Cartier

Among the watches released at the SIHH 2017 the Drive de Cartier Extra-Flat is the one that above all the others spoke to me. The drive line launched in 2016 presented something different. A vintage inspired, automobile related masculine watch. In the fir...  

I can't agree more with you, this is indeed a fantastic watch and I can imagine it suits your other pieces, like the cufflinks very well. I must say that I really like your Love ring, they don't come by every day. Enjoy the Extra flat Drive! GEO

First of all congratulations on an excellent addition to your collection And thanks for the review - really like the watch and your pictures make the sentiment even stronger To many happy hours with it!

I very much enjoyed your review and the watch looks great on your wrist. Regards Kev.

I didn't know it had to do with the "drive" of an automobile. I thought it had to do with self-motivation "drive." Good to know! Your post really emphasizes how thin it is. I like thin watches! Thin is elegant. Lastly, I really like your cufflinks! They'r... 

gondolo (white gold with grey) cufflinks and are great quality too. I would say both have fantastic quality and finish so can't go wrong.

Thank you for this nice review. Little question about the crown: is it not too small? How is the grasping? Best wishes Alkiro

LOL crown is good ...proportionate to the watch. Grasping seems okay but now that you mention it hehe ...I think the worst grasping crown is the one of the omega speedmaster snoopy...not sure why but it is really hard to wind. May be in my watch the crown...

But I feel like it needs a lot to turns to fully wind. And I don't get the resistance feedback that we're looking for to indicate a full reserve . (Based on my Drive Moon Phases with 1904 MC).

I believe the moon (that is gorgeous BTW) has no resistance because is an automatic movement..this being manual it does has the resistance at the end of the charge.

excellent review my friend! You nailed it Congrats and enjoy this beauty! Cheers Robin

about new pieces !! somewhen in the future I will also add the tank.. your photos are always poisoning me

Cab you make a comparison with your Octo titanium? It would be an interesting match ;-)

This is one that stood out for me from SIHH so am pleased to read your review & pictures. Thanks!

We don't need guilloche dials, complications, exhibition case backs to impress people.

really so much in love with this one..so simple yet so charming. The shape is really unique too.

That's certainly a very nice one - versatile too, considering the thinness of the case, and mainly because of it's non traditional shape.
