About
Alex Stevens bought and sold his first vintage watch at fourteen and has been immersed in the market ever since. Based in London, Alex Stevens Vintage specializes in well-preserved, original examples of rare and collectible vintage watches — with a particular depth in Cartier dress watches and British military-issued chronographs.
Every watch is personally inspected and its authenticity guaranteed before sale. The operation is deliberately personal: Alex develops long-term relationships with collectors, private individuals, and fellow dealers in the UK and internationally, offering the kind of attentive, knowledgeable service that distinguishes a specialist from a storefront.
His Cartier inventory regularly includes Tank Louis, Santos Galbee, Panthere, and Santos Dumont references spanning the 1970s through the early 2000s — precisely the vintage-eligible era that Archiva documents. As a founding dealer, Alex Stevens Vintage contributes photography to the Archiva reference archive, helping build the definitive visual record of these watches.

Model families this dealer is recognized for.
Panthère de Cartier
The bracelet-integrated jewelry watch that democratized Cartier's precious metal codes.
Santos
The watch that introduced steel to Cartier — and launched the luxury sports watch category a decade before its competitors.
Santos Dumont
The world's first purpose-built wristwatch, created for an aviator who refused to take his hands off the controls.
Santos Galbée
The Santos redesigned for the wrist — curved, integrated, and built for daily wear.
Tank Américaine
The Tank reimagined for a larger wrist — Cartier's curved reinterpretation of its own icon, bridging the elegance of the Cintrée with the boldness of a new era.
Tank Française
The first Tank born with a bracelet — Cartier's sportiest rectangular watch, designed to move seamlessly from the boardroom to the weekend.
Tank Louis Cartier
The definitive rectangular dress watch, born from the geometry of war and perfected in the workshops of peace.
