The Cartier Santos‑Dumont Micro‑Rotor Skeleton in Yellow Gold (Ref. WHSA0043) is a striking blend of fine watchmaking and elegant design. The skeleton bridges double as hour markers and tell time beautifully using blued-steel sword hands. The minimalist design retains legibility without traditional indices. The tiny plane-shaped rotor adds an elegant nod to aviation history, the Watchmaker community notes it’s subtle enough to be tasteful rather than gimmicky.
