Santos de Cartier watch
1904, Louis Cartier granted the wish of the famous Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont: to be able to tell time while flying. The birth of one of the first ever wristwatches sealed the bonds of friendship between these two pioneers. The rounded angles of the dial, the seamless curve of the horns, and the exposed screws made for an iconic watch that would inspire countless reinterpretations.
Santos watch, large model, mechanical movement with automatic winding caliber 1847 MC. Rose gold 750/1000 case, 7-sided crown in rose gold 750/1000 set with a faceted sapphire.
