Santos-Dumont

The Santos collection was inspired by Alberto Santos-Dumont, a Brazilian aviator who wanted more than a pocket watch to assist him while flying and holds the accolade of being the first wristwatch created of all time. Designed in 1904 to help the aviator, Louis Cartier invented a flat wristwatch with a square bezel, reinventing the way we tell the time and shaping the future of the watch industry. Despite being designed over a century ago, the Santos Dumont’s style and elegance lives on, remaining one of Cartier’s most renowned designs. The Santos collection pieces are both bold and refined timepieces that invite you on an adventure.
