Created in 1904 as the first pilot’s watch—and therefore the first true tool watch—the Santos has been pushing boundaries ever since it first adorned the wrist of pioneering aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. As the story goes, Santos-Dumont asked Louis Cartier for a wrist-worn timepiece he could use while flying, as juggling a pocket watch mid-flight was far from ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"232\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"757\"\u003eThe Cartier Santos-Dumont 1913 ref. 2697 featured here is a tribute to those early years of the model and belongs to Cartier’s esteemed Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP). Launched in 1998, CPCP represented Cartier’s decisive move beyond the quartz era, refocusing on high-end mechanical watchmaking with an emphasis on refined finishing, more robust masculine designs, and the brand’s historical roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"757\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1166\"\u003eProduced in a limited edition of just 100 pieces, the ref. 2697 embodies the strict standards CPCP set for itself—featuring an lovely finished mechanical movement, a meticulously crafted case, and a design that thoughtfully honors the Santos-Dumont’s heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1166\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1428\"\u003eThis example is crafted in 18k yellow gold and measures 25 × 34 mm, with the typical Cartier blue cabochon crown.
