The Cartier Santos de Cartier Large White 39.8mm (Ref. WSSA0018) honours the revolutionary 1904 collaboration between Louis Cartier and Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont that created one of the first wristwatches, sealing bonds of friendship between pioneers whilst solving the practical challenge of telling time during flight. The iconic squared case with rounded angles, seamless horn curves, and exposed screws established design language that has inspired countless reinterpretations whilst maintaining essential character across more than a century of evolution.
At 39.8mm with 9.38mm thickness through steel construction, this provides substantial presence whilst the silvered opaline dial with blued-steel sword-shaped hands creates Cartier’s signature aesthetic refinement. The 7-sided crown set with faceted synthetic spinel and square sapphire crystal maintain authentic Santos character whilst the exposed screws transform functional components into distinctive design elements.
The mechanical Calibre 1847 MC delivers reliable 40-hour power reserve through automatic winding with manufacture construction ensuring precision timekeeping essential for aviation applications. The proven movement provides daily convenience whilst maintaining the reliability that established wristwatches as essential equipment for modern life.
The innovative QuickSwitch interchangeability system enables seamless bracelet and strap changes without tools whilst the SmartLink adjustment system allows bracelet resizing through integrated mechanism. The steel bracelet and calfskin strap with interchangeable folding buckle provide versatile presentation whilst the 100m water resistance covers practical requirements.
This Santos de Cartier Large White suits collectors seeking authentic 1904 aviation heritage with iconic design significance and proven manufacture movement technology. The revolutionary wristwatch legacy and Santos-Dumont collaboration provide distinguished character whilst the QuickSwitch system and contemporary usability ensure practical luxury that honours Cartier’s fundamental contribution to modern timekeeping through perfect balance of historical significance and refined elegance.
