The Cartier Santos Octagon that arrived today is a masterpiece from the 1980s.
This was Cartier's first stainless steel watch with an octagonal bezel.
This is a popular design based on the screws known as the "Love Bracelet," one of Cartier's symbols.
Compared to today's watches, it is very small and is an LM size that is close to women's sizes.
That is why the Santos Octagon is popular not only with men but also with women.
Its practicality and high design are the reasons why it is still chosen even though production has ended.
This distinctive design has an atmosphere that is not seen today.
A watch that makes you feel like you're in the 1980s.
In the 1980s, not only watches but also cars and motorcycles were
The design is a mix of angular and rounded,
Many of them give a glimpse of individual ideas that are not unified.
Here too, the imbalance of the round glass on the angular bezel and case is eye-catching.
The vintage Ferraris and Mercedes Benzes that run through the city are a mix of angular and rounded models.
What makes them so eye-catching is not only that they were cutting edge at the time,
This may be because they chose a design that will be remembered for generations to come.
Personally, I'm interested in cars from the 1980s, but the maintenance costs are...
I don't think there was much thought put into the clock,
I think it's the size that makes this design so appealing.
If this were any larger, I'm sure it wouldn't be appealing.
It even feels that way.
However, regarding the maintenance of the watch,
In fact, it won't cost much more than what you have now.
People tend to think that repairs are expensive because it is an old watch, but
Older watches tend to be more well-made, so
Unless something extraordinary happens, the cost of a regular overhaul will usually cover the costs.
But even though it is durable, don't forget to perform regular maintenance!
Although it is a watch that has been handled a lot in the past,
The number of specimens in good condition is decreasing every year.
This particular one is relatively clean,
Don't miss this too!
