Cartier Watch Collection: Iconic Models Overview

KMII · 2024-10-28T10:18:44Z

Explore the Cartier Drive Extra Flat, a classic thin dress watch, and its suitability for professional attire. KMII shares his personal styling insights.

KMII's choice of the Cartier Drive Extra Flat for professional wear sparks a conversation on the enduring appeal of classic dress watches in a modern wardrobe. His personal preference for leather straps over bracelets with suits highlights a nuanced aspect of horological style that resonates with many collectors. This piece delves into the specific aesthetic and functional considerations that make a thin dress watch like the Drive Extra Flat a compelling daily companion.

As I often still have to don at least semi-old school attire for work, the classical thin dress watch continues to appeal. For some reason anything with a bracelet does not pair with a suit in my eyes (but this is of course highly personal). So starting the week with the Cartier Drive Extra Flat. Still in a summery strap from the last holiday (fake it till you make it 😁).

Wishing you a great start to the week 👋🏻
