  • Cartier fan girl is here to do an unnecessary dissection of the Santos de Cartier VS the Cartier Santos Dumont. Which is BEST?
    To me, the clear winner was the Santos de Cartier. Bracelet, better specifications, mechanical. Easy choice, right? Yes, and no. Because it was the Dumont that I went home thinking about and I couldn't get off my mind! Everything about the wearing experience of the Santos Dumont suited me more than the Santos de Cartier. WEIRD RIGHT?! Isn't it weird when a watch does that.
    But I might be having second thoughts. I kinda can't stop thinking about the Santos de Cartier again.
    This video is me unnecessarily over thinking my choice about the Dumont and weighing the pros and cons of both of these watches.

    Love that someone gives the Dumont some attention on RUclips! There is so much hype around the Santos (justified as well) but the Dumont basically never gets mentioned. I think for me the silver sunburst dial and how slim it is make it really stand out. I was intending to get the Santos at first too but when I tried the Dumont it just felt incredible on the wrist.
    I love how unassuming and subtle it is.

    Being a watch geek, I must say that I appreciate your use of watch props. Just as watches can be seen as antiquated technology since the use of cell phones and smart watches became so popular, books and printed advertisements seem to have fallen from grace in the same way. I personally love the tactile nature of real objects in hand. The feel and sound of watches, the smell of a leather strap, the weight and presence of a book and the feel of paper in hand adds to the reality of the art and essence that allows you to feel the emotion of what you desire and adds to the appreciation for what you have in hand. It changes the abstract to reality through touch. Seeing something on a screen is not the same as having it in hand. I appreciate the quality of your videos and how you present the story of each watch you discuss. Keep up the good work!

    Thanks, Britt. I enjoyed that. I bought a Santos de Cartier large grey back in February and could not be happier. Not long after, I went back to my AD and bought a Tank Must XL. In short, I find Cartier watches are incredibly sharp and versatile. IMHO,…no other brand comes close to Cartier. Forget supply and demand, market share, etc., etc., Cartier stands alone in so many ways.

  • @oo7kamikaze

    Personally I'm lusting after the large, gray dial Santos with the DLC bezel. I think that really tones down the bling factor and avoids the scratch issues that plague the polished steel bezel. It also comes with a rubber strap if you want to tone it down even more and gain a bit more everyday usability. Plus you get the added benefit of lume on the Roman numeral indices. I never even considered it til I tried one on and now I'm obsessed by it.

    I went to my Cartier AD this past week to buy either the Santos de Cartier or the Santos Dumont, I left with a large Tank Must. Yes, I was surprised as well. The Santos pieces are incredible but while trying them on I realized that I'm burnt out on steel sports watches. Am I alone on that? Anyway, maybe I would have purchased one if I was just starting my collection but the last thing I need in my collection is another steel sports watch. When I tried on the Tank, it was instant love. The dimensions, design and that dial...man, that dial. It's just a lovely piece. It can also be easily dressed up or down with a quick strap change. And for $2600 (my AD gave me a little discount), it's a decent value. I even said to my AD, what else would you recommend for a dressier watch around this price point. We walked around the entire store and didn't find a single piece. The Santos range is nice, but don't overlook the Tank.

    I know it’s changing the subject but I just bought a Bulgari solotempo 35 mm on bracelet. The most minimalist version, with silver white dial, only one bulgari logo Below the 12. Also has no logo endlinks. I have to say the quality is absolutely high. I feel it is in the same league as a quartz cartier. I have the quartz large santos dumont and they look at the same level. A treasure for the person who likes this watch as i do.

    It's very refreshing to have a watch channel that consistently features watches that aren't dive watches. And yes, sports watches don't require 1000m of water resistance and a timing bezel. It's also surprising how most of us can get by with 30m of water resistance. My daily is 7mm thick, highly polished and after 5 years of office wear has zero scratches -- why would I need something designed for spelunking on my wrist? I'm very happy to be in the (apparent) minority. Love Cartier too, so your videos are proving way too tempting...

    • @BrittPearceWatches
      @BrittPearceWatches  Год назад

      Oh my goodness! We are two peas in a pod! I couldn’t agree more! People reaalllllly think they need more from a daily wear than they actually do! 😂🙈 Look. You don’t need 300m water resistance to get you through your day selling insurance & driving your kids to soccer practice. 😜 I wear my Santos as my daily wear, and it truly meets all of my needs! I even wear it cycling most days! 😂🙈 and it is fine!

