Alberto Santos-Dumont, a Brazilian aviator and longtime friend of Louis-François, came to him lamenting about the impracticality of using a pocket watch to track flight times. The innovative man of creative excellence he was, Louis-François made it his mission to design and develop a more practical wristwatch for not only pilots and aircrews, but also for everyone who wanted a more convenient accessory to tell time. In 1904, Cartier introduced his first men’s wristwatch, which he named the “Santos” watch. At the time, it was a risky launch for the designer since society’s elite considered pocket watches to be every gentleman’s timepiece, and mostly women wore wristwatches. But Santos-Dumont’s aeronautic accomplishments and growing fame in the public eye helped propel the popularity of Cartier’s functional, comfortable, and aesthetic wristwatch for men.
