when a brand can create something like the Crash, the Cloche, the Tank Basculante, the Tank Cintree to name a few. Perhaps their designers had been given more freedom than the other brands.

When quartz triumphs!
By: sham1 : February 15th, 2023-06:13
Like most of us, I too love mechanical watches but I could not resist purchasing this Cartier tank which only comes with a quartz movement. For many, that would be a big no no but for me, it is the dial that matters most on a watch followed by the comfort...
Goes Well with Black.

The visual flow from strap to dial to strap is almost unbroken... well integrated. Great watch!
Thanks Steve!

I actually prefer this version compared to the earlier red, blue and green models.
Thank you Andrea!

For a quartz watch it was not easy to source so obtaining one is an added delight!
Many thanks Boris!

The watch was too elegant to overlook, even as a quartz!
Cartier classic …

This design just keeps looking better and better. The long life “High Autonomy” quartz movement has a battery life of approximately six to eight years making this movement better for the owner and the environment. Enjoy !
Thank you for the information Captain!

That explains why Cartier now offers an extended warranty of eight years. Are you sure this battery will last that long?! If so, I am suitably impressed!
Apparently …

It can be six to eight years. The main thing is not to leave a dead battery in the watch. Take it for service.
Most definitely!

Many fail to realise that to leave a dead battery in a watch can destroy the mechanism. So it is vital that we check our watches especially the quartz ones to ensure that they are still working.
I have little doubt

that you will be hearing from either Fabrizio or I should our batteries die after two years!

One thing for certain Fabrizio.........

you take much better photos than I do! Yes I owe it to your original post on this watch that spurred me on to getting one. Your posts on enamel dial Pateks did not have the same effect only because my bank account would never allow me to spoil myself to t...

I could not agree more!
By: sham1 : February 16th, 2023-02:41
three years ago when I met my partner (now my wife), she knew nothing about watches. Now, I actually ask her for her opinion before buying anything as she has taken a level of interest I could never have expected her to take. And thank goodness, she has s...
Agreed that when it comes to design
By: sham1 : February 15th, 2023-12:23
few can compete with Cartier. Hence despite not using the best movements available, their watches remain desirable because of their unparalleled style and design.
I sometimes feel
By: sham1 : February 15th, 2023-12:46
that many of the more established watch brands should be more daring with their case designs. They have mastered movement finishing, reliability and accuracy so case design would make their watches even more desirable.

for established brands it's always a big challenge to find the right way between tradition and innovation. Being too traditional becomes boring, being too creative can alienate old customers.
I guess so
By: sham1 : February 15th, 2023-16:59
although it would be nice if large brands while keeping their self identity manage to be creative to a certain extent as I believe there is a large demand these days for something different but of quality. Many watch enthusiasts are weary of buying from s...
Agreed Fabrizio!
By: sham1 : February 16th, 2023-02:37
We have never been more spoiled for choice when it comes to watches with big brands reissuing older models, independents redefining fine finishing, Cartier reiterating its claim to be the King of Watch Design plus plenty of rare handicrafts by the top bra...

minimalist & very much you in its DNA...enjoy in your best health !
Thank you very much Mahesh!
By: sham1 : February 19th, 2023-09:50
My DNA is somewhat one dimensional and predictable! I hope you manage to get the yellow gold mechanical version of this watch.
