Santos-Dumont Rewind

What if it were possible to reverse the flow of time? The Santos-Dumont Rewind rises to this technical and aesthetic challenge. The boldness of the design is made manifest by the carnelian dial, whose subtle nuances underscore the singular personality of this 200-piece limited edition in platinum. The hours are read counterclockwise on Roman numerals that defy convention. This original and inventive watch follows in the fantastical footsteps of aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, for whom nothing was impossible. To make the apple hands turn backwards rather than forwards, Cartier developed Calibre 230 MC, a reversed mechanical movement with manual winding. This elegant watch is true to the design of the 1904 original and the pioneering spirit of Alberto Santos-Dumont whose signature is engraved, forwards and backwards, on the case back.
