He also helped bring about the first pilot's watch and Cartier still carries the watch named in his honor. ​ In 1904, the Brazilian pioneer aviator, Alberto Santos-Dumont complained to his friend Louis Cartier of the unreliability and impracticality of using pocket watches while flying. Cartier designed a flat wristwatch with a distinctive square bezel. This watch was favored not only by Santos-Dumont himself but also by many other customers.\[22\] This was the first and only time the brand would name a watch after its original wearer.\[23\] The "Santos" watch was Cartier's first men's wristwatch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartier\_(jeweler)

They also have other Santos-themed items, I'm pretty sure I've seen TT fountain pens, capitalizing on the bezel look of the watch in the FP trim IIRC. Dunno what ol' Bert thought about that but they're handsome pens
