and sold both to fund a Speedmaster but I am sure that someday I will add a Cartier to my collection again. At the moment I have developed a soft spot for vintage timepieces and for the brand Girard Perregaux - they offer such a tremendous value for money that I can add many, many GP pieces for the price of one Cartier from the same era, but when my basics there are covered I will definitely save for a Cartier again. But with my priorities other than watches now (small child, new built house, etc.) Girard Perregaux fits much better budget-wise.
