Cartier Santos-Dumont

With its flexible metal bracelet, hard stone dial and mechanical manufacture movement, this new version of the Santos-Dumont watch channels the dandyism of Alberto Santos-Dumont, who was known for his singular style and attention to detail.

True to the elegance and pioneering spirit of the original, which was created in 1904 to enable aviators to tell the time mid-flight, this model shares the same codes: Roman numerals, visible screws, circular-grained crown and a blue cabochon. A great classic of the design world, it was the first modern watch designed to be worn on the wrist and has now been reinterpreted with vintage accents, bringing together a wide range of skills at the Cartier Manufacture, from the most traditional to the most innovative.
