A little aviation history
Time on the wrist has a place in aviation.
In 1904, Louis Cartier presented Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont with a wristwatch he could consult while controlling his airship. The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum recounts this connection between aviation and wrist-worn timekeeping.
Block Time carries that practical idea into a connected watch: keep flight timing close at hand, with deliberate event controls and current flight context.
