1904 - the Santos Watch
In 1904, Louis Cartier fulfilled the wish of aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont: to be able to tell the time in full flight, on his pocket watch, without letting go of the controls. Cartier had no idea that he was revolutionising watchmaking by creating the very first “wristwatch”. Santos de Cartier steel watch, in medium, $9,600, by CARTIER
1917 - the Tank Watch
When the Tank watch was introduced in 1917 by Cartier, watches were traditionally round. Inspired by a drawing of a military tank seen from birds-eye view, the strap is for the tracks and the case for the vehicle’s interior. It has now become an absolute must-have in watchmaking.
