. . . you'll appreciate, Geo. Just our style, no? Nothing special; neither a chronometer, nor a noteworthy reference. Just a plain Jane model from the mid-'40s, probably issued by the tens of thousands. Out of all my watches, though, it's the one that rec...
Ah, but do you love some . . .

" If you had to keep only 10, which ones would they be "? I now feel the need to restrain the collection. To fund those I miss a lot. And to enjoy all of them. But, at the same time, it is very painful to even think about letting some go.... Best, my frie...

Outstanding. Educate us: What means "Cintrée" and why the hour marks has those symbols? Cheers, Nilo
Arabic
By: Geo : October 17th, 2014-07:49
Hi Nilo, the numbers are in Hindu/Arabic. The piece was special order made for a gentleman in the Middle East. The Tank Cintreé has one of the most curved watch cases Cartier did. GEO
Cool, very cool ....
