A daring expression of horological craftsmanship, the Santos de Cartier Skeleton Watch Ref. WHSA0019 showcases the maison’s distinctive blend of heritage and innovation. Crafted from a luxurious combination of gold and stainless steel, this refined timepiece offers a bold architectural aesthetic, accentuated by its openworked dial that artfully integrates the Roman numerals into the movement’s bridges.
Measuring 47.5 mm x 39.7 mm, the case retains the classic square silhouette and signature exposed screws of the original 1904 design, created for the pioneering aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. Its sleek profile is underscored by a sapphire crystal and case back, offering uninterrupted views of the finely finished, manually wound Calibre 9611 MC. With a generous 72-hour power reserve and water resistance up to 100 meters, it balances mechanical sophistication with practical functionality.
The blue cabochon-adorned crown adds a touch of Cartier’s timeless elegance, while the expertly engineered skeleton movement transforms the watch into a dynamic work of art. Striking yet understated, the WHSA0019 is a testament to Cartier’s mastery in fine watchmaking and a statement piece for collectors who appreciate bold transparency and legacy-driven design.
