Cartier Tank Américaine Vs. Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Monoface Small Seconds
Cast your vote please: Which of these rectangular Richemont classics would you choose? ...
I would definitely take the Cartier.
I don't think it is any secret on here how bad I want a Cartier. So bad in fact that if/when I get one I will promise myself it is my last watch purchase. Seriously, I have enough watches and just don't need anymore, there are other things I would like to...
At the top,of the list is a tank,
not sure I am not willing to give the quartz model a try. I haven't had a quartz powered watch since I was a kid. Always running, and accurate, and no one would know except for me and anyone I would tell, and that would be no one. A Cartier tank watch wou...
Definitely try to check one in person
Plus adding a model you've been looking at foe a long time will lift your spirit.
Most Reversos bore me to tears...
...I get the history, etc., but they do nothing for me...
I am a fan of JLC.
But in this case, the Tank Americaine has more character. So my vote goes to the Cartier.
I would go JLC due to it’s versatility… can be dressed up or down
The Cartier certainly does look nice, though +++
Reverso is an easy win for me on this one
Make it a Tank Louis Cartier instead of an Americaine and we may have a different story!

I'm generally a fan of the Reverso (I have 3), but really only when the case flips to reveal some sort of complication. In fact, I wore this one today: Reverso Chronographe Retrograde The Reverso Monoface doesn't do much for me, and that Tank is elegant. ...
Love both, agree with Modernahab
re the more complicated reverso. I guess the enamel work falls into a completely different category. For this choice I'd take the Cartier.
I love the Tank Americaine.
The Reverso is great as well but in this case the Cartier for me😊
Tough choice. I own and love Reverso (its a classic medium monoface). But the Americaine is so chic and elegant.
Problem is, until now Cartier only make large size of this model. It's too big an clunky. So I still vote for Reverso.
My dislike of Romans is well documented
That said it is what Cartier does, so respect for that. In terms of what’s under the hood and case construction JLC all day (and night). I know Cartier gets a lot of love these days,but let’s not put them on the same horological plane as JLC. This is the ...
