Like the incoming congressman, the watch traces its roots to Brazil.
In an ironic twist, the Cartier Santos, one of the most famous timepieces in horological history, traces its roots to Brazil. Louis Cartier designed the Santos de Cartier in 1904 for his friend Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who had difficulty telling time while flying using a pocket watch without taking his hands off the controls of his plane. The result—with its rounded square case and exposed screws—was the first pilot’s watch and one of the first mass-produced wristwatches.
Appropriately for someone whose image could use a revamp, for his second day in the House chamber, George Santos appeared to have swapped out the stainless steel bracelet on his Santos for a blue rubber strap. Either way, the clock is likely ticking on his career in Congress.
