History

Historical Context

In 1904 Louis Cartier crafted the Santos wristwatch for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, enabling him to monitor flight without a pocket watch—a design enabled by the 1903 Dimier Frères patent that standardized wrist-watch lugs. Earlier military use in the 1880s had shifted watches from women’s accessories to functional tools, and the Santos sold for 5,000 francs, cementing celebrity-driven luxury.
