Watchclog's initial post serves as a perfect entry point into understanding the allure of this iconic Cartier timepiece.

I have been tempted to get one several times but good ones are getting rarer by the day. Just curious, how do you wind the movement with such a small crown, or do you just wear it without setting the time a la Andy Warhol?
Not that different to other watches.
Here is mine, the Santos Dumont “La Baladeuse”. Probably the one a wear most at the moment. Lovely watch!
The Dumont was also my first entry into the world of Cartier and still love my Paris dial two-tone. So unbelievably thin, yet tons of wrist presence.
Such a stunning piece
As I remember you also own the stunning platinum salmon LE version. Though this is no slouch either - really stunning in black and white
