Cartier Tank MC Chronograph Grey Dial Grey Leather Ladies Watch W5330008

I received this Cartier Tank watch for my birthday and absolutely love it! While it is a very large face watch, it is not overwhelming. The diamond markers and mother of pearl face make the watch stand out. The watch band is a little large and had to have three links removed, but overall its a very classy, beautiful watch.

Cartier Tank Anglaise Silver Dial 18kt White Gold and Diamond Ladies Watch HPI00559

The Cartier Tank watch is very pretty and has a good weight to it. It looks like a high end watch for a very good price.I got it on clearance. My wrist is small so the small/medium was perfect. I can wear casual or dressy.

Each year brings fresh proof of an enduring reality: Cartier approaches Fine Watchmaking in its own way that puts it aesthetically and technically in a league of its own. Its R&D team has become one of the most prolific on the current watch industry scene, as is vividly confirmed by the new models presented at this SIHH 2014. By way of example, the Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendar reinvents the layout and operational mode of the perpetual calendar. Instead of the classic fixed apertures and hands, this broad 45 mm-diameter watch equipped with a flying tourbillon displays the date through rotating apertures. Their fine blue structure frames day, date and month indications that are tiered like the terraces of an amphitheatre. Nonetheless, the smartest feature of all in this perpetual calendar is its smooth and flexible handling based on an innovative mechanical system enabling the user to adjust the calendar indications via the crown and in both directions - thereby replacing the rather impractical traditional correctors that can only move the date forward.

Alongside this technical innovation, Cartier also invents new ways of reading the time and its various related expressions. In this instance, the Rotonde de Cartier Earth Moon has a truly unique moon-phase display. Its night star is a disc that can be activated on request via a pusher to descend over the tourbillon aperture. The crescent shape thus formed reproduces the shape of the crescent moon visible in the night sky. The sidereal metaphor is pursued right the way through to the dial in lapis lazuli, a mineral symbolising the earth; as well as in the constellation-like structure of the movement. Instead of linking far-distant stars, the pattern runs from jewel to jewel and from gear to gear.

However, Cartier also knows how to make watches that are quite simply beautiful. The Tank Louis Cartier Skeleton Sapphire (nom anglais a verifier, car n'ai pas trouve ceci dans les previews où il est question de Cartier Tank MC) is an extremely slender, almost transparent watch featuring a skeleton movement specifically designed for this model. To increase the sense of lightness, it is surrounded by a transparent sapphire frame that makes it appear to be levitating. In a less ornamental and sophisticated mode, Cartier is interpreting its Manufacture 1911 MC movement in an ever-increasing number of models.
 

The Ronde de Cartier now equipped with this sturdy and efficient calibre that is spearheading the development of the brand's watch ranges and embodying its steady progress towards entirely in-house production. This model with its 43 mm pink gold case proclaims its simplicity and its inimitable Cartier personality through open-tipped hands, Roman numerals and a dial stamped with a distinctive motif. It once again proves that Cartier can do absolutely everything, including simple round watches.
 

