Horological Meandering

As many of you know on here In really would like to have a Cartier tank watch. Longines has come into picture, the Dolce Vita tank watch. I am considering a quartz Cartier tank, the large is priced at $3800, the Dolce Vita is an automatic and is priced at... 

There is just something special about having a Cartier on the wrist. And, a quartz movement would fit that bill just fine for me.

No date, and it’s simply the real Tank. The Longines makes little sense for me, except if you are financially constrained of course. Best, Emmanuel

If what you want is a new watch by all means buy a new one, I’d wait & go with the Cartier though. For me quartz or automatic wouldn’t matter as Cartiers automatic movements are nothing special.

I appreciate the history and heritage, and anything else would feel like too much of a compromise.

I had one many years ago, miss its charm.

Preowned. Do it.

If you’ll pick a shirt not of your liking based on “sale” price, you’ll end up not wearing it.

The Longines. Who knew😃

when the time comes I will get the Cartier, hopefully sooner than later, but I need to have a better 2026 than my 2025 was. Quartz is still at the top of the list, it is always set to the correct time, and is reasonably accurate, make that more than reaso...
