Catalogue Essay
Celebrating style, nuance and a community of true collectors, the Cartier Santos Dumont “Les Flaneur” is a unique collaboration that took two years in making. The result, an exceptionally fresh edition on the first wristwatch created by Cartier for aviator and extravagant Alberto Santos-Dumont. The abundance of emerald green radiates its charm at first sight of the “Les Flaneur” Santos Dumont. Meticulously crafted the typical Roman numerals is adorned with Chinese numerals that express its unique culture of origin. Thanks to “Les Flaneurs”, a club with esteemed collectors such as Wei Koh, Auro Montanari, Shary Rahman, their vision combined with Cartier’s prowess brought this special order project alive. Produced in stainless steel and limited to 50 pieces only, it is also paired with a rarely seen emerald green cabochon.
Turning around the watch reveals a lucky charm of a four leave clover in lacquered green with a touch of playfulness to the timeless design. Engraved with the club’s name, a small detail engraved on the bottom will hit the soft spot for watch collectors. “Méchanique” is not something you see every day from the large sized Santos Dumont. Powered by a quartz movement in the regular production, this was a special request by the visionaries of the club to heighten the collectability of the present timepiece.
Preserved in excellent condition and complete with its accessories, the present Cartier Santos Dumont “Les Flaneurs” is paired with a stunning green crocodile strap that is perfect for the passionate individual who shares the same love for watch collecting.

Artist Biography
Cartier
French
With the Constitution of 1848 came a new standard for luxury in France. Founded one year prior by Louis-Francois Cartier, the house of Cartier was one of the first to use platinum in jewelry making. This incredibly expensive material became the stepping-stone for Cartier to experiment in form, mechanisms and attitude. It helped men move from pocket watches to wristwatches, effectively making the watch much more functional and prominent in a man's overall wardrobe.
Cartier did not only touch on functionality. Inspired by a commissioned painting by George Barbier featuring a black panther at the feet of an elegantly bejeweled woman, Cartier began incorporating wild animals in his designs—most notably, Cartier Panthère rings, bangle bracelets and watches. Yet it wasn't until the late 1960s that the house of Cartier debuted their iconic yellow and rose gold LOVE collection, which includes the famous bracelet that only a special screwdriver can open.
