Cartier Santos Dumot Skeleton WHSA0030

The Cartier Santos-Dumont Skeleton Micro-Rotor (Ref. WHSA0030) is a masterful fusion of historical aviator heritage and modern haute horlogerie. Housed in a warm 18k rose gold 31mm x 43.5mm case, it features Cartier's openworked Calibre 9629 MC, where the skeletonized bridges seamlessly serve as dial markers. The true star of the piece is the functional micro-rotor at 7:30, exquisitely sculpted in the shape of Alberto Santos-Dumont’s iconic La Demoiselle monoplane. This delicate mechanical triumph captures the spirit of early aviation while delivering a striking, architectural centerpiece on the wrist.
