Pulled out a watch I haven't worn in a while today...
The Cartier Santos Dumont (W1527751) from the Collection Privée Cartier Paris. It is a ultra-thin manual wind watch with a great fit and fantastic heritage.
The original Cartier Santos-Dumont watch was created in 1904 for famed aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont himself. Its wrist-mounted position allowed him to consult time easily during flight whilst its square dial, visible screws and pure design reflected Santos-Dumont’s forward-thinking nature that led him to conquer the skies. The Santos-Dumont is the watch of a man who set his heights high.
Always on the lookout for the two platinum variations (one with salmon dial)…

A timeless classic!
This model - or rather a slightly older version with enamel dial - was my first Cartier and still a watch I really enjoy wearing. It's wafer thin profile is juat amazing! Here in two-tone with white gold bezel. Enjoy! ...
The 2020 models have a bigger and more vintage looking crown
and the winding is a pleasure. I agree that the winding of the CPCP models is a bit hard. GEO
