1904, Louis Cartier grants the wish of the famous Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont: to read the time in mid-flight. Thus was born one of the first wristwatches, sealing the friendship of two pioneers. Its dial with rounded corners, its harmoniously curved attachments, its visible screws sign an iconic watch that will be the subject of multiple reinterpretations.
