it, a great piece! ❤️
I'm ok thanks give the giveaway to someone else. Like your though provoking and philosophical ideas about watches , to many people cars and luxery are thier vices for other its watches , glad I'm in the community.
i too fell in love with the Alpinist lineup. nice purchase
I confess to being something of a junkie for watch videos, seen probably thousands over the years. This is Next Level. BRAVO sir! The Santos has 'haunted' me since this model was released and for me probably a Dumont 2 tone. But maybe this one...The value is not outstanding but the class is unmistakeable and it never gets old.
Well said Chris! It's more about the class and the message behind a cartier than the quality. Thank you very much :)
for my birthday this last year, my wife got me a 90 minute before the store opened 1:1 with a watch specialist at a store in Portland that carries a lot of higher end watches. I got to try on, Rolex, Tag's, Tissot, Breitling, Panerai, Seiko, and Cartier. and my biggest surprise of the day was the Cartier Santos. the one I tried on and LOVED was the 0037. I have 8" wrists and it was an amazing watch.
Haha, true words, out of the mentioned ones, 0037 is the most exotic and beautiful :)
Excellent Video and lovingly photographed...I have the two tone medium Santos de Cartier which I absolutely love. I prefer it with my dark Blue leather Cartier deployant strap. For me, it looks so darned cool (even if i am not) ! Watching your film made me want to buy the straight stainless model as well which is, ultimately, timeless. But, At my time of life I am more about dressy than casual - so I went with the Gold.
thank you Bob, I can say the same thing, I'd go anytime for a gold bezel version even the full gold one :D I think in combination with gold, the Santos line, this or Dumont, are simply WOW! so enjoy it :)
Keep on making these kind of vids. You have found your personal style. Continue your journey with us.😉
Ps: It took a while to reach the 20k subs and now you easily passed the 21k within a few weeks. Congrats!
Thank you very much! :)
Let them come!!!! :))
The Cartier Santos is an iconic beauty but I would not buy one. Why? Because the Santos is very scratch prone, especially on the high polished bezel. Cartier knows about this flaw and refuses to fix it, meanwhile, TH-camrs keep making excuses for the flawed and subpar metal casing. Silver colored watches, such as stainless steel and titanium, are the defacto metal of choice. There are stainless steels that prone to scratches and stainless steels that are not prone to scratches, as well as coatings too. Why, in 2024, aren't manufacturers making "scratch-proof" watches? There are PVD coatings and nomenclatures like 316L steel, super titanium, TinSkin 3.0, and platinum encasements. A company as profitable and well funded as Cartier has no excuse for making watches that are scratch prone. Invest a little R&D and fix this problem. Having the bezel on a Cartier Santos scratched by something as innocuous as the cuff of your shirt is unforgivable.It's not just a Cartier problem, but most luxury watchmakers don't put in the effort to ensure their watches are "scratch-proof" or as scratch resistant as possible. It's a shame. For this reason alone I would never buy a Cartier Santos. Profits above all. So what are the most scratch resistant metals? Tegiment steel and UltraHex titanium.
Stop crying. Its just a watch.
@@El-AYE-Ra1s3d A watch is not just a watch. A watch contains the history of world, on tick at a time.
@davidhunternyc1 bro, its just jewelry. You cant make it out to be what you want but it thats all it really is. I love watches probably just as much as you do, but when you're afraid to wear the watch because it my scratch then whats the whole point of wearing watches? Enjoy your watches, nothing is forever.
@@El-AYE-Ra1s3dhe’s an idiot
My Santos has been sitting in my watch box for months as I sank deeper into my dive watches. Thank you for reminding me and reinvigorating my love for my Santos.
Wear it and enjoy it, a must! :D
Congrat for the Santos. I bought my Santos 2 weeks ago. I could not decide between the Santos medium and Santos PVD with blue bezel. Finaly i took the PVD version. I do not regret. But you can not make any mistake with a Santos.
Aa congrats! I was between medium and the large grey bezel. But as you said, no matter the model, no mistakes :)
Love the storytelling and the sketching is just such a great touch ❤
Thank you :)
Very well done! Great storytelling :-)
Thank you very much :)
Wow! You blew me away. This video was brave, honest, and relatable; something to admire and inspire. I don't think I ever commented on any video on TH-cam, but you struck a chord here. I had already planned to buy this watch (or the Santos Dumont) for my next purchase, and I think it is no surprise. This watch is truly something special, something aspirational to get but also aspirational to be the best version of yourself. My love for Cartier has grown so much in the past year and your story only confirms it. Thank you for your amazing contribution to the watch community!
