Cartier Tank Basculante - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

When I heard about Cartier, I never paid attention to it. For me, it was a jeweler who was trying his hand at watchmaking, a big mistake on my part. Then I became a little more interested in the Tank, in the history of Cartier, I discovered the Santos-Dumont, the Ballon Bleu, the Must... What a slap in the face, Cartier is the first house to make me want to start a collection as the models are so sumptuous and different. My choice to start this collection was oriented towards the Tank, I am sure, it will be the Tank Must Grand model quartz (The classy, chic and discreet side disappears for me with a mechanical movement, I am obviously speaking according to my tastes and the size of my wrist...). A friend came to disrupt my plans by showing me a "Basculante". Under the spell, immediately, I want it! The rest of the story takes place on my wrist. A fine, elegant, chic, discreet watch. A rectangular case, blued sword hands, a recognizable railway, Roman numerals, the "secret" signature in the VII. Added to all this is a clever system that allows you to tilt, as its name suggests, the dial in order to protect it. A must-have in watchmaking in my opinion, and the beginning of a long love affair with Cartier. My Instagram for more photos: https://www.instagram.com/mrytchwatches/
