Santos-Dumont watch

1904, Louis Cartier grants the wish of his friend, the famous Brazilian aviator Santos Dumont: to read the time in mid-flight. Thus was born one of the first wristwatches. Its geometric shape and visible screws mark a watch that will quickly become a watchmaking icon of the House. The Santos thus becomes a classic on which time has no hold.