Super nice words, Aleksandar, Thank you! If you feel to get into Cartier DO IT, both Santos and Dumont are amazing pieces. I personally like XL dumont a lot!! But the Santos with bracelet feels more like a complete package.
@@BraveBeaters Thank you for the advice! I'm currently leaning towards the large Santos Dumont, but nothing is decided yet. And I'm still saving for it so there is still time.
Keep up the good work!
The two-tone medium is my first luxury watch and I love it! Glad I got the updated version. I honestly believe I’m going to be able to pass it down and say it’s a watch with heritage yet innovative during this time.
I enjoyed this video and especially your honesty and humility.
It is a remarkable story how such an object as you say can have such a profound effect. And why not?
And this is a perfect watch to achieve that.
Good for you I am happy with this story
You summarized it, very well!! Thank you Wisam! ❤️
Look very smart. Timeless elegance. Legibility. Class. Refinement. I’ve tried a few variations with the date. The rhodium dial with the dark bezel was superb. But yours is the classic look. I loved the way it curved around my wrist. Maybe a half link adjustment in the bracelet would be an idea for a better fit. It also looks cool on the strap. Cartier. Can’t go wrong. Maybe I’ll get one in the future.
Agree with the bracelet, they could had made a better adjustment of the bracelet.
The best watch video (and story) I have ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot. Well done.
Likewise! ;)
I appreciate your words. Thank you :)
Subscribed! Love your channel! Great video that captures the emotion and feel of our love for watches. Gonna show this to my girlfriend so she understands.
haha, thank you very much! :) OFC we have feelings for our watches :D
Good idea :)
A Beautiful "dress" watch. Stunning. How can a screw down case look so good on the Cartier and fail on a Hublot ?
Some things just look right. A combination of form, function and materials. This just looks right.
A beauty indeed, Eric. a design perfected in time, Hublot is still young.
Fantastically done segment, loved it! The Santos de Cartier has always caught my eye and captures a level of luxury in design that many other brands try to compensate for by adding complex finishes. I think it's very special that Cartier is able to exude luxury at such an organic level. One day I'll dip my toes in, but my 7.5" wrist will have me very torn as to which scale to pursue. Anyways, thanks for sharing and keep doing what you're doing Sir!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your words! I appreciate as well what you are doing for us, for the community, for so long :) Keep up the good work, and looking forward to see a santos reviewed on the channel.
@@BraveBeaters Oh wow, thank you for that. I'm always so impressed with how far the YT watch content community has come over the years, channels like yours continue to elevate the space and I'm just proud to be a part of its divers tapestry as the landscape continues to expand and evolve, cheers!
@@AverageBros kind words, thank you! I am also proud to be part of this youtube journey alongside you! #forthecommunity :)
Two of the best Watch TH-camrs. Both your presentations are incredible. You guys need to collaborate.
Usually you only find two types of opinions: 1 materialism and consumerism are bad and jewelry as Well as watches are the embodiment of this.
2 this hobby of watch collecting is about history and art and you have them as symbols for your story or conversation starters.
I have never heard someone admit that a watch is a soulless object that gives instant gratitude but can be filled with a personal story.
This embraces the dark side of this hobby instead of arguing it away. That is the most mature attitude towards watches I have seen. Loved the video great content.
On the side another thing people do is wear a watch that they talked themselves into because they liked the image of themselves with it and realize after a while it's "not them" so they sell it. I don't think I have heard someone talk about purposefully buying the watch that does not fit to their standard requirements or style because they want to reinvent themselves. So you adapt to the watch sort of. Pretty cool.
This watch and in particular your story resonates with me….thanks for sharing your story….so much emotion❤
:) thank you Rob! I appreciate your words!
Your best work so far IMHO. Excellent video, truly iconic and spectacular timepiece, love it!
Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Steve, long time no see :) Or I've missed some of your messages, Sorry :) thank you, as well!
@@BraveBeaters
I watch with my Mrs on the TV so can't usually comment from there , but felt compelled to rewatch on my phone & comment. Brilliant, rest assured that I've not missed a single episode and you've gained my Lady as another avid fan 😁👍🏻
This has to be the best video uve done yet. And best video I even on the Santos yet. Amazingly put together and welll said. I have the exact same watch in the medium the true size I feel it should be. One small mistake in the video though it's not 34mm it 35.1. And because a square wears bigger then a circle watch. It wears like a 38mm.👍🏾
Thank you!