    • @cesarrocha3138
      @cesarrocha3138 Год назад

      Absolutely right! Tell me ONE diver that uses an mechanical watch to dive!!! Diving lower than 30-40m is VERY rare and requires a lot of top end equipment to calculate depth, decompression, oxygen levels etc… Nowadays mechanical watches are to tell the time! Anything else there are a better quartz watch

  • @floydmorrison2025
    @floydmorrison2025 Год назад +7

    I love both too, but you made the right choice, as I think that the Dumont really suits your style. The combination of the gold bezel, blued hands and black strap just work together in such perfect harmony. "Hair not working"?!? PLEASE! Girl, those curls are flowing like a waterfall...you're trying to bring Farrah Fawcett back! Between the hair, style & beauty, I'm getting big time Lily James vibes. Cool video, congrats on the Cartier!

    Oddly I went the other way, went looking at the Dumont this past week and ended up leaving with a large De Cartier with a white dial. Undoubtedly both beautiful watches but the sportier stye and the awesome bracelet did me in, not to mention the spare quick change strap and the automatic manufacture movement. It feels like something I can wear anywhere, and is sooo comfy on the wrist, so far I love it! That all said, I also found the Dumont a bit too "slight" for my wrist and prabably a bit too dressy for my lifestyle.

    Only 3 weeks ago Britt, I went to my so called local AD, here in Melbourne, Australia to pick up a Tudor 1926, with Opaline dial. The big mistake was taking my 24 year old daughter who is somewhat OBSESSED with Cartier. After I bought the Tudor, the salesman was kind enough to indulge said daughter with trying some 8-12 different Cartiers! Brandy was already spending her inheritance.🤣 In between I tried the Santos with a steel blue dial! It was stunning!😍🤤 P.s. I’m not telling, my girl!🤫😉

  • @nataliegraham1218
    @nataliegraham1218 Год назад +9

    I obsessed over both these watches, eventually tried both on in store and neither suited my small wrist 😢 Desperate to still have a Cartier having sold a vintage Tag and a newer Nomos, I decided a Ballon Bleu would be my goal but couldn’t shake the feeling I was settling, and that it was a bit too Kate Middleton-y 🤷‍♀️ Then I found the older Santos Galbée and recently bought a beautifully maintained one with the guilloche dial and date. For me it’s absolute perfection and the best possible compromise style and spend wise 😊

  • @JamesBardolphCS

    The SDC bezel is a scratch magnet - some people can handle it some people cannot. It;'s really weird though that, if you are in the light you can see the marks, if you move to the shade they kind of disappear! Real weird.
    After selling my Hulk the SDC scratches my bracelet itch - I have a Pelagos LHD but the rubber strap is SO GOOD I might never put it on the bracelet again. Yes the Pelagos bracelet is great however on the springy bit it can be a bit too huggy in an oppressively loving way.
    I suppose the SDC bracelet does not have micro adjustments because of the butterfly clasp (that's what it's called right). I can compromise for the beauty of it but in the summer when my wrist goes phat I would prefer a micro adjust! SDC on the leather is a different look to a tank - in what way I'm not sure yet as I've worn it on the leather once. I bought all my Cartiers in selfridges and because they have a no exotic leather policy Cartier can only give you leather straps in calf skin, mostly smooth (not all though). So you don't get croc straps there for example. They're doing a green croc strap for my SDC though (the bond st branch), once that comes I'll give it more of a go. Gold bracelet is great but sometimes too much!
    I'm surprised that laquered gold Cartier Santos is available on the website, I'm going to see if I can inspect on IRL :o

    Hi Britt,
    Thanks for the great video.
    Yes, completely agree. I tried on both and loved both (medium no date that is), but if I were to purchase one today, it would be the Dumont. However, I decided not to purchase it this time. As it is summer and I do not have any waterproof watches, I have decided to buy a used Panerai Luminor, ref 0333 on the bracelet. In the future, I will either buy the Dumont or a reverso.
    Thanks again for your great content.

    As an owner of the Santos, Santos Dumont and Tank it is difficult to pick the one I like best. The Santos is more sporty, the Dumont is dressy and the Tank is just plain cool (I have the Must Blue). If I had to pick one, it would probably be the Santos. I prefer watches on a bracelet overall. Doesn't James still have the Santos? You can share. So easy with the quick bracelet adjustment.

    The Santos Dumont is easily the most attractive Cartier. Elegant. Stylish. Understated. With the polished silver color bezel. Price? It’s a personal statement. A dressy accessory. As long as your family isn’t starving to pay for it, buy what you like. [So now we know. Watch-Papi is actually Dish-Papi. 🤣🤣🤣] Hats? You look cute in a hat.

