Holy Grail Cartier Tank

[@jayhenry2197]

This video might be the epitome of "context matters". You've always had a talent for turning the ridiculous parts of this hobby/obsession into something personal and sentimental. This is on a whole new level, in a beautiful way.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Oh now THIS comment has made my day! 😭💕 thabk you sooo so much!

[@jsusna1972]

"This is not my watch. It's my husband's watch." LOL It's your watch, Britt.

[@stephen9609]

I never understand why she does that... maybe a rock solid pre-nup?

[@mdalmasum6026]

No its not! Its her husband’s watch. His name is JAMES.

[@nickjanssen]

Gorgeous watch! I have two grown up sons and with every watch I buy, I am aware that it will go to one of both one day. When I purchase a watch, I always ask my self "would they (and who of them two) fancy that particular model?" In the decision making process that is always on my mind.

[@tizombie]

It’s a beautiful and unique watch. Congrats James 🍾

[@watchpapi]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Gah! Right?! So unique, tasteful - but hey! It’s a Cartier! It’s always going to be gorgeous!

[@TerryMurrayTalks]

Love its simplicity, time telling timeless elegance.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

This is perfectly said!

[@MorganMaclellan]

Awwww cute birth year watch story 🥹 I was given my grandfather's Seiko Tank from my grandmother before he passed away. There's something special about a watch being passed down through the generations.

[@masdits]

"Our family, from the generation of our grandparents, then to our parents, and now our children, has always worn Cartier watches. It's a must-have, especially the Santos and Tank models, alongside Patek Philippe and Rolex. We were quite surprised by the new modern classic design changes, and it takes some time to adjust. But Cartier always excels in design because we’re not just buying a watch, but also a piece of jewelry. Absolutely love this video."

[@BarrySkinner-h7w]

I love that watch!!!!! The numerals on a Cartier set it apart and the platinum! CARTIER, HIT IT OUT THE PARK! OMG!!!!

[@gregmcdaniel132]

I hope one day in about 20 years from now your son gets to watch this video and own that watch and know that in the year of his birth his amazing parents were already thinking about his life and ways to make him feel loved decades in the future..

[@paulbrooke3838]

A very handsome timepiece and right up my alley - I like the idea of hidden speciality of a time piece only on show to those in the know. Another entertaining presentation. Cheers.

[@sammy_sam_leonardo]

This is absolutely stunning!!!

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Gah! Right?! It was such a delight to film!

[@jaybee1196]

So elegant. What a beauty.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Right?! Watch papi done good!

[@edwintreffers]

I just love your enthusiasm 😍 The KZbin watch world seems to change a bit. Some decide to delete all their watch content overnight and others seem more interested in showing off supercars... But your channel is up there with Adrian, Teddy and Chisholm, well done 👍 As for the watch, what a special gift for little George when he grows up 🥰 Cheers Britt, enjoy the F1 race tonight 😊

[@DrBob0910]

Well said! Teddy and Adrian are right up there with Britt as well researched educational presentations.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Edwin is HERE! 💕 to be even mentioned in the same sentence as Adrian, Teddy and Chisholm is the honour of my life! That is faaaar too generous! But this channel has always and will always be WATCHES! Sometimes I talk about F1 too much 😝 but this channel will always be a watch channel!

[@WatchesCanBeFun]

I think nobody else could’ve made this video in the same light you did. Your photography was excellent and your genuine take was not pretentious at all! Love the videos!

[@jleano609]

Oh man, that is KILLER......... those numerals are gorgeous. Anyone who knows watches will spot it and be like "what is THAT????". Never know that Cartier still uses mineral glass though? Kind of ironic that arguably the most famous jewelry house in the world can't put SAPPHIRE glass on their watch! Listening to female watch nerds geek out about Cartier is always great. Love the brand and what it represents, especially to women. My wife drooled over various Tanks for many years for their Art Deco proportions but then discovered JLC and the Reverso. Then she learned of the equestrian history and being a horse girl herself it became an obsession. As she's a very good girl her loving Hubby bought her a Reverso Duetto 266.8.44 in steel on a beads of rice bracelet for our 25th anniversary. She calls it her "jay-jay" just to knowingly annoy me but damn it looks good on her wrist.

[@bestboy897]

the dial is so dynamic it shifts from blue to purple to chocolate to black

[@scottcrowell361]

Great video Britt. I love all of Cartier and it is fantastic to see such a beautiful and limited watch.