You are right, I remebered it is smaller in diameter than the explorer. The explorer is 35.5 and in my mind, the santos was smaller :D
And yes, it wears way bigger because of the rectangle aspect.
Beautiful watch has a masculine look to it, the crown all them screws also screams engineer. A true gem for a watch lover I was once told every true collector has a Cartier
It is a beauty, indeed! The crown, indeed pretty enginner'ish with a cabuchon sapphire :)
I loved that video. Watch shots are perfect and the storytelling is great. Well done!
Thank you :)
Such a perfect watch! So much history behind this watch. My goal watch! Congrats!
It is worth be considered as a goal watch, indeed! Thank you Jay!
The ability to make a watch/ non watch video is wonderful. The depth of your meaning in this video is awesome.
It’s not often I subscribe to a channel in the first two minutes of the first video I watch. This is excellent content .
Brilliant video, extremely well done. The Cartier De santos really suits you. It’s definitely a watch on my radar.
Thank you twice, Richard :)
Wow, i knew it from the eyes, and the accent that there was something familiar since i started following your channel, but i wasn't sure. Now after this video i understood what should have been obvious from the start. All i can say is...misto.
Great video btw. Dealing with the same issues during the pandemic, but very far away.
Spotted haha! Multumesc mult :)
I just went through some hard times and had to sell my patek nautilus 5712r moon phase rose gold. I had bought the watch wrong from a dishonest dealer. I just ordered the Santos de Cartier in rose gold 2022 I never liked Cartier. Thought it was just jewelry. But I'm so excited to get it now and due to helpful videos like this I am completely enthralled. I won't miss my royal oaks or my nautilus. Cartier is the future and my future on my life reboot. Thank you!
I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of amzwatch. Their watches are of exceptional quality.
Lovely, so well shot, written and delivered.
Thank you :)
It has been very long since any video resonated with me this much. Fantastic work. Thank you!
Thank you Martin :)
Your video popped up on TH-cam Studio as the top content suggesting one of my own videos - and having watched it, I can see why. The major difference however is that your video footage & content is far superior to anything I have done, or might be able to pull together. It’s inspiring. Chapeau ! Thank you and well done. Please keep making these videos. 🙏
Absolutely brilliant video mate. I have been thinking of adding a Santos to my collection. Great food for thought! Keep up the good work
Thank you Matthew! :)
I bought this exact watch one year ago and never regretted it!
haha, true, no regrets! :)
Great content sir, it's funny how these little thing we wear on our wrists can change us with their stories and presence. As i have gotten older I find my tastes have changed and iam more interested in these stories, history is more important to me than flash. I think Cartier is under appreciated as a watch maker, but their attention to detail is amazing as you documented in this video and the lines are near perfect so there is no need to change it. Iam looking to purchase the 0037 as i love the idea of the rubber strap with the iconic rivets as a casual wear and then the bracelet for more formal occasions, i think their catalog has something for everyone. Keep up the good work and continued success in the years to come.
0037 is a fine piece, that one was the spark that ignited in me the passion for Cartier, but the attention turned towards the ''youtube special'' the medium one. I will try to grab the 37 model as well, IF prices will stop going up that fast. Thank you for your thoughts, Paulo!
@@BraveBeaters i agree with the price I have been saving for the last year, and have noticed the the price just stays ahead of my savings. what are your thoughts on the Masse Mystérieuse unvieled this year at Watches and Wonders? i think it's an amazing piece, too large for my wrist, and outside my price range but something unexpected from Cartier.
I always felt like Cartier Tank looks more feminine than masculine and tbh I am still not drawn to it. That initial feeling made me disregard Cartier in general. But after watching this video, I am now second guessing myself. This Santos just look really handsome! Maybe it's the production of this video, but you definitely showcased this watch better than Cartier's own website! It might be something I would wear one day, who knows! My wrist size is around 7 inch and I think I prefer that medium size as well!
One of the best cartier videos on the web. I love it so much, but i really couldn't pull it off with my style. What am i talking about?? I have no style ...
