In this video, Christian and Rolly dive into one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century, Andy Warhol, and his iconic timepiece, the Cartier Tank. Cartier is a brand that, while they make watches, is equally iconic for their design across the board (probably even more so than the watches themselves). So what does Warhol have to do with it?
Well, Andy was notorious for wearing a Cartier Tank and never winding it. In his own words, "I wear a Tank because it's the watch to wear." To him, the mechanics of the watch didn't matter nearly as much as the look the watch not only had, but the way it helped to complete his look. This image helped propel Cartier a bit extra into the world of necessity for those who desire to appear elegant and refined.

The Tank is actually my grail watch. I finally saw one in the flesh a couple months ago - I thought it would be amazing. It was so much more amazing than I had expected!

[@josephwoods421]

Seiko makes a tank watch that is very similar to the Cartier. I just bought one for my birthday and it’s beautiful. Definitely worth trying.

[@guannan5085]

Cartier brand is a force to be reckoned with! Their sales figures are impressive, ranking number 3 just below Rolex and Omega. They make such great designs that many other watch brands can't event compete with

[@jimcook1747]

Cartier make some of the most nicely designed watches ever, it's really in Rolex league.

[@xJan008x]

On the contrary, Rolex can’t even see Cartier’s taillights in terms of design. ;)

[@jimcook1747]

@@xJan008x I think I now agree with you.

[@carlofilippopezzoli3552]

Love to wear the Tank louis 24x30 sized. It brings me to the old fashion vintage style of some decades ago. Worn by Muhammad Ali, Steve Mcqueen, Giorgio Armani, Andy Warrol, Clarke Gable, Cary Grant, Truman Capote, Alain Deloin, Gary Cooper... it's exquisit, tres chic IMHO

Congratulations to Alberto. Gorgeous watch. Fell in love with a Cartier Tank back when I was around 7 years old and saw it at a shop window display. I used to wear free plastic wristwatches from McDonald’s Kid Meals. Now that I’m a designer and a watch enthusiast I know that Cartier will be the first luxury watch brand I will purchase. Or maybe even the last as well.

[@simonandersen7942]

When looking at watches in general I often tend to gravitate towards watches with more quality movements, because I feel like I have to, to get some value for money. When looking at Cartier, that's literally never the case. I don't even take note of whether they're quartz or mechanical.

[@Tonysoprano497]

Totally get what your saying . I own a tank solo and of course it’s an eta based movement and not on any high end horological sphere . Who cares , -pair it with the right strap and it’s pure class , style personified! We have other pieces to scratch the technical issues this is about aesthetic beauty and style ...

[@o.fuchs911]

Who remembers when Christian called it car-tee-er?

[@TheoandHarris]

We all have our moments hahahaha

This was cool Christian. Your dad looks a lot more relaxed in front of the camera this episode, lovely to see.

superb video guys!! greetings from Madrid!!! I'm so in love with Cartier that I can't say witch is my favorite creation!!! Thank you guys

[@raymondbenitez2104]

Congratulations Alberto Garcia!

[@tobyshipp3988]

Christian Would you recommend the cartier tank as my first luxury watch or would you say to go for something more traditional such as a submariner or gmt.

[@skyventure4903]

toby shipp as your first purchase I think tank is an amazing choice.

[@sebgallegos]

Go with your gut

[@phernz1123]

Buy what you like and will enjoy the most, not what is recommended.

[@iluvlax100]

If you like the style, the JLC Reverso is another option, personal favorite

[@davel8033]

Neither. Wear what the masses don't wear. Go against the grain for once in your life.

Congratulations Alberto.

7:03 "First of all, that's SUPER ELITIST!" rants Christian as his father, wearing a scarf indoors, sips his wine from ESS-SPAN-YUH and contemplates the tranquil background piano melody.

[@lordmonty9421]

...also, please send me that watch for free.

[@marcusgill4116]

Cartier indeed is true beauty

[@jauharshahbaz]

Why you didn't mentioned Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso?

[@pyeclam]

Andy Warhol has an interesting and valid perspective on watches, but I feel like a lot of watch enthusiasts would turn their nose if someone said that about a Daniel Wellington or a MVMT watch.

[@gerganaandonova4897]

the way you organized the giveaway is very elegant, well done

[@timickan]

Watches are, first and foremost, pieces of jewellery.

[@melikecomedy]

Depends on your use case

[@golfbuddy1969]

I don’t think that I would put the word “cool” and Andy Warhol in the same sentence EVER! But maybe my memory is even worse than I thought.

