Cartier Santos WSSA0018 watch 47.5mm x 39.8 mm
In 1904, Louis Cartier fulfilled the wish of renowned Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont: to be able to tell the time while flying. The creation of one of the first wristwatches marked the bond between these two pioneers. The rounded corners of the case, the seamless curves of the lugs, and the exposed screws have made it an iconic timepiece that continues to inspire countless reinterpretations.
