This boxed “Santos” cigar lighter and cutter set by Cartier, crafted in France during the late 20th century, is the epitome of luxury and precision for the discerning aficionado. Housed in its original presentation box with accompanying paperwork, the set features a sleek, streamlined design inspired by Cartier’s iconic Santos watch, characterised by its signature exposed screws and elegant geometry. The lighter, with its smooth ignition mechanism, delivers a reliable, wind-resistant flame, while the matching cutter offers a clean, precise cut thanks to its razor-sharp blades. Both pieces are beautifully finished in polished metal, reflecting Cartier’s flawless attention to detail.

Founded in Paris in 1847, Cartier has long been synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design. Renowned for its pioneering spirit (introducing innovations such as the first practical wristwatch and distinctive screw-motif jewellery) Cartier extends its mastery into lifestyle accessories like lighters, pens, and leather goods. Each Cartier creation blends artisanal expertise with elegant aesthetics, making them coveted heirlooms for generations.
