Created for the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont after he complained about the difficulties of handling a pocket watch in flight, the Cartier Santos quickly became an icon of the times. The overall design of a rectangular watch with rounded edges and a dial featuring thin, elongated Roman numerals has survived through to modern times, proving its ubiquity and timelessness.