[@SujithPrasad-y3z]

Watch are the ultimate Men's accesories！Enjoyed watching your collection. Keep going！As a watch enthusiast and watch reviewer, I can say MAMACOO this was a great choice. Enjoyed your video!

[@DiegooJohnsen]

Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the MAMACOO’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

[@anandmorris]

Its not particularly my style, but it is beautiful. I've never actually held a platinum watch, so i am intrigued to one day feel the weight difference between platinum and stainless steel. The significance of the year is really cool in relation to your son.

[@elden86]

LOL that guy saying “truth be told, what she just said was garbage” killed me! Great video Britt!

[@BrittPearceWatches]

LOL! Omg I have a whole bank of funny things Piers Morgan has said that I need to use in videos more 🤣

[@elden86]

@@BrittPearceWatches those funny snippets make your videos and channel different than others which is why, it’s numero uno!

[@Milofchg]

BEAUTIFUL and congratulations to your husband. Very well executed. That’s not a bad price estimate for a limited number of watches. As much as I’m use to seeing Cartier with Roman numerals, these turn of the century Arabic numerals work just as good if not better than the Roman

[@hellper198]

My wife just saw this video and no she is designing her watch. Oh, Britt look what you have done. All kidding aside excellent video. A beautifully executed piece. Which made me think, "If you were to design your ultimate watch, what would it look like?"

[@PocketWatchTime]

I have lots of opinions… 1. I don’t usually like the tank… I think it’s a bit feminine; however, the platinum, the dial, and the Arabic numerals really make this watch “more” masculine. I like it. 2. Stressing the importance again… That dial and Arabic numeral combo is excellent. 3. I love the idea of unique or semi unique watches… I think the NSO version of Cartier is super cool. Congratulations on an actual interesting watch. 4. Now an odd comment… The whole video I couldn’t get over the fact that you called it “not your watch“. I feel like other motives are involved here… It felt like political fakery - like the President of the United States wearing a Timex acting like he can’t afford a better watch. It’s your watch… Just call it your watch (or “our” watch).

[@christopherwestpresents]

I’ve always wondered about Cartier’s NSO program. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Ahh I’m so glad this helped! I have thought about talking about it before - perhaps I should bring it up more!

[@steelwhisper9019]

Love this watch! Yes I'd prefer this over the gold and it's fine if I only know. I kinda like that honestly. It's subtle but classic and a real beauty.

[@OmgItsfloh]

Thank you for this! I have wondered what this watch was after seeing the photos on Instagram! Absolutely stunning!

[@bayaninarciso]

I love the watch, but I don't think it can be the ultimate Cartier without Roman numerals! Your point about the discreteness of platinum, of about having something just for yourself to know is really thoughtful too.

[@THX-C]

That will be an amazing birth year Tank for George to inherit. In the mean time, may you (and your husband) make some awesome memories!

[@cerealport2726]

I really do appreciate seeing others who clearly love what they are talking about - passionate people make life worth living. I'm not enough of a watch connoisseur to have tuned my snobbery to proper levels (but give it time, I suppose...). Thus, after catching the watch appreciation bug, I have been assessing watches on their appearance, and yes, of course, what I am willing to spend (not rich, nor poor). The brand, not so important. After all, I am buying something for my enjoyment, not to wave around at people to indicate that I possibly have more money than sense, or to keep as an "investment".

[@Liz86000]

This is so soooo lovely... I adore Cartier watches !

[@jimmcdonagh1385]

A very special watch, great review, wear in good health and enjoy!

[@kaiwaterfield8073]

How can your hubby resist giving you this watch Brittany you are obviously so taken with it. All the best, John.

[@Bill.C.50]

I feel like Cartier doesn't get quite as much respect as it deserves in the watch world. Dismissed a lot as just a fashion brand. I have the Santos wssa0047 from 2022, and I love it.

[@jleano609]

If you know you know. Cartier have been front and center in wristwatch design since inception. I think because they are more associated with women's watches, at least nowadays, and use quartz some men look down on them. But women and men can think very differently about watches sometimes and I for one think it's great that there's a brand out there that many women go goo-goo over. Men too if they value classic design and proportions. There is just SOMETHING about Cartier lines.

[@Helmspete7961]

Have a feeling that after first week of November that watch and jewelry prices will have the holiday markups starting.

[@MrSaadmubarak]

Another great video. I love this watch and love your comparison of the platinum material and quartz argument...I feel the same way. I know what I'm wearing, I don't do it for others.