As we established last week, the column wheel chronograph is the chronograph style preferred among luxury manufacturers looking to offer a truly high-end product. This is particularly true of those manufactured by A. Lange & Söhne, whose classic Datograph model is held by many connoisseurs and collectors of high-end horology to be the most beautiful chronograph movement currently on the market. Originally introduced in 1999, this outstanding column wheel chronograph was released in an updated version just last year, with the movement slightly redesigned to accommodate the somewhat larger platinum case (increased from 39 to 41 mm) and the brand's own in-house balance wheel and hairspring. Eight outstanding chronograph calibers have been developed by this legendary Glashutte brand since 1999, including milestones such as the Double Split (based on the Datograph) and the Tourbograph Pour le Merite. The latest, Calibre L101.1, powers the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar introduced at the 2013 SIHH.  "One of the challenges presented to our movement designers is when they start to develop a new chronograph, they have to design it in a way that the connoisseur/owner can really see and experience what is happening in the movement," explains Anthonie de Haas, director of technology at A. Lange & Söhne. "They want to feel what happens when you push the start button. One advantage of the column wheel and how we do our movement designing is that you can actually experience what happens when you push the button." A new chronographic era A new era in chronographs began at IWC in 2007 after four years of development. Prior to that year, the Schaffhausen-based company utilized sourced base chronograph movements to modify such as the ubiquitous, reliable Valjoux 7750. Like the original chronograph Caliber 89360 from 2007, newly introduced Caliber 89361 (which includes an additional flyback function) is a traditional column wheel movement to power the new Portuguese Chronograph Classic, which also boasts a new automatic winding system that differs from the Pellaton system IWC is famous for. Upgraded in size, this 42 mm red gold or stainless steel wristwatch boasts 68 hours of power reserve and very clear read-off of elapsed times.  Likewise, Cartier also enters a proud new era of chronographs ushered in by its Calibre de Cartier Chronographe. Hand-wound Caliber 1904-CH MC includes a classic column wheel and a modern clutch - which confirms that it is not a modular construction added to Cartier's base movement 1904, but truly a new development. The combination of these two elements make the start of the chronograph second hand's journey around the dial on its quest to time an event rock solid; like A. Lange & Söhne's chronographs, the little quiver that is often associated with chronographs utilizing traditional geared coupling is no longer evident here. Like IWC, Cartier's chronographs come in masculine (yet still rather classic) 42 mm cases.  Entry-level column wheel First presented at Baselworld 2010, Longines can be proud of the "entry-level" column wheel movement it commissioned ETA to develop and produce for exclusive use in the brand's chronographs. According to Longines at the time, Caliber L688 "corresponded to a new taste in watches, meeting the requirements of changing demand." Clearly, this was stated in respect to those in the know preferring an exclusive movement over a widespread workhorse, no matter how reliable. Automatic Caliber L688 is a very good compromise, and as it derives from the ETA Valgranges A08.L01, quality is guaranteed.  At Baselworld 2013, Longines launched a 41 mm version called the Conquest Classic Chronograph available in stainless steel, 18-karat rose gold or two-tone steel/gold. At a price of approximately $4,950 (for the two-tone mode), this chronograph can well be said to be an entry-level luxury column wheel chronograph. The Conquest line originally debuted in 1954.  

GMT XXL - Summer 2012
Neither exactly the same nor entirely different, the legendary Tank by Cartier has evolved with changing eras and fashions while remaining in tune with the times. From 1919, the year the first Tank was created, it has appeared in a number of different guises. Cintered, Hunter-type, Pivoting, Asymmetrical, Rectangular: a wealth of names to define its multi-faceted personality. It has also proven itself a born traveller. It was Chinese in 1922, American in 1989, French in 1996 - and now appears as the Tank Anglaise - an international dimension that remains a constant guiding theme throughout the entire Cartier range.

Tank : a strange name for a watch synonymous with elegance and refinement. An oral tradition of the House has it that Louis Cartier himself likened the architecture of the Tank watch to that of the homonymous military vehicle viewed from above. The epitome of aesthetic restraint, the Tank watch with its lugs perfectly integrated within the case and forming an extension of the wristband, symbolizes modern elegance capable of stylistic variations according to the technical watchmaking aspects featured. Offering a blend of functional and modern elements, it embodies an important dimension of the Cartier style : quintessential design, the strength of self-evidence, a taste for pure lines serving to grasp the essence of the work while freeing it from details, excesses and undue ornamentation that might blur the innate sense of beauty.

The new Tank Anglaise features a concentrated shape, reinforced lines and a tauter yet delightfully ample design. This inherently generous nature is echoed in the specifics of the watch. Integrated bracelet, Roman numerals, railtrack minute circle and blued steel dagger- type hands are the characteristic details that forge its distinctive personality. Nonetheless, its authentic signature is undoubtedly its parallel shafts or carriers that now contain the winding-crown to ensure a perfect alignment, forming a coherent, easily readable whole. Connoisseurs will note that when the watch is viewed from the side, the winding crown appears like a subtle allusion to the wheel of a tank. The ultimate androgynous watch, the Tank Anglaise comes in three sizes in three gold colours, available in restrained or gemset versions. The large models beat to the rhythm of the Manufacture MC 1904 movement visible through the open caseback.

