Cartier Santos Dumont W2006951 Manual Winding Silver Dial 18K Rose Gold Alligator Leather Men’s Wristwatch 35 mm

Before the hum of automation, there was the rhythm of winding, a simple gesture that brought time to life. The Cartier Santos Dumont W2006951 preserves that bridge between invention and artistry. Created in response to aviator Alberto Santos Dumont’s quest for a practical wristwatch, it carries the spirit of early flight and the courage to create what had never been done before. The 18k rose gold case is slim and deliberate in form, framing a silver dial with Roman numerals and two hands. Beneath it, a manual winding movement invites the wearer into the ritual of care. The brown leather strap softens with age, completing a piece that feels both deeply personal and enduring.
