Versatile and Elegant
Any Santos watch by Cartier is going to be both elegant and versatile. The thing about timepieces is that they are one of the few accessories that combines form and function into the same piece. This means you get a useful accessory that allows you to stay punctual, but it will also pull your look together and give you sophistication you might not otherwise have. These watches look great with pretty much any type of fashion for any occasion. There aren’t really any other accessories that can boast this.
You can easily pair one of these watches with a well-fitting business suit or a formal suit for a special occasion. Conversely, you can also pair these watches with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt or even a sporty outfit for a day of hoops with the guys. What other high-end accessories can do all this? This is why style icons all sport high-end watches. They look great with everything and you get an instant style and elegance to go along with it. Why not look amazing and put together, even if you are just going to the grocery store?
The Cartier Difference
Cartier has a long history of making some of the finest jewelry available in the world. Their association with royalty has also helped to make their name. When many people think of luxury, Cartier is a brand they think of. They got their start with fine gemstones and quickly would move into the world of high-end jewelry design and later watchmaking. Their options include a huge range of differnet kinds of pieces, from high-end watches to engagement rings.
And with a Santos watch by Cartier, you get the peace of mind of Swiss-born engineering and craftsmanship. The country has a long reputation as being one of the finest watchmaking regions in the world and that tradition continues to this day. This means that every Cartier watch is handmade to the highest standards of construction.
Not only are these cutting-edge timepieces that feature fine handcraftsmanship, but they are also elegant works of art you can wear on your wrist. And Cartier only sources the finest materials so only the finest gemstones and purest metal make the proverbial cut. This is why the company is so highly regarded by so many. These pieces have a quality of design that is apparent to the naked eye.
The Cartier Santos Line
The Santos line of watches is one of the most popular on offer by Cartier. The design was originally for a friend of the company and this is where the line got its name. He was an aviator and was in need of a watch that was durable, reliable, and precise. That is exactly what you get with the Santos line of watches. This line is a unique blend of form and function. You get beautiful aesthetics, as well as a watch that has complex and reliable inner workings.
Just think about it, the last thing a pilot needs is a watch that can’t withstand the elements or that is unreliable. And even if you aren’t a pilot, you too can still appreciate a reliable, durable, and comfortable timepiece. There have been many iterations of this watch line over the years, but certain elements like the visible screws and the unique shape of the dial remain the same. You can find models that come in a wide range of different materials, with different colors, and even different bracelet styles. And, as we mention earlier, you can also select aftermarket additions to really personalize your timepiece.
Buss Down Watches
A buss down watch is one that has aftermarket additions, most often diamonds. The Santos buss down watch by Cartier is truly a sight to behold. Not only does the watch have all the elements that make this line of watches so iconic and popular, but you also get the addition of a lot of bold, sparkly diamonds. And who doesn’t like diamonds?
Just because the watch is meant for durability and reliability doesn’t mean it can’t be glamorous and this is just what you get with the buss down Santos. We recently got in a really unique buss down version of this watch that is truly bold and eye-catching. It is the perfect option for someone who has an edgy taste and wants something that is bold, yet also elegant. The watch features pave-style black diamonds which gives the piece a dramatic elegance, unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
There are many different brands that are amenable to buss down options and the Santos line by Cartier takes on these beautiful stones wonderfully.
Black Diamonds
Not everyone knows that diamonds come in more colors than just white. In fact, there is a whole rainbow of what jewelers call fancy colored diamonds. These stones feature the hardness that diamonds are known for but come in a wide range of different colors. This lets you have the versatility and durability of the diamond, while not sacrificing your love of color. Perhaps the boldest of all these colorful diamonds is the black diamond.
These are rich, deep, and dark diamonds that have a depth, unlike any other stone. They have a bold look and feel and are not for the faint of heart. But, they aren’t as sparkly as white diamonds, but they do confer a bit of sparkle. Black diamonds are an eye-catching stone that isn’t something you see every day. Our recent acquisition of a black diamond Cartier Santos buss down watch is the perfect option for someone who wants something bold, eye-catching, and truly unique.
