Overview
The large Santos de Cartier skeleton in a 47.5 x 39.8 mm steel case
The Santos de Cartier skeleton, reference WHSA0015, in a steel case, 47.5 x 39.8 mm and 9.08 mm thick. Manually wound calibre 9611 MC with skeletonised bridges forming Roman numerals, on a steel bracelet with the SmartLink adjustment system.
Cartier traces the Santos de Cartier to 1904, when Louis Cartier met the wish of the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont to tell the time while flying. Cartier picks out the dial's rounded angles, the continuous curve of the horns and the visible screws.
In this skeleton the hours and minutes are read against skeletonised bridges that form Roman numerals. The manually wound Manufacture calibre 9611 MC is individually numbered, with 138 parts including 20 rubies, a balance of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of approximately 72 hours.