Cartier Santos is "all styles" can work in any circumstances! :)
By far your best video till now! Great presentation :) 5 stars! And yes it happened to me too with my Tudor BB Pro
Thank you Stephen! Wow that's nice! Hope you enjoy it! :)
It’s a beautiful watch and I’m considering buying the medium automatic. The funny thing is that my Rolex explorer fits better in my casual way of dress and my simple life, but on the other hand I find the combination of the Santos and a t shirt awesome 😎
Yearly bonus time is coming up and I was looking at the Omega sapphire sandwich Moonwatch, but after buying a Cartier Tank Must for my wife at Christmas and seeing how well it fits, how good it looks and how well it's made I am seriously considering a Santos for myself. The blue PVD version looks absolutely stunning. The quick change strap and bracelet systems are a big plus.
The blue one is very cool!!
Great video as usual!!! What a grail watch the Santos. I agree on every single consideration, and medium is my choice as well...if I will ever have the chance to buy it. Continue with these amazing contents!!!
Thank you very much, yes, we can call it a Grail, well said! It is worth looking for one, I see that they are getting more and more expensive...
@@BraveBeaters ...I will have to start chasing one ASAP then!!! Thank you for providing the right excuse!! 😂😂
Epic video - its a classic design and I would love one, but would worry about scratching, such a thing of beauty
You are right, It's solid but the reflex is to protect it from potential scratches on the bezel.
This video gives me chills and emotions… I adore and own this watch but with this video you really gave to the experience another level. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
The impression that the Santos had on you, being an "aspirational object" that somehow moved you to align yourself with the beauty and order that this watch exudes, is the very same effect your video is having on me. That "You must change your life" of Rilke, somehow. Thank you.
Correct and well said. I have to remembrer this :)
Got the same watch. The santos is elegant and mesmerizing.
This is a living matter, the philosophy of life is very lively and the story keeps its rhythm. The watch is beautiful and the most important thing is that it is inspiring! Thank you for the energy of this video! I saw something here for myself and perhaps I’ll leave it with me. Thank you..
We love material things because we lack the capacity to appreciate the limited time we have with our loved ones. We all want to be loved. You don't need a watch to be loved. Do what you love but don't justify it to people you don't know because people who don't know you will never love you if they never spent time to get to know you.
There is truth in what you wrote there, agree :)
Great video. Your channel has become a TH-cam must, amongst fewer each day. Outstanding content.
Haha, great words, thank you Sir! :)
Excellent video, well done. I own a Carrier Santos 100 XL Chronograph and like it very much. Keep up the great content.
UU, that's a beauty! Thank you very much :)
Wow, the quality of the video, the story sharing, the lost years we all experienced that’s relatable. Enjoy watching it through and through.
I had few existing watches accompanying me through the confusing and lost months, and job too. Keeping me sane locking inside the house.
Particularly a watch that was bought at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown couple with the political turmoil in the country. Unique, not expansive, robust, in-house.
Have a great day!
Thank you!! :) I am sorry to hear about the job.
Hope eveything got back to normal. Stay safe!
I never knew about the method for changing straps,such a great design and another fantastic video
Thank you Ross, the system is very cool, yes :)
Well done! This is a great video. I've never given the Santos much thought, but after watching your video, I think it's going to be my next watch purchase.
Thank you David! It is a great watch to have on the radar :) especially now that the prices are going up
Bai, Andrei, scratch that!, Domnule Andrei, esti foarte, foarte, fooaaarte bun! Felicitari sincere!
Great video and exceptional production quality. As many others I started my watch collection with something robust, the Omega SMP 300, back in 2008. Having just one watch at the beginning it is useful if that piece is versatile and can be worn at almost every occasion. With the majority of my small collection being more on the sporty side last year I felt that it was time to add something different to it and I bought a Cartier Tank Americaine in medium size. And it is truly different. It doesn't live by technical specifications or the latest innovation. Yes, it keeps time reliably as a good watch should but first and foremost it is a piece of jewellery, a piece of art. Whenever I put it on my wrist it elevates my mood.
This is the perfect first luxury watch for any one
it was :( it's getting more and more expensive ...
Great video! Loved the channel before but it feels like you took it to the next level with this one!
Thank you Leo! Now we have to figure it out how to keep it up :))
During lockdown and the working from home period, I was buying more casual watches. Now that I’m back in a suit, I’m buying more formal watches.
Amazing timepiece. Great review. Thank you. Another watch to be added to wish list. So many great watches and only one wrist to wear:)👍
Haha. True words, Danny!
Heavily considering this exact watch. Thank you for your interpretation. I’ve been enjoying your channel for sometime. Brilliant. Informative content. 😎👍🏼
The WSSA0037 is so different one can definitely have both and not be considered mad.
