Industrial Chic.
It’s the height of the 1980s—big hair, power suits, fast cars, and a skyline filled with ambition. The era radiates boldness and luxury, a time when people weren’t afraid to flaunt their success. The Cartier Santos Vendôme Ronde captures that exact energy.
This watch blends the geometric precision that defined the 1980s design ethos with touches of precious metal that reflect the culture of the era. Its 33mm two-tone case combines stainless steel and 18k gold, perfect for both formal and casual attire, whether it’s a tailored suit or a crisp tee and chinos.
Designed for men but versatile enough for women who appreciate a full size Cartier, this watch showcases the brand's unmistakable Santos design language—from the exposed screws to the chemin de fer railroad track on its classic white dial with Roman numerals.
What sets the Santos Vendôme Ronde apart is not just its design but its comfort: the bracelet feels almost feather-light, shimmering elegantly as each link catches the light, making it one of Cartier's most comfortable bracelets to wear. Beneath its exterior, it is powered by an accurate quartz movement that you won’t notice because of the absence of a seconds hand ticking away—just pure, uninterrupted style. It's incredibly thin as well.
As a mashup of three key historical Cartier releases—the Ronde, the Vendôme, and the Santos—this piece pays homage to Cartier’s heritage. The circular case, bullet-style lugs, and the signature exposed screws offer a perfect fusion of these models respectively. With its accessible price point, it makes the Cartier Santos Vendôme Ronde one of the best-value two-tone watches available today.
