There’s a certain warmth and familiarity to these videos you don’t find in other watch channels - production quality is perfect - presentation has honesty and style - nothing pretentious or opinionated - it all feels so effortless - an antidote to a typical day

The quality of this video is out of this world.

Thank you for making this video. It really hit home as the Cartier Santos represents a transition in my life - After having owned some of the most sought after Rolex models and various watches from other brands, my watch journey has brought me to a point where I am no longer worried about the financial aspect of a purchase. The current state of my collection reflects my personality, my wants and it doesn't pay attention to those that require a specific brand on the wrist. While I can immediately purchase the Santos, I'm enjoying the chase and the thrill of the hunt. Quietly putting a few hundred dollars aside every week and treating this acquisition as a reminder of the immense privilege of being able to afford an icon.

My father wore a Santos, so it's engrained in my mind as the watch of a business man. The fact that it didn't get dragged into the stainless steel hype means I can still wear it as a business man. If there's one thing you never want your wrist to show when you walk into a room to make a deal, it's that you're willing to overpay for something for your ego.

Wow! What can I say … I am blown away…. First about the watch and the way YOU presented it: I am secretly admiring the Santos and I can say I watched almost all videos on YT. By far yours offer the best explanation and perspective! Thanks for that and I will for sure at some point in my watch collecting journey, will own one! Secondly about YOUR video skills, story telling, engaging abilities and respect shown to us, the viewers… I am subscribed to this channel almost from the begining and watched all your videos (some of them 2 or 3 times :) ). In my opinion, there was, is and will be a continus improvement of your work with increasing content quality and I admire you for the determination, level of involvement and attention to details. This video, is a clear proof to me that you have a tremendous potential to become one of the best watch channels that speaks his own mind, from the heart, with no biased mindset and no hidden agenda! Bravo and thanks!

The way you have just done this video is simply stunning. I look at watch videos every single day, i study every night about watches, it has become a hobby and an addiction yet i have never seen a video that transmits so much soul and emotion about one single timepiece. This video was almost existential about life itself. It made me want to reinvent myself. I want to congratulate you on the making of this video as well as the message your have sent out with it. Made me think and reflect and i am very impressed how you did all this in a mere 10 minutes. That video was true art. Well done. Please keep them coming. Thank you !

Sublime watching experience. This clip was next level for you. Really enjoy your evolution. This watch is on a completely different level than what I'd consider, but thankfully even a Seiko or Orient can be linked to an important event and be worn with true emotion. Keep this level of quality, Andrei!

I truly hear what you're saying here. I bought a Santos in October last year because after working from home and becoming ever more casual and ever more reclusive I finally said to my wife that I sorely miss culture and beauty in my life. I also went for the medium, and got an additional blue cordovan strap from Delugs in Singapore. On the same day, my wife got a Tank large on bracelet, and a camel strap from Delugs. So we could feel elegance once more. Let's just say that your video resonated quite a bit. To quote TGV: Onwards and upwards. 👍👍😉

I’ve always wanted to wear a Cartier but just don’t think I could pull it off… I completely lack any fashion sense and am not the kind of persona this watch would suit… This video has given me hope that maybe if I keep on working on myself I can one day achieve that dream of wearing a Cartier with confidence!

Instant subscribe! Oh dear, I might have to try this watch on at the boutique (again).

It is by far the best video I have seen on the Cartier Santos. Phenomenal work on your part

Fantastic vid. The subject resonates. I bought a Submariner back in the early '90s because it was mechanical and tough. I then became a diver and a marine biologist. The object became a thing and the thing inspired me. Objects can both transform and become more meaningful, but also transform us. The Santos is a beautiful watch and you certainly picked the right one! Where it well.

I got the Santos Galbee XL in November last year and I love it. The Santos is such a versatile watch, it obviously dresses up but works in casual attire too.

Cartier doesn't do it for me. That said, this may be my favorite video you've done. Your production quality is always a couple steps above other channels and this one was very creative. Your reasoning and emotional bravery combined for a window into you through classic watches. Great work. You're a huge asset in the watch community. As for me, it'll be Breguet when I make my first billion. 🙃Cheers from Florida! 😆

Love the storytelling and the sketching is just such a great touch ❤

Your video popped up on KZfaq Studio as the top content suggesting one of my own videos - and having watched it, I can see why. The major difference however is that your video footage & content is far superior to anything I have done, or might be able to pull together. It’s inspiring. Chapeau ! Thank you and well done. Please keep making these videos. 🙏

Man, you are not doing just videos, you are doing art!

