In 1904, Louis Cartier made the first-ever “pilot’s watch” for his pioneering aviator friend from Brazil, Alberto Santos-Dumont. It was a stylish tool replica watch that went up in the sky and became a universal classic. In 1983, the Casio G-Shock Square broke onto the scene. The watch was the vision of Kikuo Ibe, the Japanese Casio engineer who threw prototype replica watches for sale uk from the building he was working in… Not out of anger, but because he wanted to create an unbreakable watch. It took over 200 prototypes to reach his goal, but eventually the robust, colorful, and affordable G-Shock became a pop-culture phenomenon. In 2022, the Swiss fake Cartier Santos UK and the Casio G-Shock Square are not what they used to be. And the watches have a lot more in common than you think.
Take in the shape of the 1:1 fake Cartier Santos Galbée XL. Now look at a G-Shock Square. And now go back to the Cartier again. Yes, I know, the trained watch eye sees a plethora of differences. But when you look at it a bit more casually, you will notice a lot of similarities too. The perfect replica Cartier Santos was custom-made for the son of a prosperous coffee planter with a very dandy-esque appearance who wanted nothing else but to fly his self-built machines. It was also the starting point of a classic collection. Louis Cartier infused the 1904 “tool watch” with some very interesting, typically Parisian elements.
