Cartier Tank Francaise
As suggested in a previous post, I bought my first Cartier watch yesterday — Tank Francaise, Medium Size, Stainless Steel. I also looked at a Santos Dumont and a Tank Americane. Both of these watches are on straps and given that I already have a Reverso and a Gondolo on straps, the bracelet made more sense. Plus, I liked the Francaise much more. I never expected to buy a quartz watch again — but the new design and simple beauty of this Tank simply won the day. I have to admit that the Rami Malek and Catherine Deneuve video, by Cartier, a work of art, plus the conversation between the two, were strong motivations for buying the watch. You need to watch the videos — great fun.
The Boutique experience was exceptional—I have had others with Hermes, Montblanc, JLC, Tiffany — and, this was among the best.

It looks fantastic!
I too am planning my first cartier purchase, so this is good to know!
Congratulations ! …
Looks very good. It would be great to hear how you get on with it in the future. Enjoy !
Curious... What made the boutique experience exceptional?
I always find employees at Cartier to be very very nice. But unknowledgeable. Generic. Good. Sufficient. But not exceptional. But perhaps "good" and "adequate" is considered "exceptional" nowadays since everything in general is so lacking. Regardless. Con...
Great observation.
Like you, I have found Boutique sales associates, in general, to be attentive and nice. What was different here, for me, was the sales associate was a watch enthusiast himself — very knowledgeable, of course, about Cartier offerings but clearly informed a...
Now that's good service!
Yes! It's rare indeed to see someone who's actually familiar with watches and careful when sizing bracelets. I've seen bracelets with chewed up screw holes and other scratches. Ugh!
I enjoyed the mini movie and interview too.
Why did you choose the medium model instead of large with automatic movement? Your wrist would accommodate that fine. Really impressive piece either way. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Makes sense; I figured the date may have been part of the reason.
I really like this piece a lot, congratulations.
