In 1904, Louis Cartier designed a wristwatch which would come to define the modern timepiece. It was the wish of his friend Alberto Santos Dumont that he would be able to tell the time while flying and so the first wristwatch was born. The Santos Dumont ref. 2649 is of a highly elegant design which is powered by a slim and dynamic manual winding caliber. The classic aesthetic of geometric shapes and exposed screws quickly became an icon of the house.
