Catalogue Essay
- With its graceful lines and compact elegance, the Cartier Santos-Dumont watch evokes the pioneering spirit of early aviation. Inspired by Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the design first took wing in 1904 with the aim of providing practical wristwatch utility for the era's intrepid explorers of the skies.
- This modern pink gold edition pays tribute to those origins while remaining resolutely contemporary. The slender case crafted from 18K pink gold exhibits refined curves and proportions. In place of the iconic Cartier blue sapphire cabochon typically found on this model, the crown of the present example is diamond-set, adding a touch of unconventional luxury.
- More than a century after its pioneering debut, the Santos-Dumont remains an enduring classic that brings artistry and history to modern daily wear. Offered in “like-new” condition with its full set of accessories, this unusual example is an elegant choice for any occasion.

Cartier
FrenchWith the Constitution of 1848 came a new standard for luxury in France. Founded one year prior by Louis-Francois Cartier, the house of Cartier was one of the first to use platinum in jewelry making. This incredibly expensive material became the stepping-stone for Cartier to experiment in form, mechanisms and attitude. It helped men move from pocket watches to wristwatches, effectively making the watch much more functional and prominent in a man's overall wardrobe.Cartier did not only touch on functionality. Inspired by a commissioned painting by George Barbier featuring a black panther at the feet of an elegantly bejeweled woman, Cartier began incorporating wild animals in his designs—most notably, Cartier Panthère rings, bangle bracelets and watches. Yet it wasn't until the late 1960s that the house of Cartier debuted their iconic yellow and rose gold LOVE collection, which includes the famous bracelet that only a special screwdriver can open.
