Cartier
16 references catalogued.
Made in 1904 for the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who could not manage a pocket watch while flying. It has a strong claim to being the first purpose-built men's wristwatch, and the exposed bezel screws have been its signature for over a century.
References without production years are catalogued but do not yet carry a verified production record. Those fields are added as they are confirmed rather than estimated.
