The RICH Santos de Cartier Skeleton WHSA0027 Black ADLC is one of the most striking and contemporary interpretations of the Santos collection. Combining Cartier's legendary square case design with a stealthy black ADLC finish and a fully skeletonized movement, this configuration transforms a classic luxury watch into a bold statement piece.
Crafted from black ADLC-coated stainless steel, the watch measures 39.8mm across and maintains the elegant proportions that have made the Santos collection iconic for over a century. The dark case finish highlights the architectural design of the watch while creating a modern and highly distinctive appearance. The exposed bezel screws, curved case profile, and integrated construction remain instantly recognizable as hallmarks of the Santos collection.
The centerpiece of this configuration is its remarkable skeletonized movement architecture. Rather than concealing the movement beneath a traditional dial, the bridges themselves form the Roman numerals, creating a three-dimensional display that showcases the mechanical beauty of the watch from every angle. The dark grey and black tones of the skeleton structure perfectly complement the ADLC case while maintaining excellent legibility.
Every detail of the movement remains visible through the open-worked design. Light passes through the movement architecture, creating constantly changing reflections and visual depth that bring the watch to life on the wrist. The result is a timepiece that functions equally as a watch and a mechanical work of art.
Powering the watch is the 9611 MC Clone Manual-Wind Movement. Designed to replicate the appearance and layout of Cartier's Caliber 9611 MC, the movement features a true skeleton architecture, manual winding operation, and ultra-thin construction. The genuine WHSA0027 utilizes Cartier's in-house Caliber 9611 MC hand-wound skeleton movement with approximately 70 hours of power reserve, making it one of the brand's most technically impressive calibers.
The black leather strap perfectly complements the dark ADLC case and skeleton architecture, creating a cohesive monochromatic appearance. Comfortable and versatile, it enhances the sophisticated character of the watch while maintaining excellent daily wearability.
RICH Factory has become highly regarded for its Santos Skeleton models due to its movement execution, case proportions, finishing quality, and overall visual accuracy. The WHSA0027 remains one of the most sought-after Santos Skeleton configurations thanks to its unique combination of technical complexity and stealth-inspired styling.