    I'm about to buy the cartier Santos doumont and I have the big doubt that being bi color I feel that putting a metal strap would look weird. But on the other hand the Cartier santos has that versatility that with any strap looks good. I do not know what you think about it, I'm going crazy.

    Didn’t watch papi buy the santos? You can just wear both - easy to resize with the bracelet system!

    No No.. I feel the Dumont I a better looking watch and probably the one id like to wear more. Or instead maybe I might go for a vintage Santos instead. Quartz or not is fine either way.

    I do not have a Cartier, The Santos has been on my want list for a very long time but just never quite got to the top of it for one reason or another. The Tank is another one that never yet made it to the top. My list now just mentions Cartier watch such that if I decide to make a purchase I'll be in the same position that you were, I'd have to make a decision. I have no issue with quartz movements, set it and forget it is quite nice sometimes, other times a manual wind adds that connection to a piece. For now I'm happy not to have to make that decision.

    Wow that bracelet does seem really nice. Your right though not enough people give enough thought to bracelets or clasps.

    For me it's a two-tone Santos-Dumont on the two-tone bracelet all day, every day. Although I am a sucker for a Panthere!

    Yeh no more Squash with Tod I am going to get into my Volvo and get a Santos-Dumont damnit! 😂
    ….great video and I fully agree on the sports watch definition which is much closer to what it used to be in the day. Owned a S-D in the past and now want one again. Much because the way it wears and looks on the wrist. On paper the Santos is a killer though!
    Phew! That was a long way of saying; thanks and great vid! 😅

    Hey Britt, this video is awesome. I have the same thoughts on these 2 watches. I could have bought the Santos de Cartier many times over but never felt that it looked good on the wrist. Till this day i still dont now why…..and as you said, all the specs on paper should justify that the Santos de Cartier should be the watch to buy…but on the wrist, it just didn’t look right for me. But when i tried the Santos Dumont, it just looked right….again i cant explain it. So after watching your video, I finally think i know why….its the bracelet/strap. I love how a leather strap creates a contrast and focuses on the square case of the Santos. It makes the watch look less chunky in my opinion. If you get to try the Santos de Cartier again, try it on a leather strap (and maybe do a follow up video on this) and let us know. As for me, i still cannot justify buying a quarts at this price point. So ill wait till i cant try the Santos de Cartier on a leather strap and see how i feel about it (in theory, it should be the perfect combo and the one that might make you fully go on board with deciding on which Santos to pull the trigger on). Cheers from Malaysia.

    Santos de Cartier for me…I’m a bracelet guy, and a little biased…The Santos Dumont looks perfect on your wrist.

    Delugs does make "Cartier Santos" straps. However, the quality is not as good. The stitching is ok, but the quality if the material is not even in the same category. The OEM is much sticker hides with better sheen.I have five OEM straps and 2 Delugs straps.

    I'm currently deciding which one i want to get. I love the Dumont for the more dressier look, but the Santos de Cartier still has its own place. I'll probably get both . But for my current collection, it lacks a dressier watch. But still i want to go to a boutique and try both, to make the final decision.

    The 2 tone is so much warmer and the black band is a better fit imo :)

    Britt, you are so right about the Octofinissimo. I tried two of them on at the Bvlgari store and they just didn't look right. I appreciate them so much for making something different and astetheically pleasing but it just didn't look right on my wrist.

  • @MichaelPhelpsMedia

    I have the large Santos de Cartier in SS, white dial. I wear it as a "dress" watch (with 7.6 in. wrists it fits me like a 36-38 on average wrists). I like it so much I'm thinking of getting the black or blue PVD version as a daily wearer. My daily watch now is the SD43 MKII...sometimes a bit big for long sleeve cuffs. 1st world problems...I know...PS: always enjoy your videos.

    It did need to be said. Sick to death of astronaut/soldier/pilot/frogman marketing. Got the Santos de Cartier in 35mm for a very large subset of the thoughts you had on the subject. Oh. I do recommend a dishwasher.

    The on the wrist comment really landed for me. I really loved the Santos de Cartier, but on my wrist the medium felt tiny and the large felt positively gigantic. I really wanted something in the middle.

    the issue with the Santos Cartier it's a cratch magnet. It then becomes a big mess. That is an other reason why the Santos Dumont is probably better

    You're true about everything. Still I felt in love first with the SD and ended with a Santos😉 as I have a Tank Louis for dressing. Perfectly match my life style with its 10 atm WR, bracelet and leather strap. Cured me definitely from my interest in Rolex. Your SD is absolutely gorgeous !!!
