Itâs 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 links and celebrities now almost going back 100 years wasnât that important to her.
She simply loves the case the dial the strap. Just perfect.
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 just one watch. Mostly bought it while back just for the sake of it. No real strategy nor much thinking about it.
And then there are few brands in which we have a keen interest, for all kinds of reasons.
The top brand for both of us is Vacheron Constantin (we now got 7) second brand is Blancpain (both have 2) and then our ways part a bit.
My wife firmly believes that her 3rd brand is Rolex than Jacques Droz. I disagree because she has no Rolex (had one got stolen) she has 1 JD
However she has 3 Cartier, which she continuously forgets to mention, and most of the time she is wearing her Cartierâs haha
Time for a change...
After three weeks with my Explorer ii in the summer cottage some civilising about strapping this one back on
Thatâs a beautiful watch. So simple and elegant.
It strikes me that with an Explorer and this beauty youâve got all the bases covered. Regards Kev.
Thank you!
And yes, I think you are - they perfectly complement one another. As a possible inbetweener my Reverso would probably get to stay as well
Ooooo, the Tank Cintrée! Beautiful. CPCP, right?
Like butter on the wrist. Elegance and comfort combined.
AND the Reverso Tribute 1931 U. S. Edition!! What a combination!
That Explorer ainât chopped liver, either.
Ano âIâd be happy with those threeâ Nuevo
Nothing wrong w chopped liver in my book(c:
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 for the barrel shape. This is a pre-CPCP version with Paris at six rather than 12. I believe @geo has the CPCP version - it's even more stunning!

My CPCP version is not better looking
The minute tracking s more prominent and I do like your minute tracking actually a bit better.

Never noticed before...
but you are right about the difference in the minutes track. The size difference aside I do still envy the pommes hands on your model - they remain a better fit for this particular model IMO. I also assume that the CPCP version has a different movement, no?
Interesting that Cartier decided to go back to the traditional "large" size for the most recent Tonneau model. Do you happen to know why they did not retain the XL case size from the CPCP version?

Ah, Tonneau not Tank Cintrée, of course! Silly me.
Thank you for the diplomatic correction. Iâve taken to typing without thinking. Some would say thatâs been my usual practice for years.
When I tried on the Tonneau, I was surprised by its effortless and comfortable fit, because watches with long lug-to-lug distance typically donât work on my wrist. A stunner.

Stunning Tonneau
Cartier's first commercial men's watch that was worn by Igor Stravinsky.
Probably one of the most elegant men's watches around.

Thank you Geo
You know that I agree. And as a part-time classical musician myself, the Stravinsky link is also meaningful for me.

Can only agree
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.
Bad