Usually you only find two types of opinions: 1 materialism and consumerism are bad and jewelry as Well as watches are the embodiment of this. 2 this hobby of watch collecting is about history and art and you have them as symbols for your story or conversation starters. I have never heard someone admit that a watch is a soulless object that gives instant gratitude but can be filled with a personal story. This embraces the dark side of this hobby instead of arguing it away. That is the most mature attitude towards watches I have seen. Loved the video great content. On the side another thing people do is wear a watch that they talked themselves into because they liked the image of themselves with it and realize after a while it's "not them" so they sell it. I don't think I have heard someone talk about purposefully buying the watch that does not fit to their standard requirements or style because they want to reinvent themselves. So you adapt to the watch sort of. Pretty cool.

I confess to being something of a junkie for watch videos, seen probably thousands over the years. This is Next Level. BRAVO sir! The Santos has 'haunted' me since this model was released and for me probably a Dumont 2 tone. But maybe this one...The value is not outstanding but the class is unmistakeable and it never gets old.

Wow! You blew me away. This video was brave, honest, and relatable; something to admire and inspire. I don't think I ever commented on any video on KZfaq, but you struck a chord here. I had already planned to buy this watch (or the Santos Dumont) for my next purchase, and I think it is no surprise. This watch is truly something special, something aspirational to get but also aspirational to be the best version of yourself. My love for Cartier has grown so much in the past year and your story only confirms it. Thank you for your amazing contribution to the watch community!

Fantastically done segment, loved it! The Santos de Cartier has always caught my eye and captures a level of luxury in design that many other brands try to compensate for by adding complex finishes. I think it's very special that Cartier is able to exude luxury at such an organic level. One day I'll dip my toes in, but my 7.5" wrist will have me very torn as to which scale to pursue. Anyways, thanks for sharing and keep doing what you're doing Sir!

The two-tone medium is my first luxury watch and I love it! Glad I got the updated version. I honestly believe I’m going to be able to pass it down and say it’s a watch with heritage yet innovative during this time.

Subscribed! Love your channel! Great video that captures the emotion and feel of our love for watches. Gonna show this to my girlfriend so she understands.

Keep on making these kind of vids. You have found your personal style. Continue your journey with us.😉 Ps: It took a while to reach the 20k subs and now you easily passed the 21k within a few weeks. Congrats!

The ability to make a watch/ non watch video is wonderful. The depth of your meaning in this video is awesome.

The best watch video (and story) I have ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot. Well done.

Congrat for the Santos. I bought my Santos 2 weeks ago. I could not decide between the Santos medium and Santos PVD with blue bezel. Finaly i took the PVD version. I do not regret. But you can not make any mistake with a Santos.

My Santos has been sitting in my watch box for months as I sank deeper into my dive watches. Thank you for reminding me and reinvigorating my love for my Santos.

Excellent Video and lovingly photographed...I have the two tone medium Santos de Cartier which I absolutely love. I prefer it with my dark Blue leather Cartier deployant strap. For me, it looks so darned cool (even if i am not) ! Watching your film made me want to buy the straight stainless model as well which is, ultimately, timeless. But, At my time of life I am more about dressy than casual - so I went with the Gold.

Very well done! Great storytelling :-)

for my birthday this last year, my wife got me a 90 minute before the store opened 1:1 with a watch specialist at a store in Portland that carries a lot of higher end watches. I got to try on, Rolex, Tag's, Tissot, Breitling, Panerai, Seiko, and Cartier. and my biggest surprise of the day was the Cartier Santos. the one I tried on and LOVED was the 0037. I have 8" wrists and it was an amazing watch.

Your best work so far IMHO. Excellent video, truly iconic and spectacular timepiece, love it! Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

I enjoyed this video and especially your honesty and humility. It is a remarkable story how such an object as you say can have such a profound effect. And why not? And this is a perfect watch to achieve that. Good for you I am happy with this story

Look very smart. Timeless elegance. Legibility. Class. Refinement. I’ve tried a few variations with the date. The rhodium dial with the dark bezel was superb. But yours is the classic look. I loved the way it curved around my wrist. Maybe a half link adjustment in the bracelet would be an idea for a better fit. It also looks cool on the strap. Cartier. Can’t go wrong. Maybe I’ll get one in the future.

For me the seiko alpinist was what I really wanted after going through the endless quartz watches no matter is it was eco drive or tought solar or not felt the with quartz it left me with a feeling that something was missing , yes the quartz was accurate and rarely needs servicing , yet the automatic watch felt more real as this was for me.

A Beautiful "dress" watch. Stunning. How can a screw down case look so good on the Cartier and fail on a Hublot ? Some things just look right. A combination of form, function and materials. This just looks right.

I loved that video. Watch shots are perfect and the storytelling is great. Well done!

One of the best cartier videos on the web. I love it so much, but i really couldn't pull it off with my style. What am i talking about?? I have no style ...

