| wasn’t surprised when Harry told me about how limited Tank production was pre-1965, but it’s stark when you consider that, between the years of 1919-1965, there were only 2,200 pieces produced in total. After this time period, production would ramp up to 10,000 pieces annually and only grow from there. There is something uniquely [URL=https://www.ctrwatches.com/]Replica Cartier watches[/URL] romantic about Cartier pieces from this early era when holding and wearing them, thinking about streets in Paris from a world long gone.
It would be prohibitive to go through each of the remaining 34 vintage Cartiers, but I did want to discuss a few that stood out to me. Ironically, one that I initially couldn’t take my eyes off wasn’t a Tank model, rather a stainless steel chronograph that dates back to 1950. Admittedly, I’d never seen one of these before, which is a bit surprising, though I can’t imagine more than a handful of these were ever produced.
A “Cartier Reverso†combines the [URL=https://www.ctrwatches.com/replica-cartier-drive-silver-dial-alligator-strap-wsnm0008
/]replica Cartier Drive Silver Dial Alligator Strap WSNM0008[/URL] Cartier Tank with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso (JLC produced all their movements back in the day) in a gold and steel piece that dates to 1947. Note that this is not the Cartier Tank Basculante, which was Cartier’s own take on the reversible dial watch in a rectangular case.
The Tank is most often associated with the rectangular case, and there are several of these at Fane’s exhibit. A Cartier Tank “Gondole†from the 1970s has a stepped gold case and is quite reminiscent of the Patek Ellipse. However, a Ceinture Automatique, also from the 1970s, has a “belt buckle†case shape with crown protector that I can’t help but love largely due to the fact that it’s in white gold, which you don’t see often. |
