Simone Ashley wears a Cartier Santos de Cartier

In The Devil Wears Prada 2, Simone Ashley plays Amari, Miranda Priestly's first assistant at Runway, and Anne Hathaway is back as Priestly. In this scene Amari stands a step behind her boss in the Runway offices, hands folded at her waist. Costume designer Molly Rogers dressed her in sharp black tailoring, and in this frame the wrist holds a small gold watch tucked half under a white shirt cuff, stacked with a beaded gold bracelet and a thin gold bangle.

The watch is a Santos de Cartier, the small model in 18-karat yellow gold, reference WGSA0107. The case is a rounded square, 27 by 34.5 millimeters, with the eight exposed bezel screws that have been the line's signature since the start. The dial is silvered with black Roman numerals and a railroad minute track, the hands are blued steel, and the crown holds a faceted blue stone. For all the gold, it runs on a battery. Cartier lists it at 33,900 dollars on the bracelet, and the jewelry writers who catalogued Amari's wardrobe place it in her stack next to a Love bracelet, a Juste un Clou, and an Écrou.

Louis Cartier built the first Santos in 1904 for the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who wanted to read the time without taking his hands off the controls of his early aircraft. That is the reason the watch went on a wrist instead of into a pocket. A century later the same design is solid gold, and Amari wears it with her hands clasped, holding a small clutch, standing still.