Brilliant video, extremely well done. The Cartier De santos really suits you. It’s definitely a watch on my radar.

It’s not often I subscribe to a channel in the first two minutes of the first video I watch. This is excellent content .

Excellent video, well done. I own a Carrier Santos 100 XL Chronograph and like it very much. Keep up the great content.

Such a perfect watch! So much history behind this watch. My goal watch! Congrats!

I just went through some hard times and had to sell my patek nautilus 5712r moon phase rose gold. I had bought the watch wrong from a dishonest dealer. I just ordered the Santos de Cartier in rose gold 2022 I never liked Cartier. Thought it was just jewelry. But I'm so excited to get it now and due to helpful videos like this I am completely enthralled. I won't miss my royal oaks or my nautilus. Cartier is the future and my future on my life reboot. Thank you!

This watch and in particular your story resonates with me….thanks for sharing your story….so much emotion❤

Beautiful watch has a masculine look to it, the crown all them screws also screams engineer. A true gem for a watch lover I was once told every true collector has a Cartier

This has to be the best video uve done yet. And best video I even on the Santos yet. Amazingly put together and welll said. I have the exact same watch in the medium the true size I feel it should be. One small mistake in the video though it's not 34mm it 35.1. And because a square wears bigger then a circle watch. It wears like a 38mm.👍🏾

Amazing timepiece. Great review. Thank you. Another watch to be added to wish list. So many great watches and only one wrist to wear:)👍

Absolutely brilliant video mate. I have been thinking of adding a Santos to my collection. Great food for thought! Keep up the good work

I always felt like Cartier Tank looks more feminine than masculine and tbh I am still not drawn to it. That initial feeling made me disregard Cartier in general. But after watching this video, I am now second guessing myself. This Santos just look really handsome! Maybe it's the production of this video, but you definitely showcased this watch better than Cartier's own website! It might be something I would wear one day, who knows! My wrist size is around 7 inch and I think I prefer that medium size as well!

By far your best video till now! Great presentation :) 5 stars! And yes it happened to me too with my Tudor BB Pro

It has been very long since any video resonated with me this much. Fantastic work. Thank you!

Great video as usual!!! What a grail watch the Santos. I agree on every single consideration, and medium is my choice as well...if I will ever have the chance to buy it. Continue with these amazing contents!!!

The impression that the Santos had on you, being an "aspirational object" that somehow moved you to align yourself with the beauty and order that this watch exudes, is the very same effect your video is having on me. That "You must change your life" of Rilke, somehow. Thank you.

Opened this video for the 2nd time on my TV because my PC has adblocker and your channel deserves the support. Production quality is amazing! Keep going!

Great sentiments, thank you for sharing.

This video gives me chills and emotions… I adore and own this watch but with this video you really gave to the experience another level. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Great video. Your channel has become a KZfaq must, amongst fewer each day. Outstanding content.

Great content sir, it's funny how these little thing we wear on our wrists can change us with their stories and presence. As i have gotten older I find my tastes have changed and iam more interested in these stories, history is more important to me than flash. I think Cartier is under appreciated as a watch maker, but their attention to detail is amazing as you documented in this video and the lines are near perfect so there is no need to change it. Iam looking to purchase the 0037 as i love the idea of the rubber strap with the iconic rivets as a casual wear and then the bracelet for more formal occasions, i think their catalog has something for everyone. Keep up the good work and continued success in the years to come.

Lovely, so well shot, written and delivered.

The first Flieger. Beautiful watch, and a marvellous video, Brave. Wear it in good health! On a Hublot note,there is a scammer in the replies...☹

Heavily considering this exact watch. Thank you for your interpretation. I’ve been enjoying your channel for sometime. Brilliant. Informative content. 😎👍🏼

Well done! This is a great video. I've never given the Santos much thought, but after watching your video, I think it's going to be my next watch purchase.

I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of amzwatch. Their watches are of exceptional quality.

Wow, i knew it from the eyes, and the accent that there was something familiar since i started following your channel, but i wasn't sure. Now after this video i understood what should have been obvious from the start. All i can say is...misto. Great video btw. Dealing with the same issues during the pandemic, but very far away.

This is the perfect first luxury watch for any one

Got the same watch. The santos is elegant and mesmerizing.

Yearly bonus time is coming up and I was looking at the Omega sapphire sandwich Moonwatch, but after buying a Cartier Tank Must for my wife at Christmas and seeing how well it fits, how good it looks and how well it's made I am seriously considering a Santos for myself. The blue PVD version looks absolutely stunning. The quick change strap and bracelet systems are a big plus.

We love material things because we lack the capacity to appreciate the limited time we have with our loved ones. We all want to be loved. You don't need a watch to be loved. Do what you love but don't justify it to people you don't know because people who don't know you will never love you if they never spent time to get to know you.

