Santos-Dumont

THE SANTOS-DUMONT COLLECTION IS ENRICHED BY THREE NEW LIMITED-EDITION PIECES

As a tribute to the historical model, the Santos-Dumont collection adds three new versions to its repertoire of elegance. Three lacquer watches that elevate the style and spirit so dear to the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont.

Style is the hallmark of Alberto Santos-Dumont, a pioneer of the sky known for his impeccable dress sense on all occasions. With his waistcoat, wing collar, trousers with large turn-ups and backward facing flat cap, this prince of aviation favours elegance, simplicity and practicality. These were the three main principles of Alberto Santos- Dumont, who ordered the first modern wristwatch from Louis Cartier in 1904.

Updated in 2018, the Santos-Dumont watch is faithful to the pure design of the original model. It is the focus of a collection enriched this year with three new refined and very exclusive watches which cultivate the elegance inherited from Alberto Santos-Dumont.

These three colour variations in burgundy and platinum, beige and gold or black and steel are coated with a thin layer of lacquer, then smoothed and polished by hand. Everything hinges on the finesse of this translucent lacquer, which adds brilliance, relief and depth to the colours of the dial.

Delicate knowledge at the service of a subtle and sophisticated aesthetic that perpetuates the heritage of this great watchmaking classic.
