Catalogue Essay
- The Santos Dumont by Cartier has long been regarded as a classic since its inception in the early 20th century when Louis Cartier commissioned the watch for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont, providing him with a timepiece he could wear while flying.
- Over the past century, the collection has thrived, maintaining its iconic design with only technical upgrades to the case and movement. In 2023, capitalizing on the resurgence of timeless Cartier watches in modern fashion, three limited edition pieces in precious metals were introduced.
- Each of these models features exquisite guilloche dials adorned with hardstone Roman numerals, a hallmark of Cartier's craftsmanship. The current platinum example is particularly noteworthy, showcasing red jasper Roman numerals—a rare choice for watch dials. These eye-catching models are designed for comfort on the wrist and are limited to just 200 pieces. Additionally, they exhibit a sunray and textured guilloche effect on the dial, paying subtle homage to the coveted CPCP collections.
- While regular production models are powered by a quartz movement, these limited editions are driven by Cartier’s in-house caliber 430 MC. Offered complete with accessories in “like-new” condition, this watch numbered 42 is a remarkable collector's piece awaits a kindred spirit who shares a passion for the history of watchmaking.

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.
