Review Cartier Santos-Dumont Skeleton Watch Replica In White Gold - Stripped To The Bone!

When talking watches, skeletons can often be very attractive, especially when they’re stripped down to the bare minimum. When the Santos 100 Skeleton was released in 2009, Cartier introduced a whole new type of skeleton watch, Cartier Santos Dumont Skeleton watch replica. Now you may wonder, what can be that new? Well, ‘La Maison’ did it the ‘Cartier way’, by designing a whole new caliber completely from scratch, the 9611 MC.


Skeleton Dial

The bold Santos 100 with its extra large case looked very impressive when it was launched, because of its unique style, its robust dimensions and of course because of the fact that it was the first skeleton that was designed this way. But Cartier outdid themselves in 2011, when ‘La Maison’ launched the Cartier Santos Dumont Skeleton W2020033 replica in white gold.




This model has no bezel with screws, unlike the Santos 100 XL and it has the slim smooth case of the Dumont models. All the attention goes to the amazing skeleton dial and the new mechanical movement. The Cartier Santos Dumont W2020033 replica is because of its modest dimensions of 38.7 x 47.4 mm, more wearable and much less dominant than the Santos 100 XL. Both models share the same mechanical hand wound 9611 MC caliber, that sports a power reserve of 72 hours and was created and developed especially for the Santos models.

Caliber 9611 MC

This is a movement that’s designed to be a skeleton, instead of eliminating everything that’s possible from an existing caliber like it was usually done. This way of working gave the watchmakers and designers the possibility to re-arrange the various components and to turn the movement plates into numerals, that became to function as a sort of  see thru dial and what makes this type of skeleton so admirable.

Function

On the wrist the Cartier Santos Dumont watch replica behaves like a very comfortable timepiece that shows the time very clearly in a glimpse when the watch peeps from under the cuff. This is thanks to the gorgeous blued hands, that offer a bold contrast above the see-through three dimensional numerals. Without any doubt this is the most gorgeous and eye-catching Santos Dumont that La Maison ever created. It is still discrete enough to wear during business meetings, since the concept of the skeleton dial is not loud. The watch more or less breaths architecture when the light plays thru the openings between the numerals.


Summary

For collectors it is interesting to realize that this very new and modern looking ‘Fine Watch Making’ piece has a lot more Cartier DNA than one might think at a first encounter. And that’s exactly the strength of Cartier and what keeps their vintage and current collections so well together!

The mix of brushed lugs and polished bezel helps to add some complexity to support the scalloped dial. In daylight, the silver is a warm color and has a very fine matte finish. Thankfully, for a dial that otherwise feels fairly flat, the s...
