The Santos 100 marked a century of the first pilot's wristwatch by scaling the case up, and the flying tourbillon version puts a Poinçon de Genève movement inside it. The tourbillon carriage is shaped as Cartier's letter C.

This Cartier Santos 100 Flying Tourbillon wears a 46.6 x 38.7mm 18k gold case with a skeleton dial. Manual winding 9455 MC inside.

Fun fact: A flying tourbillon has no upper bridge, so the cage appears to float, and Cartier shapes the cage into a C that reads as its own signature once a minute. The calibre carries the Geneva Seal, which sets standards for finishing as well as accuracy.

The collection

Santos de Cartier

Square, screwed and made for daily wear, from a design traced to 1904

Cartier made the first Santos in 1904 for the flight pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont. As Cartier tells it, he wanted the time readable without taking his hands off his airship. The brief gave a squared case with rounded flanks and a flat bezel carrying exposed screws; in 1978 Cartier added the integrated bracelet whose links carry the same screws. The current Santos de Cartier adds QuickSwitch, a tool free strap release, and SmartLink sizing on the metal bracelet.

Sizes in the family

Three sizes, 27 to 40 mm wide, 35 to 47.5 long

Who it suits