[@wescobts]

It is a lovely watch. As for the materials, albeit the same appearance as SS, the small grin and the softened look in the eyes of the user will tell us, it's about the wearing experience. The price is too rich for my blood, but the knowing how rare it is, it comes with the territory. As for the subject of a gift for a son, I hope he can appreciate the watch, and how it was planned so many years ahead of him to receive such a gift. Either way, best of luck.

[@aaronw4537]

Very, very cool piece! Also I didn’t know Cartier does custom watches, maybe one day…

[@dunderhay9169]

That is a very elegant and tasteful watch. I wouldn't want to own it, in fact I do prefer your version in steel with the roman numerals and minute track, because it disguises how short the hands are, and the numerals fill the empty space. It is also much easier to set and read the time although I accept on traditional dress watches this is less of an issue as they rarely have t second hand.

[@don1165]

Nice Show Britt. Touching to hear of your new family addition (George - not the watch!) But the watch interesting too - for all the ways you say. You're pretty good at this stuff!

[@aaronaaronso9013]

Dream piece. I would pay the $32,000 to get in one one

[@Yaketyyak21]

Beautiful elegant watch.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

James done good! Such a fantastic choice!

I AM HERE TO SUPPORT CARTIER ARMY

[@Jay-m2h7x]

This morning! I checked my watches. Planned the night before to wear my beater citizen watch had a strap installed and everything put it on wrist didn’t like it. Took my Rolex out and fell in love gradually even though I wear it everyday and the night before even. Guess what watch I chose to wear? The Rolex. It’s my “tackle life and make decisions” watch. Fills a very niche need that I have which my omega dress piece can’t. The omega helps me tackle on perplexing situations but not make decisions. 🤷‍♂️

[@smooth_bezel]

Great video and review Britt. This might be one of the best Cartier Tanks I have seen. I think the idea of this being George's one day is very sweet, he couldn't ask for a better heirloom. Maybe Patek, but this one he wouldn't really own, he would just merely look aft...you know the drill 😂

[@MrFloRolf]

That's the first time I am hearing about the NSO and it sounds freaking amazing 😅 thanks for sharing! I've also very recently fallen for the idea of having a precious metal watch but it's really just so hard to justify :(

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Ahhh! Right?! I first learned about the NSO program a couple years ago and I just thought it was the best! Every few months I sit around daydreaming what I’d create. Definitely a Cloche! I just can’t afford it 🤣 but hey! Maybe one day!

[@michellep2682]

I love this Cartier. So sexy. At least it is a watch you can borrow since it's on a strap.

[@dionnemullins1512]

Man oh man! That ruby cab got me STUCK! 👏🏾 😊

[@verynormalman]

BP, T4YC: I popped into a Cartier boutique and have commissioned a bioceramic version of the tank model, with seven versions each in a very vibrant coloured plastic case, ooooooppppsss, bioceramic case. They promised it will be ready in 2025, and will definitely be 1 of 1 for each colour, at a cost of $15K each. While I was waiting, I looked into the file, and there was a plan enclosed saying that this model would become "limited" and instructions on where the queues would be routed around the specially chosen sites. The final bit of paper in the file, talked about how it will be available on line for $299.

[@cos-9113]

Dial really sets this apart from the regular, IMHO hum drum, Tank into a very nice dress watch.

[@OrdinaryWatchGuy]

4:39 - Every watch addict has had this conversation with someone who doesn't get it. I know when I'm doing those mental gymnastics, and I also need help. Great video. I totally relate.

[@Officially_UnCertified]

Absolutely gorgeous 💜 Hopefully I’ll get to see it in person at a redbar some day 🙏 Fantastic video as always, Britt!

[@b_altmann]

This is a superb Tank version! - You will have to have quite the spend history to be considered for an NSO generally. Once that hurdle is passed, the question is: which model will you get? The platinum weight is really something. The Tank Must is a featherweight compared to this, but I'm still glad they make it. That way I can experience the Tank Louis design at a fraction of the cost (Tank Louis méchanique off the shelf: £12k).

[@TrumanBurbankFE]

If your hubby is allowed to order a Cartier Crash, then I'll be impressed.

[@caktaylor]

The mostest specialist watch!

[@geekanoids]

Curious if your Tank is a solarbeat and if you are happy with it?

[@tucsondillinger5407]

Congrats on getting a grail 🎉

George is already a very lucky kid!

Classy watch! Love it

[@jamesblonde2271]

I've been seeing this all over Papi's feed, He just dailys it doesn't he? Respect, its a beaut. I wonder if people running away from the Cubitas will buy Cartier instead, certainly I want one a bit more now. 😂

You started the Chanel when you drunk alcohol on air and you were funny. Yes I was one of the few, cheers.

