Watches & Wonders Highlight #1: Stunning New Cartier Santos-Dumont - Aviation History on the Wrist

Cartier has launched a new Santos-Dumont - perhaps the most stunning homage to the great aviator Albert Santos-Dumont for whom the first watch was made. In this collection in steel, gold and platinium, Cartier have recreated a true icon of watchmaking in one of the finest men's watches of the year so far.

I so do not have a lifestyle or wardrobe that would allow me to wear a watch like this but I love the brand history so much and the classic beauty so much that I could imagine buy one just to hold it and look at it. Of course they are mostly about three times what I consider my maximum budget for a nice watch.

Great video Armand, as usual and I love to learn something new in every single video thanks to your knowledge. Thanks for sharing and be safe.

after watched your video, I ordered the LE 14 BIS model, as someone had spent many years living in Rio, this watch could be very meaningful to me.

Vacheron Constantin's novelty video was incredible!
Of those 3, i adore the bresil, though i would have preferred it in steel...

A lot of brands have released some stunning pieces, from JLC to vacheron.

Would love to get your views on those exquisite VC bird dial watches!

Why would they not show the mechanical on the back is beyond me

"LIMITED EDITION" "WATER RESISTANT" and "SWISS MADE" Just look out of place on such elegant Cartier pieces (especially for limited editions). If they just kept the No. sequence, and Swiss Made in serif script on the top, would be far more elegant.

I appreciate Cartier watches, but they never really float my boat in the way (say) a JLC Reverso does. Can't explain why, but I can't get excited by their watches.

Why are you saying Cartier like you’re English like me so stop doing the other than that noted the video!
