• Louis Cartier develops the famous rectangular wristwatch Santos for his friend, the Brazilian aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont. It is regarded as the first pilot's watch - it was also the model which made the wristwatch, previously rather reserved for women, acceptable as men's watch.

• Audemars Piguet produces the first minute repeater wristwatch.