Killer watch!

[@uncles2000]

The Cartier tool watch. When you need to ask the help to change the oil in your 3.8 XKE.

[@cerealport2726]

I thought a tool watch was a possible descriptor of the person wearing it.... but I jest, of course, here I am slightly wishing I had this watch.

[@sharktimewatch]

Britt, awesome video and what an idea for a future gift for George.

[@davidsandrovitch7635]

Well, Britt, I found it very interesting. Thank you.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Not bad the only 2 Cartier watches I would buy is either a Classic Cartier Tank or a mid sized Santos

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

For 1/5 in the world 🗺️ It’s damn good value ! But I would love to have it as an Automatic.

[@arqmnl]

Beautiful!

[@VDA194]

I just bought a vintage Seiko tank (black and silver) from the eighties that I'm in love with. I put it on a mesh bracelet and it is perfect. I like mine more than this one because it has the traditional Roman numerals. $50 bucks on eBay. P. S. I am waiting on the Gold and black model and I may just complete my collection forever!!! Doubt it 😂.

I love this thing 😍😍

[@tiffer67]

[@Hoppetakeyama]

[@vietmontague]

Great watch. Would love to hear the story about how your husband procured the watch, was it second hand or is he part of the Paris Watch Club?

[@watchpapi]

It was new through the club (through an intro from a collector friend).

[@shaunpatrick8345]

That's a good one to flex when you go to the Rolex AD to ask about the Celebration waitlist. The serifs on the 1s and 2s are just wonderful.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

🤣 I KEEP ASKING! But I haven’t asked wearing this yet. So maybe this will help my luck?! 🙈 but I completely agree - I wish I talked more on the font! It’s so fun and wacky!

[@TheNeonTruth]

So how much of a spend history do you need to do a NSO?

[@TheSteathysniper]

i love that tank

[@lewdwig]

Actually it's the tank normale privee in platinum but this is nice too

[@syktgrei]

This is special, congrats James! I’m so jelly! 🪼 I think it’s about a time for a new Watch Papi collection update.

[@WAMwatches]

Cool video. I’d like to see one just focusing g on Cartier Tanks. More than a ranking like a little run down. I like the pieces but I don’t know all my options and I need someone to tell me what I think… so… get on that. 😂😂😂

[@randylovin472]

Lovely watch for a lovely purpose. The spec is 🤌. I couldn’t think of a better heirloom.

[@jethrojacinto2798]

Just curious - is James the kind of husband to let you borrow his watches to wear for days or even weeks if you simply ask him? If so, I feel like I would be that kind of husband honestly.

[@watchpapi]

I am, and we often do swap watches about for weeks on end. I also lend them out to friends.

[@cjblazer385]

I love platinum and that watch is a stunning heirloom. People that complain about precious metals in luxury watches are hilarious. “Why would you spend tens of thousands on a small piece of precious metal when you could be shrewd as spend thousands on small piece of stainless steel…” I mean I like both but don’t act like you have found some sensible logical path in this hobby. 😂

[@BrittPearceWatches]

LOLLLL! I am stealing this like “don’t act like you found some sensible logical path in this hobby” 🤣 ITS TRUE! I love precious metals! To me, it’s just so special! I really hope I can afford a precious metal piece one day. But you know, I never thought I’d own a Rolex in my wildest dreams ! So I’ve already won the lottery.

[@JoshSweet]

@@cjblazer385 There are tiers of price vs value…. When you get a specialized movement or a handcrafted and hand finished piece, the price is far more justified. When you get a basic movement, in a basic case, that is priced far more than the actual metal is possibly worth, it doesn’t make nearly as much sense….

[@stevenbennett3922]

Given that the Cartier is a NSO it goes to show, how shall I put this, what a mark up there appears to be on a Rolex.

[@markchen5710]

beautiful

[@kkf4]

Was the strap terrible and stiff like the ones that come on other Cartier Tanks?

[@watchpapi]

Yup.

Looks soooooo nice!!

As a Gift for the next gen: Great.

[@SrinivasanR-nd1uy]

Is it available and in which market and what price? Please post your reply thanks God bless you

[@JoshSweet]

Platinum is $1000/oz White Gold is $1500-1800/oz Gold is $2700/oz There is no reason that platinum watches should be more expensive than gold watches….. (If you think that machining platinum vs gold is harder, they are both easier to machine than steel or titanium …..)
