The calibre 9452 MC is a wonderful Flying Tourbillon

a caliber that founds its way to many other Cartier creations and I am glad that it returned to the collection this year
in the new Pasha de Cartier.
But in my opinion, this XXL Tank Americaine case was a misser, despite the fact that the watch looked very good
and was well balanced, 52 x 35.8mm was just too large, for this movement and too large for most wrists.
At the same time, the caliber was also introduced in the 46mm Ballon-bleu-, 46mm Calibre- and Santos 100 XL case.
Large was the trend in 2008, for watches in the lower price range, but that did not work for these
high-end and of course costly pieces.
Much better tourbillon models were released later on, like the very attractive 40mm Rotonde, and the 39mm Ballon-bleu.
