After three weeks with my Explorer ii in the summer cottage some civilising about strapping this one back on ...

Unlike AW I do still wind mine (so old fashioned, I know)

It strikes me that with an Explorer and this beauty you’ve got all the bases covered. Regards Kev.

And yes, I think you are - they perfectly complement one another. As a possible inbetweener my Reverso would probably get to stay as well ...  

Like butter on the wrist. Elegance and comfort combined. AND the Reverso Tribute 1931 U. S. Edition!! What a combination! That Explorer ain’t chopped liver, either. Ano “I’d be happy with those three” Nuevo

But I thank you for the kind words regarding all three watches! The Cartier is a Tonneau model; it shares the curve and slim side profile of the Cintrée, making it hug the wrist as well, but unlike the Cintrée tapers in the other dimension as well, making...

It’s an iconic watch and an iconic brand. Their haute horlogerie capabilities are underestimated by the public (yet sometimes but overrated by Cartier itself). My daughter has a Cartier Tank Cartier and age was and is extremely happy with it. The Royal li... 

Until recently I had a strict policy of only owning one watch per brand. But with my third Cartier on the way in the mail, I think it is time to formally abandon that policy.

It was a bad policy to begin with haha. My wife and are both very much watch lovers. The virus has kicked into the kids as well (hmm kids is probably bad choice of wording considering they are 31 and 33). We have quit a few brands in our collection with j...
