Interesting and Fun!

This is a great thread. Although I have read many articles about the history of Cartier Tanks, with my memory as it is, I always like to read these posts. This is one of the best, with great photos as well.

I love the new Tank MC, steel and gold, and the gorgeous skeleton as well. Cartier really has a talent for the best skeleton watches.

The steel and gold Tank MC is, to me, the best of the new models in the past couple of years. I like it even better than the Tank Anglaise and the Calibre models. I did own a Calibre for a while.

If a Tank is going to have a second hand, then I feel the small seconds is the best for aesthetics. While I prefer the simple dial of a Cartier Tank, with neither second hand nor date, the Tank MC is done so well that I would not have a complaint. When a date window and a small seconds dial enhance rather than detract from a watch dial, then that really is a piece of artwork.

It appears that the parts of the case between the lugs are brushed, and I wonder if the top of the case sides are rounded or flat. It will also be interesting to see if gold and steel bracelets will be offered in the future. The steel version with the black dial looks particularly stunning with the leather/croco black strap.

Thanks for all of your time and effort in this wonderful thread!

Cheers,

Hagen
