Cartier Tank hands down

Its been around longer, unbroken in lineage, is more historically important, and has significantly more iterations that give each owner their own flavor.
And they wear much more svelte than a Reverso, even if you want a reversing feature.

Its physical function is too iconic, unique, wondrous, and fun to ignore.

Tough call.

Tank as itโ€™s historical importance can not be overrated.

One of the most iconic watches ever. We are so used to seeing it, one may easily overlook the brilliance of its design like you may do with the datejust. Even if I really love the Reverso a lot Tank is level above.

Reverso !

Cartier Tank.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : November 20th, 2022-13:37
To me that is the more iconic, the more broadly recognized. And the one Iโ€™d choose. Thanks for pulling together, a great idea.

Reverso. Duo face = double the fun.

 
 By: Nicetomeetyou : November 20th, 2022-14:25
I find it amusing that the tank has always been a dress watch, but the reverso (which has a similar look) was once considered a sports watch. ๐Ÿ˜‚

For me a Tank please!

JLC makes its own movements and has supplied other manufacturers for a long time. Cartier only much later manufactured its own movements. Clive
