The Cartier Santos-Dumont Rewind is a special creation dedicated to aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont, featuring the brand’s signature elegance combined with a whimsical horological twist — the reverse time display. Powered by the manual-winding calibre 230 MC, the dial’s numerals are arranged counterclockwise, and both the hour and minute hands rotate backward, creating the enchanting illusion of time flowing in reverse.
The watch features a 31.5 × 43.5 mm platinum case, only 7.3 mm thick, offering a refined and comfortable dress watch profile. The satin-brushed case contrasts beautifully with the mirror-polished bezel, creating a sophisticated interplay of light and texture. The crown, adorned with a cabochon-cut ruby, adds a distinctive finishing touch.
The carnelian dial reveals a natural warmth and fine texture, paired with silver Roman numerals and matching silver hands. The numerals are arranged in reverse order, and the hands move anti-clockwise—a poetic design that allows only the wearer to truly “read” this private passage of time.
Inside beats the manual-winding calibre 230 MC, which achieves its reverse-motion effect through an inverted gear train. The caseback is engraved with Alberto Santos-Dumont’s signature, paying tribute to his legacy.Fitted with a red alligator leather strap, the watch is limited to 200 pieces, and priced at €38,000.
