| Running now through February 19th at Dover Street Market here in Los Angeles’ Arts District is an unexpected and totally captivating vintage Replica Cartier de watches exhibition by Harry Fane, who is a British collector, gallerist, and Cartier expert. Dover Street Market is a large retail space that sells brands like Comme des Gar�ons (whose founder, Rei Kawakubo, opened the multi-city space) and Maison Margiela. I love that Fane chose such a compelling venue that doesn’t fall into the usual Beverly Hills spots, which can get pretty stale and a bit obvious. The exhibit is a collection of 36 important vintage Cartier watches and, while there is a focus on the Tank, there are several other vintage Cartier pieces, as well. The watches exhibited include several Tank Normale (which was the first Tank), several Cintr�e pieces, a Cartier Reverso, a Cartier/Piaget Tank, and others that I’ll discuss here.
In a world of Rolex and Patek Philippe Replica Cartier watches consuming so much attention in the vintage world, Harry Fane comes off as a bit of an evangelist when opining about his beloved vintage Cartier, specifically the Tank dating between 1919 and 1965, though there are a handful of exceptions. I went to see him at the Dover Street Market on the second day of his exhibit, and he informed me that it would be 35 vintage Cartier rather than 36, |
