Cartier

Hi, I am about to get married and want to buy my wife a watch as a wedding present.

I am interested in buying her a Tank Solo as I like the simplicity of the dial and the high polish of the bracelet - and I also think Cartier has that certain touch of class. The decision I am struggling with is the size - do I go for the small (which is designated as a ladies watch) or the large (which is detailed as mens).

This will be her first watch of such quality and I want to get it right. She currently wears a watch with a 35mm round dial - so could wear either.

Does anyone have any thoughts/comments?

Regards, Patrick

EDITOR'S UPDATE:

Watch chosen was Tank Solo (photo below) 

Actual bracelet more sparkles......

The smaller sized Cartier Tank Solo is 31mm while the larger sized is 35mm.

Since she's used to wearing a 35mm round, I wouldn't go smaller.

Even if the rectangular watch will look a bit larger.

The Cartier watch icon in it's own lifetime is the Cartier Ballon Bleu.

You can start with the simple time-only and metal case....

Or you could go flatter....

Finally, you could go white.....

With Cartier, I'm sure she will love you long time.........

Good Luck,

First of all: congratulations and have a great party!!
Back to the question in hand: I would also go for 35 mm. As 31 mm can look a bit grandma like. But as stated below; indeed ask a fitting from another lady with roughly the same wrist size.

I love it because it is a flat Tank...

Perfect on a man or on a lady's wrist.

Here is another users POV.

I agree with FX it works for a Man or a Women.  Very classic/modern and timeless.

The Tank Solo is super classic. Great choice!
Being rectangular they may wear bigger. So best to try both sizes and then decide. If it's meant as a surprise, try to get a lady friend or sales assistant with roughly the same wrist size as your wife's as a wrist model and you can assess better
Congrats in advance too!

It is always good to deal with lady sales assistant... even for men's watches! Fx

Gents you all may recall I was thinking about buying a Cartier Tank Solo for my 'wife to be' as a wedding present. I couldn't decide between the medium and large case - I went with the large case and I am pleased to say she is absolutley delighted with the watch.

It looks fantastic on her and whilst she has a small wrist, the watch face sits perfectly (due to it being so slim) and the bracelet sparkles in a number of different ways. A very classy watch for a very special lady.

Thanks for all your help and advice.
