Santos de Cartier’s earliest flight watch was created from a desire for freedom to soar through the sky. Louis Cartier’s Brazilian billionaire friend Santos Dumont is also a famous pilot. At a party in Paris, Dumont told his friend Cartier about the problem of not being able to easily read the time while flying and asked for a solution. Louis Cartier thought about it and came up with this revolutionary Santos flight watch.
With its famous and distinctive sapphire crown, the Ballon Bleu de Cartier Blue Balloon is truly impressive. Admittedly, this is not the first time that a Cartier crown has been set with sapphire cabochons, but the new extra-large sapphires look like satellites that are closely tied to the dial, and for the first time, precious metal bows are added to the outer edge to protect the precious stones.
