Tradition Meets Innovation

True to the elegance and pioneering spirit of the original, which was created in 1904 to enable aviators to tell the time mid-flight, the Santos-Dumont watch has now been reinterpreted with vintage accents. It brought together a wide range of skills at the Cartier Manufacture, from the most traditional to the most innovative.
