Men Wearing Cartier

No one does elegant watches like Cartier. The clean, well-thought out designs have been the hallmark of sophisticated elegance for decades – but they are surely keeping up with the times.

Blending classic Cartier elements with sports watch versatility, masculine touches, and automotive inspiration, they are fast becoming the choice of stylish gentlemen. If you’re in the market for a Cartier watch, you can take your cue from these men:

Santos 100 on Liev Schreiber

It has everything you need in a dress watch; but with the brawn of a watch built for sport. Famous for its industrial look, it sets itself apart with its square case and dial, exposed screws, and bold appearance. Despite having a few sharp angles, the Santos 100 has thick lugs that curve gracefully on the wrist, making it comfortable to wear.

Calibre on Zac Efron

Cartier is best known for making watches that wear like jewelry, but with the Cartier Calibre they gained their legitimacy as makers of sports watches. Its striking, high-luxury design was very well received but it’s not all looks – it’s powered by an in-house Cartier mechanical movement and 48-hour power reserve.

Tank MC on Rami Malek

Everybody knows about Cartier’s iconic Art Deco-inspired Tank; and the Tank MC gives the famous watch a sportive edge. With a thicker and larger 34 x 44mm case and a sub-dial at 6 o’clock, it adds heft and masculine touches to the utterly elegant Tank. A great choice if you want an edgier dress watch that can also be worn in casual settings.

Pasha on Henry Golding

The Pasha stands out in the Cartier portfolio mainly because of its perfectly round case and use of Arabic numerals on the dial. Both elements give the Cartier Pasha a very clean look, while the thin lugs and sapphire cabochon crown give it a charming touch. The Pasha is a dress watch through and through and looks magnificent with a suit. | Photo by Brad Torchia for GQ.com, taken from Henry’s Instagram account

Drive on Robert Downey Jr

Launched just 3 years ago, the Cartier Drive thoroughly impressed the watch community. It borrows elements from the design language of Cartier, and subtly adds in automotive inspiration – making for a watch that’s beautiful, refined, and masculine all at the same time. If the look you’re going for is sleek elegance, the Drive is the perfect timepiece for you. | Photo from Cartier’s official Twitter account (@Cartier)
