A first live picture of the new Cartier Louis Cartier Big Size

Cartier introduced today several models to celebrate the 100th anniversary of one of its icons, the Tank.

The good news is that the Louis Cartier is now available in two sizes consistent with the spirit of the watch. The big size can be worn by men or women. The small size is for women... it was not a question of case size but of strap length when I tried to put it on my wrist!

In both cases, the watches are powered by the handwind caliber 8971MC and are two-hand pieces only.

The big size is 33,7mm x 25,5mm what is perfect for this style of watch: not too large (what was the problem of the Tank Louis Cartier XL), not too small.

I'm happy to see that Cartier is coming back to its roots. Less complicated watches, less bulky pieces and the classic are revisited.

This Tank Louis Cartier is now becoming a very serious option for a dress-watch in PG. And don't forget that the Tank is a very versatile piece which can be also worn with a pair of jeans and a tee-shirt. My only remark would be my wish to replace the chocolate color of the strap by a different color... less formal. But it is just a matter a taste.

I will come back to this piece with more pics.
