The Cartier Santos Demoiselle Watch was created as a tribute to Santos-Dumont’s 1908 airplane, “The Demoiselle”.  Alberto Santos-Dumont, a pioneer of the early flight and friend of Louis Cartier, popularized the use of the wristwatch amongst men in the early 20th century.  He found checking a pocket-watch to be troublesome while flying and asked Louis Cartier to create a solution in the form of a men’s wristwatch.  The watch Cartier created for Santos-Dumont was displayed in 1979 at the Paris Air Museum next to the original “Demoiselle” airplane. 

Retailing for $3,650 before tax, the Cartier Santos Demoiselle Women’s Watch is a beautiful addition to any jewelry collection.
