The Cartier CT0481O eyeglasses carry one of the most storied names in the house. They belong to the Santos de Cartier line, inspired by the legendary Santos watch that Cartier first created for the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. The gold metal frame has a strong, architectural rectangular shape.

The Cartier detail

Faceted details drawn from the Santos watch bracelet enrich the metal hinge. The temples carry the iconic Santos screw decor. Cartier engraves its logo on the temples, and the precious gold finish ties it all together.

The fit

The lenses are 53mm wide. The bridge is 19mm and the arms are 145mm. That is a comfortable medium fit that suits most adult faces. The gold finish flatters warm skin tones and adds a confident, watch-inspired edge.
