Santos de Cartier watch, Large model

Ref.WGSA0123

In 1904, Louis Cartier created a wristwatch for the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, which became the precursor to the modern wristwatch due to its practicality in allowing pilots to check the time while in flight. The WGSA0123 inherits this iconic lineage, combining traditional design with a rare obsidian dial to create a truly exceptional timepiece.

The "Santos-Dumont LM" is a sophisticated luxury watch that carries on the aesthetics of Cartier’s iconic historical collection. Rooted in the pioneering timepiece created for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, it has been elevated into a symbol of contemporary elegance. Powered by the manual-winding Manufacture Calibre 430 MC, it offers all the pleasure expected of a mechanical watch.

This piece features a sophisticated design that combines an 18K yellow gold case and bracelet with an obsidian dial, distinguished by its deep hue and unique character. The refined 43.5 x 31.4 mm case showcases gold-finished Roman numerals and sword-shaped hands, evoking a sense of classical elegance. With a slender 7.3 mm profile, it graces the wrist beautifully, offering the presence of fine jewelry balanced with the dignity of a luxury timepiece.
