- The classic complication made and assembled by the watch factory: the 1858 series Geosphere watch has a blue dial and contrasting elements in snow white cold light.
- The Core Series-Two blue watches present a new aesthetic, with a stainless steel ribbed crown, decorated with blue ceramic inserts, engraved with the Super-LumiNova® compass orientation.

This is Louis Cartier (Louis Cartier) in 1904 by his pilot friend Albert. Created by Alberto Santos-Dumont, he was able to read the time while flying. This is the first men’s watch in history. The square bezel with pure design and decorative screws is amazing. The charm symbolized by the watch is obvious: this accessory is designed to fly higher and see further.

The well-defined case, the straight lines and the ingenious elegance: the classic design of the Santos-Dumont watch is sublimated to size XL. Compared to previous models, this watch has a different wearing feel: The dial is wider, more generous, and straighter on the wrist, combining the style and essence of the series. Not only that, the watch has a slim case, and from the sword-shaped pointer to the beaded crown, from the frosted sunray dial to the engraved initial letter S = D (signed by Albert Sandos-Dumont) The back of the watch is exquisite and delicate.
430 MC movement: connoisseur’s choice
In developing the tension between the back of the watch and the outside, inside and out, the watchmaker Cartier chose the 430 MC manual winding mechanical movement, demonstrating its meticulous and noble dynamics.