The entirety of the watch features high-grade black diamonds. From the dial to the bezel, from the bracelet to the closure, diamonds are everywhere on this watch. This isn’t for the faint of heart and is a great choice for those with edgy, urban, and bold style.
Pave-Style Stones
The black diamonds that feature on this buss down version of the Cartier Santos watch are pave-style stones. Pave is French for pavement. Basically what this means is that tiny stones will feature in a continuous row around the piece. These tiny diamonds give the piece a daintier look and feel and also allow the black diamonds to sparkle a lot more than other cuts and shapes.
These tiny diamonds are popular for many reasons. They give the watch a shine and they allow you to use incredibly small diamonds in even the smallest nooks and crannies of the timepiece. Pave-style stones are popular in a wide range of jewlery but aren’t seen as often on timepieces, which is a shame. Black pave-style diamonds blend with the elegance and sophistication of the Santos watch to create something that is bold, elegant, and surprisingly versatile.
The use of pave-style stones in this buss down watch is a unique way to add as many diamonds as possible to the piece. The tiny stones give the watch an elegant, yet bold, look and feel that is incredibly unique and unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere. The black diamond, especially when cut into the pave-style, is really a sight to behold.
Unique and One-of-a-Kind
We all want to have our own personal style and signature look. And there really is no better way to do this than to have a custom or one-of-a-kind piece. With a buss down version of the Cartier Santos watch, you get just that. You get the versatile elegance and comfort the Santos line of watches has built their reputation on. But you also get something that nobody else has. The aftermarket addition of fine gemstones or other elements allows you to take something that is already gorgeous and personalize it to your exact tastes.
With a timepiece that has personalization, you get the peace of mind of quality design that Cartier has a reputation for. But you also get something different from what Cartier has to offer. While they have elegant models and even those that feature high-grade diamonds, none of them feature pave-style black diamonds. These tiny, deeply-hued stones are incredibly unique and give the watch a look and feel that is hard to beat. Bold and eye-catching, this watch is also truly one-of-a-kind with its unique aftermarket additions.
Bold and Eye-Catching
Some of us have more traditional style and taste, whereas others have an edgier and bolder sense of fashion. While both may be drawn to a high-end timepiece, what they are looking for in terms of design is going to be very different. The great thing about a buss down version of the Cartier Santos watch is that you can actually combine traditional design elements with something bold and really unique. The black diamond is a dramatic gemstone and isn’t for everyone. It is dark, bold, and eye-catching and anything that it features will also have these characteristics.
If you have an edgy, trendy, or urban style, black diamonds are a great way to accentuate this style. You get the elegance and class of diamonds, but with the stark color difference. Whereas white diamonds are sparkly and glitzy, black diamonds are dramatic and dark. Both will catch the eye but will have very different effects on the viewer.
With a buss down watch that features black diamonds, you get that timeless elegance and glamour of a high-end timepiece. But you also get something bold, eye-catching, and one-of-a-kind. It is no wonder that the black diamond is gaining in popularity amongst those with bold style.
In Closing
A high-end timepiece is one of the most versatile accessories on the market. It is perhaps the only accessory that can easily move from day to night, from casual to formal, with ease. A watch looks great with pretty much anything. From a well-fitting suit to a casual ensemble, a Cartier Santos watch is going to elevate and accentuate your look. You’ll be amazed at how many different styles and looks these watches work with.
For those who want something truly unique, the black diamond buss down version of the Santos watch by Cartier is a great option. It features pave-style black diamonds that are of the highest possible quality. These bold, dramatic dark stones cover the entirety of the watch from the dial to the closure clasp. These deeply-colored stones give the timepiece a one-of-a-kind bold, and eye-catching look that is unlike anything you’ll see anywhere else.
What better way to create a signature look than with a timeless high-end watch that has the aftermarket addition of fine diamonds? And black diamonds are far less common than white diamonds, so you are bound to attract the attention of anyone who sees you wearing this watch. Since the black diamonds are an aftermarket addition, you can also be sure that nobody else will have a watch quite like yours.
