Your Cartier Santos Large and a smartwatch: what fits

In short Smartlet One does not fit the Cartier Santos Large references (0 of 23 in our base): its bracelet and straps attach through the Cartier QuickSwitch system rather than standard spring bars. Below, the watches that do fit, with your smartwatch underneath.

Our compatibility base checks the Cartier Santos Large reference by reference, and the answer is mostly no: its bracelet and straps attach through the Cartier QuickSwitch system rather than standard spring bars. If you love this watch, keep it on its own strap. For dual wear, look at the Cartier Tank Louis or Tank Must Large, or a Santos-Dumont: Smartlet One fits them on standard spring bars.

The solution
For dual wear, choose the Cartier Tank Louis or Tank Must Large, or a Santos-Dumont: Smartlet One fits them on standard spring bars, your watch on top and your smartwatch underneath.

Cartier Santos de Cartier Large models supported

The Santos was the first wristwatch designed by Louis Cartier for Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904, who needed to check his watch while flying. The exposed screws, the square case, the integrated bracelet all functional, all now iconic. History and technology on one wrist.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

  • Does Smartlet work with the Cartier Santos Large?
    Not for most references: none of the 23 Cartier Santos Large references in our base fit Smartlet One, because its bracelet and straps attach through the Cartier QuickSwitch system rather than standard spring bars. We would rather tell you now than after you order.
  • I own a Cartier Santos Large: what can I wear with a smartwatch?
    Keep the Cartier Santos Large on its own strap, and choose the Cartier Tank Louis or Tank Must Large, or a Santos-Dumont for the days you want your health data on the same wrist. Each fits Smartlet One on standard spring bars.
  • Does Smartlet damage or modify my mechanical watch?
    No. The watch adapters seat in your watch's lug holes in place of the spring bars. Nothing is modified on the case, lugs or dial, and the change is fully reversible: your mechanical watch can go back on its original strap at any time.
