Screws from a 1904 watch
In 1904 Louis Cartier granted the wish of the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont to be able to tell the time while flying. The result was one of the first wristwatches, and its exposed screws became the mark of the Santos de Cartier line. On CT0610S the screws sit on the front and on the temples.
„We carry colour 001: a black front, platinum-finish temples and a grey polarised lens.“
