The one who made a plane take off for the first time at the beginning of the 20ththA century, Santos Dumont was a faithful friend of Louis Cartier, he asked him to make a watch that can be brought to the wrist during his tumultuous flights.
Louis Cartier with the help of Edmond Jaeger looks at the problem and in 1904 offered him the first bracelet watch called "Santos".
This aviator's watch is legendary and will be the source of many models that will follow, including the tank collection inspired by the Santos.
The model that interests us is a round Santos around 1990, a superb lady's watch in line with Cartier's successes.
It is a round steel box 30mm in diameter with apparent screw bezel. White dial with painted Roman numerals, railway timer. Bleui steel needles, heating technique that limits corrosion. Steel bracelet.
This is a perfect execution of the big house, an international renown that does not weaken.
Here is a watch a watch to put in your collection.