I never knew about the method for changing straps,such a great design and another fantastic video

Great video and exceptional production quality. As many others I started my watch collection with something robust, the Omega SMP 300, back in 2008. Having just one watch at the beginning it is useful if that piece is versatile and can be worn at almost every occasion. With the majority of my small collection being more on the sporty side last year I felt that it was time to add something different to it and I bought a Cartier Tank Americaine in medium size. And it is truly different. It doesn't live by technical specifications or the latest innovation. Yes, it keeps time reliably as a good watch should but first and foremost it is a piece of jewellery, a piece of art. Whenever I put it on my wrist it elevates my mood.

This is a living matter, the philosophy of life is very lively and the story keeps its rhythm. The watch is beautiful and the most important thing is that it is inspiring! Thank you for the energy of this video! I saw something here for myself and perhaps I’ll leave it with me. Thank you..

Great video! Loved the channel before but it feels like you took it to the next level with this one!

I bought this exact watch one year ago and never regretted it!

Money well spent @Cartier! Love the new ad!

It’s a beautiful watch and I’m considering buying the medium automatic. The funny thing is that my Rolex explorer fits better in my casual way of dress and my simple life, but on the other hand I find the combination of the Santos and a t shirt awesome 😎

Your best video! This exactly Santos is on my list. You gave me an extra motivation. :)

The WSSA0037 is so different one can definitely have both and not be considered mad.

Quite the work of art, this video :)

Epic video - its a classic design and I would love one, but would worry about scratching, such a thing of beauty

Excellent video presentation!!!! Thank you!!!!

Wow, the quality of the video, the story sharing, the lost years we all experienced that’s relatable. Enjoy watching it through and through. I had few existing watches accompanying me through the confusing and lost months, and job too. Keeping me sane locking inside the house. Particularly a watch that was bought at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown couple with the political turmoil in the country. Unique, not expansive, robust, in-house. Have a great day!

Fantastic video. This is a very interesting one for me, as I have been looking at this watch lately. My daily watch is a 41 mm Submariner that although I adore it most days, I work in a profession that involves client meetings and nicer attire. So I would never wear it with a suit or rarely business casual. And I manage people’s money, so I don’t want to look too loud. This watch that I currently own and wear is wonderful as a sports watch, but does not suit any business type dress. I feel as though the Santos will do double duty in that, as you’ve illustrated from your beautiful videos. It looks great with a blazer, and it looks great dressed up or down.

What a review. Love it! This is my dream watch.

Bai, Andrei, scratch that!, Domnule Andrei, esti foarte, foarte, fooaaarte bun! Felicitari sincere!

I don’t like how they reserved Sapphires in the crown for the all gold models.

Beautiful watch ,I also liked the Roadster in XL ,but you only got the XL in America ,I think they have stopped making it ,thanks

Excellent Video Sir. I am considering this watch myself in the near future. There is just one thing that bothers me about this watch and that is the alignment of the screws. I don't understand why the screws are in different positions, especially as this is one of the main features. I cant see why they are not all the same in the locked down position throughout the watch. Can anyone explain this? Same position screws are evident in high end watches like AP. This will not put me off my eventual purchase, however those screws will play on my OCD.

Îmi place, îmi place! Tot așa!

During lockdown and the working from home period, I was buying more casual watches. Now that I’m back in a suit, I’m buying more formal watches.

Amazing video, my Pasha 38mm changed my life, even now I make my own custom leather straps. Fabulous combination of colors in your look!

As you getting older you start building self-confidence noticing things around you more then usual. It is normal :)

Cartier never really did it for me. My mom always went on about them so I thought they were more of a watch for women...and then I saw that same black dial XL Santos and I fell in love. Amazing video! Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful watch and beautifully made video ❤️👍

Mister te urmaresc de foarte foarte mult timp...si abia acum am realizat ca esti din Romania :)) Sincer iti spun ... ai cele mai frumoase si detaliate clipuri despre ceasuri ..ever ! Keep up this beautiful art ! ✌

Incredible production 👏 ❤

Lovely storyboard put into life. :)

Great stuff! You just have a great manner to say some principal truths in a totally off-hand matter, that is so lovely! I had (and still have) a similar experience with Slim d´Hermes. You might have a good long look at that one too, but please, not on the photo, go to the boutique and have it in your hand. You might buy it right away. As I will Santos. Once I decide which one... Soon...

my first swiss watch was the tag heuer link. very recognisable. i feel the same way about the santos. i am currantly saving for a nice clean santos galbee xl. forgive the spelling errors. with love from new york.

Thank you for your new video!

There is definitely something extremely elegant about the Santos on that bracelet.
