This is the ultra-rare "Santos-Dumont LM Black Lacquer (Ref. WSSA0046)" model, released in 2022, which inherits the DNA of the world's first wristwatch created by Louis Cartier for aviator Santos-Dumont in 1904, and elevates it to an avant-garde masterpiece through contemporary craftsmanship.
The greatest appeal of this model lies in its extremely elaborate exterior decoration, where the surface of the stainless steel bezel and case is deliberately cut, and then lustrous "black lacquer" is poured in and fixed. The brilliance of silver and the deep black of the lacquer accentuate the geometric lines, making them sharper and extremely modern.
The dial features a special deep black dial with an embossed square pattern expanding concentrically, treated with translucent lacquer. Applied Roman numerals in gold (or silver) and sharp sword-shaped hands are beautifully harmonized above it, creating a captivating sense of depth.
The movement is the Manufacture hand-wound Caliber "Cal. 430 MC," which follows the lineage of high-end thin movements. It achieves an ultra-thin case proportion of just 7.3mm, boasting an exceptional wearing comfort that fits smartly under a cuff. The blue synthetic spinel cabochon set in the crown adds Cartier's unchanging elegance to the side view.
This is an extremely popular model with very limited circulation in the market, sought after by collectors worldwide. This beautiful piece is in excellent condition with minimal signs of use.
