WHSA0031","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Santos-Dumont Skeleton Micro-Rotor solves a problem that has limited skeleton watches for decades. Openworked movements are almost always hand-wound, because a conventional winding rotor would sit across the movement and hide the very architecture you paid to see. Cartier's answer is the calibre 9629 MC, which places a micro-rotor within the movement itself, so the watch winds automatically while the openwork stays fully visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is 18K yellow gold, finished with blue lacquer, and the bridges inside are lacquered blue to match, so the mechanism reads as a deliberate composition rather than exposed machinery. Polished blued-steel sword-shaped hands sweep over it, visible through sapphire front and back. The movement is 4.4mm thick, runs at 25,200 vibrations an hour and holds around 46 hours of power reserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Santos-Dumont carries Cartier's oldest watchmaking story, named for the Brazilian aviator who asked Louis Cartier in 1904 for a watch he could read while flying. At 31mm and 8mm thick it is a dress watch rather than a sports one. It is a limited edition of 150 individually numbered pieces, supplied with two alligator straps, one varnished and one matte blue, on an 18K yellow gold pin buckle, and water resistant to 30 metres.