Fully agree! :)
On the list for a future purchase! :D
Quite the work of art, this video :)
Multumesc, Alexandra! :)
The first Flieger. Beautiful watch, and a marvellous video, Brave. Wear it in good health!
On a Hublot note,there is a scammer in the replies...☹
Great stuff! You just have a great manner to say some principal truths in a totally off-hand matter, that is so lovely! I had (and still have) a similar experience with Slim d´Hermes. You might have a good long look at that one too, but please, not on the photo, go to the boutique and have it in your hand. You might buy it right away. As I will Santos. Once I decide which one... Soon...
Thank you very much! :) Slim d'Hermes is a handsome, elegant watch! Worth all the love! :)
Money well spent @Cartier! Love the new ad!
:) Cheers!
I would think many of us will have the dillema of choosing between medium and Large. I choose the Large as its less elegant which suits my daily, casual dressing more. However I do wish there is an inbetween size!
agree! I think a 37 mm version would had been cool
Îmi place, îmi place! Tot așa!
Multumesc, Alex! :)
Fantastic video. This is a very interesting one for me, as I have been looking at this watch lately. My daily watch is a 41 mm Submariner that although I adore it most days, I work in a profession that involves client meetings and nicer attire. So I would never wear it with a suit or rarely business casual. And I manage people’s money, so I don’t want to look too loud. This watch that I currently own and wear is wonderful as a sports watch, but does not suit any business type dress. I feel as though the Santos will do double duty in that, as you’ve illustrated from your beautiful videos. It looks great with a blazer, and it looks great dressed up or down.
Fully agree! The santos takes over from the sub the businss casual context indeed! Thank you :)
As you getting older you start building self-confidence noticing things around you more then usual.
It is normal :)
Damn. I am getting older :( fact
What a review. Love it! This is my dream watch.
Lovely storyboard put into life. :)
Thank you! :)
Opened this video for the 2nd time on my TV because my PC has adblocker and your channel deserves the support. Production quality is amazing! Keep going!
Cartier never really did it for me. My mom always went on about them so I thought they were more of a watch for women...and then I saw that same black dial XL Santos and I fell in love. Amazing video! Thank you for sharing!
I like how you wove an interesting personally emotional angle into a watch review. Very cool and interesting
Thank you Paul :)
@@BraveBeaters you’re welcome. God bless
Amazing video, my Pasha 38mm changed my life, even now I make my own custom leather straps. Fabulous combination of colors in your look!
Super nice!!
Your best video! This exactly Santos is on my list. You gave me an extra motivation. :)
There is definitely something extremely elegant about the Santos on that bracelet.
It is indeed, I love it on the leather as well, it totally transforms it :)
Beautiful watch and beautifully made video ❤️👍
Thank you ❤️
To answer the closing question, yes, when i bought my Leica months ago. Often i worry this anchor of motivation will fade only to find myself making another purchase for that high.
I just realized why I like this watch so much. It reminds me of a g-shock.
A very well articulated view on the how your journey progressed towards Cartier. Very well narrated, produced and edited. The complexity of the video should be applauded given the simple message that it sends. It may be a very long time until I have the chance to purchase a Cartier Santos but I can yearn for one, and it would be the medium for my 7" wrist. Maybe someday I'll be in a position to get one and that sounds like a good goal for me to aim for. Many thanks for sharing.
I appreciate your words Anthony! Thank you! It is worth looking for one, the prices are increasing lately ...
@@BraveBeaters Prices may increase beyond my justification right now but I can still appreciate the elegance of the watch from afar. There are many watches that I would love to own that are either not obtainable or that I can not afford or justify but I can still appreciate the deign, effort and engineering that has gone into them. As they say time will tell on the next purchase. Once again thank you for sharing a great video.
Great content, I love this kind of content within horological community
thank you :)
I always loved your style and your very well elaborated thought process when it comes to reason why and what you love about a watch and its design. You chose the right size and model and I highly agree on your reasoning about it. It really fits you and I start to consider buying it too in the future. And yes our watches should accompany our stages in life and reflect them. Sometimes a little into the future sometimes a little lagging behind…😅
Wise words Sir! :D
It is worth considering one, especially now that the prices are going up and up.
Thank you very much :)
Wow. Just wow.
I own this watch in this size. I understand your passion for the piece. And you articulate it so well.
