Cartier

Thanks Echi. Tank LC and Anglaise

 

Sorry I don't have wristshots of either. But the Tank LC stills well despite its size. It feels very elegant, though it reminds me of a biscuit somewhat! smile

The Tank Anglaise on strap will come next year or the year after I am sure.

Part I: New Tanks including Tank Anglaise

 
By: SJX : January 30th, 2012-06:13
The Tank Anglaise is the third major iteration of the Cartier Tank after the Tank Francaise and Tank Americaine. It is also the largest, with broad case flanks. It is a natural evolution of the Tank, since most of the current Tank models, like the bestsel...  

I love the Louis Cartier and the Tank Folle...

But the Tank Anglaise, no ! I don't find Cartier elegancy in it! I was not convinced by it. Thanks SJX. Fx

Agreed. But the Tank Anglaise will work better on a strap

I'm quite certain of that. It will look radically different. Next year perhaps? - SJX

Part II: Fine Watchmaking

Cartier Fine Watchmaking at SIHH 2012 comprises a solid and varied range. At the very top is a new calibre in the minute repeater, but there are also useful new entry level timepieces, like the new annual calendar with an eminently practical display. We’l...  

I like to see the Tourbillon in the Rotonde case.

I like a lot this case, its elegancy. And the pocket watch is... WOW! Thanks for the pics ! Fx

We'll be seeing a lot more of the Rotonde case in the future

I reckon. I do find the new tourbillon Rotonde a bit boring though. - SJX

Part III: Cartier d'Art

Next are the Cartier d’Art watches. These demonstrate various artistic skills like enamelling and mosaic, usually depicting various animals. This year sees a new technique – flattened straw – used for the Rotonde de Cartier with koala mo...  

Part IV: Jewellery timepieces

 
By: SJX : January 30th, 2012-06:16
Now for the jewellery watches. As is expected from a jeweller a mind-boggling number of jewellery watches were unveiled. The animal themed watches are all beautiful, especially the delightful panda secret watch. There are also the various standard cases l...

I wish I had MORE money. Hahaha!!! Great reportage SJX! One of these days, a Cartier will surely grace my wrist. This new iteration makes the visualization process really easier. That Louis Cartier looks very tempting now that it has that Piaget movement....