The Tank Anglaise is not the only model in the collection to have been introduced in 2012. The Tank Louis Cartier XL ultra-thin model asserts itself as a supremely masculine and refined watch with now softened lines of the rectangle and the square. A contemporary interpretation of the model unveiled in 1922, and which made an interesting contribution to the Art Deco style, this new Tank equipped with a hand-wound Manufacture movement is the thinnest in the collection, at just 5.1 mm thick.

Finally, the Tank is not always synonymous with rigorous, demure designs. Tinged with a fascinating hint of wildness, the Tank Folle perpetuates the extravagant, fanciful spirit of the 1960s Crash watch with total formal freedom. A sunburst effect dial, Roman numerals and blued steel dagger-type hands… The Tank vocabulary is indeed present, but diverted in an extremely expressive way in this off beat model issued in a 200-piece limited edition.

Reading and listening to time

While the eye, which is by nature subjective, can tolerate varying appraisals of volumes, colours and shapes according to individual education and sensitivity, when it comes to sound, the ear can barely ever stand something that is almost right but not quite... Based on this simple yet self-evident observation, Cartier has pushed its research to the peak to develop a minute repeater watch with a sound verging on perfection. Five years of work in the field of horological acoustics were required to create the Rotonde de Cartier Minute Repeater Flying Tourbillon Calibre 9402 MC watch, stamped with the Poinçon de Geneve. Since new scientific sound analysis methods had highlighted a significant number of flaws in the manner of reproducing time through sound, the first step was to redefine the very concept of sound, in other words the auditory sensation engendered by an acoustic wave. Research led to the elaboration of a new horological theory : the lighter the watch case and the broader its diameter, the louder it is liable to sound. Cartier devoted particular attention to the exterior of this new-generation classic watch. The goal was to transmit a clear, powerful, regular and crystal-clear sound with no echo or parasitic sonic disturbance that might spoil the tone of the notes intended to endow time with a beautifully audible dimension.

The Rotonde de Cartier Minute Repeater Flying Tourbillon watch comes in a broad 45 mm diameter case crafted in titanium or pink gold versions, which connoisseurs will appreciate for their incredible lightness achieved through an ethereal approach to the mechanism bearing the Poinçon de Geneve quality hallmark. The aesthetic equilibrium of this exquisitely elegant model matches its mechanical complexity. Informed observers will delight in admiring the inertia and friction governor serving to ensure the steady striking rate of the hammers, as well as the rotation of the flying tourbillon.
A recent newcomer to the watchmaking world, since it was developed just under 15 years ago, the annual calendar soon proved the absolute weapon in terms of date display on watches intended Rotonde de Cartier Annual Calendar reflects the brand's to offer its clients creations with classic and original lines backed up by impeccable developments enhanced with useful functions. In order to avoid unnecessary constraints when setting the watch into operation, the movement design team of the Manufacture developed a mechanism serving to automatically adjust the date at the end of the month as well as to display the days and months throughout the year, without any manual intervention apart from the transition from February 28th or 29th to March 1st. The brand-new Manufacture Calibre 9908 MC is distinguished by its adjustment mechanism serving to control the entire set of annual calendar information via the winding-crown - a practical feature that is sure to appeal to devotees of fine mechanical horology, especially since the mechanism is enhanced by an extremely elegant aesthetic. At the heart of a contemporary 45 mm-diameter case in white or pink gold, each detail contributes to a genuine sense of balance and harmony. There is nothing ostentatious about this model, which is instead all about discretion - right the way through to the style of the two "hammer" hands of which only the red tips can be seen, serving to indicate the calendar information enriching the large date display visible through a double open window at 12 o'clock. This fascinating sobriety may be admired through the sapphire crystal exhibition back of the watch.

Among the stunning new models unveiled this year, the watches showcasing artistic crafts provide infinite scope for the talent of the Cartier artisans who constantly explore new skills, new materials and new gestures in watchmaking. In contemplating the unique dialogue between horological constraints and traditional craftsmanship, the aesthete's gaze is naturally drawn to the fi nesse of the straw marquetry adorning the Rotonde de Cartier 35 mm watch, koala motif; the infinite palette of colours in the mosaic pattern adorning the Santos-Dumont XL watch, horse motif; the hypnotic effect created by the grisaille enamel of the Rotonde de Cartier watch, tiger motif; along with the subtly graded shades of mother-of-pearl and the enamel contrasts of the Tortue watch, cockatoo motif.
