Cartier

As promised, here are my own feelings about the different Cartier Tank MC. Actually, I had the chance to shoot them today. But I will be frank with you: they were very difficult to shoot. Why? Simply because the shapes and curves of the cases combined wit...  

Thank You very much. I really am very impressed with this MC line. I really like the photos you took, it looks like a more realistic view than the ones I have seen so far. Perhaps even a softer, more rounded look to the models than in the commercial photo... 

It is the main purpose of my reports: to bring you really "live" pics and candid comments! Thanks Carl for your message! Fx

It looks like the size and shape are perfect. Do you know if the MC Skeleton will also be offered in PG? This for me is probably the first see through watch that is wearable, as, as you mention, the spaces are small enough to give the impression that it i... 

The same movement, the 9611 MC, was released in PG even if it was not seen very often. So the base exists. Question is about the will to do it! Thanks a lot for your words Dean! Fx

Frx, Thanks for the personal review in-person. Cartier just had their Global Staff Meeting in Paris and so I await the return of my local representatives bringing home the goodies to try. :-) Some of you may already know of my dachshund's ranking of the r... 

And I agree with it! It is the reason why that I think that this line is a very valuable addition to the Tank collection. I can't wait to have your personal comments about the Tank MC! Fx

really cool to seeing the pictures. GEO

As always, it was a pleasure to bring them. Fx

Excellent writeup. Agree completely on the comments on the movement finishing. The 1904 MC is a solid movement but the finishing underestimates what it is.

I wore the Calibre and I appreciate the performances of the 1904MC movement. A very clever conception. Fx

The Tank MC looks really good on your wrists! Can't wait to see it in person though, especially the skeleton version. Looks really modern, but yet it still has that classic "Cartier DNA" in it :)

I agree with your comments! Fx

I am pretty sure I am not the only one! The direction Cartier has gone in recent years is quite disappointing. Gone are the days of elegantly designed tanks of modest size. The watch's design is troubling in many respects: it's sub seconds dial is far too... 

I already have one on order. I am a big fan of Cartier and am wearing a CPCP Rotonde as I right this and have several Tank Americans. This new MC is a home run in my opinion. A true classic with Cartier DNA.

mbeech1, Everyone is entitled to a personal opinion when it is about style and design. Thank you for yours. I cannot refute those comments that were made politely but I can fill in some facts and background to put them in context. It is difficult to maint...  

I wonder if anyone could tell me the lug width. I am very interested in this watch. It may seem surprising, but I was intent on getting a Rolex Submariner with ceramic bezel and no date. I really want a watch with a black dial. One that can be worn for ca... 

Cartier do not entertain listing specifications classified by lug width and taper. They will specify lug width by specific model e.g. 26 mm internal dimensions for Tank MC. As only the deployant clasp is supplied for the Tank MC, the leather strap is spec... 

for the quick response. I am going in to try one on this weekend, so I can make up my mind. Now that I read what you have to say, I realize that the Tank especially really doesn't have any lugs. That is really quite a wide strap, but I certainly have hear... 

Melvyn already brought you a comprehensive answer. I will reply to you with a shorter one. I really think that these TANK MC are a good trend. I found them more balanced and more seducing than some Tank I have seen during the past years. So you don't like... 

I had the opportunity to see and try on the watch at Cartier in New York last week. I liked the watch even more than I anticipated. It fit my wrist perfectly and I love the classic tank look. I had always liked the Tank Francaise however felt it was too s... 

Indeed a lovely timepiece that after along time has a connect to Cartier's historic DNA and with the size being reasonable compared to the recent large offerings,an added attraction. But the concept of putting a deposit (though refundable) just to see the... 

Hi, The picture posted are a treat to our eyes I must say !. Recently spotted the Cartier advertisement in local TV. It briefly showed the watch and starred the HK star Andy Lau. Most of the advertisement was on the star rather than the watch. Only a brie...
