Story Behind the Watch
Inspired by the Santos-Dumont model born in 1904—the first wristwatch created for the pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont—this Skeleton Yellow Gold version is a continuation of Cartier’s history. The pioneering spirit is now reimagined through a modern skeleton structure, honoring the art of watchmaking and the iconic Santos screws. It transforms the watch from a mere timekeeper into a story of creativity, boldness, and the desire to exceed limits that have defined the Santos name for over a century.
Design Style
This model showcases a distinct modern, luxurious, and mechanical aesthetic. The bracelet is made of 904L stainless steel with a solid integrated link design, finished in a gold tone that seamlessly matches the case. The bezel features the signature solid square design with rounded corners and exposed screws, also in a gold finish. The dial is a skeleton design revealing the movement, with Roman numeral markers stylized as the movement’s bridges, creating a strong, confident, and different look.
