General Overview
In 1904, Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont complained to his friend Louis Cartier about the unreliability and impracticality of using a pocket watch while flying. Cartier designed a flat wristwatch with a square bezel…the first mass-produced men’s wristwatch was born: the Santos Dumont! By 1911, Cartier put the Santos-Dumont into full production, with a movement from Jaeger inside. Since then the Santos become a masterpiece in watchmaking history.