[@Tal-wb9jn]

golfbuddy1969 if you hung out with Jim Morrison you are cool...

[@golfbuddy1969]

Tal 3 uh...cool people are cool...they don’t need help. But I’m sure that Jim Morrison’s podiatrist, or roadies, appreciates your assessment.

[@OguzhLP]

Congratulation Alberto!!!!

Love the stories...show the watches also!

[@sakethromps1170]

Hey guys... I recently bought a Omega seamaster from 1950s. Though it works fine, I would want to service it before I start using it. I went to a serving store in Boston, he says it would cost around $400 for servicing and polishing of the dial and bracelet. Is it worth it or am I paying too much for it? BTW he is a certified Rolex and Omega servicer. I hope to get some answers.

[@shemadj7501]

sure it does

[@Tal-wb9jn]

Christian you should research Gay Talese...he wrote the article “Frank Sinatra has a cold”...I believe you would relate to him...he is a newspaper reporter...

[@TheoandHarris]

I'll look into it!!!! Thanks

[@brandonnazir7922]

I feel like Rolex is too played out and every one has one, but the tank is in a different ball game in my opinion. They can’t ruin what they don’t know about..

[@denisspratt926]

Nice video. Cartier has some of the most beautiful watches. Personally my favourite is a modern Cartier. The Drive de Cartier. But there are versions of the Tank that are jus wonderful. Keep up the great work.

[@phatrickmoore]

Drive is ugly af, Tank is timeless beauty

[@kadenkeplinger4330]

This guy reminds me so much of John Mayer on talking watches with hodinkee.

[@lawatson123123]

Love and respect the design of watches, but am also enamored by beauty in technological design and function. A mechanical tank or RO or Octo that combines the thin design with the technical prowess to fit a mechanical movement without compromising the design is to me having your cake and eating it too!

[@TheoandHarris]

Love Cake!!!!!

[@glenbuyer8738]

I think you’re talking down Cartier’s history as a watch maker, I think it’s a bit of a slap in the face to genuine watch making to say they are a purely a designer.

[@casualyetclassy7674]

Cartier is definitely my favorite watch brand design-wise and for sure in my top 5 for historical significance.

[@TheoandHarris]

Agreed!! People tend to forget that Louis Cartier literally invented the first purpose-built wristwatch...kind of a big deal I'd say hahahaha

[@casualyetclassy7674]

@@TheoandHarris I certainly agree. In fact, that was the exact instance that I had in mind!!

Interesting video! But can't remember non of it anymore because I was only eyeballing your dads watch. Looks like the Cartier ref: 15716 if I'm not mistaken. Wise choice 👍

[@montrealtim]

seems Gay Talese was mentioned in the past tense. He's still alive!

[@TheoandHarris]

Sorry, didn't mean it that way!!!

[@micaylab1]

You guys need to talk about Actor Tim Curry's Cartier Tank watches as well!

[@mrg1911]

Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick, Barbra Rubin, Lew Reed, John Cale and The Velvet Underground & Nico and the rest of the freak show that made up the Warhol Factory..... Let's not forget Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling, and Jackie Curtis....and Little Joe and the Sugar Plum Fairy too! I never visited The Factory, but those were interesting times in NYC.... Warhol shined a light on the simplest of things and sometimes made them look more interesting......or bizarre! What's funny is, I discovered Andy Warhol through Lew Reed and The Velvet Underground, yet the only reason they were discovered was due to Andy Warhol.

[@TheoandHarris]

Go figure!!!!

Love your vids but I don’t care about alcohol like I do about watches. I end up skimming through the parts about the drink - I wish there was just like 10 seconds about it, and then onto watches. Just my opinion though! Hope it helps

[@davidoffrance]

Magnifique mon très cher

[@closer71]

Andy was about culture. Celebrity. The glitz and glamor of “show business.” It’s well known that he pored over fashion magazines and HOLLVW00D starlet head-shots as a child. Hob-nobbing all day and night with famous movie stars, rockers, athletes, other artists and powerful people must’ve rubbed off on him. Or at least their upper class tastes did anyway…

[@jdotrillah]

I want a platinum Tank so fucking bad! 😬

So HOT!!!!

Wow you really do have some rascal jumpers 😂 Great video I wish I was alpha enough to brave a tank. Beautiful looking creation.

When a dude like you buys a 6 grand watch, it’s for the design, but when a girl buys a 6 grand piece of jewelry, it’s silly. Stepping on women to get your sense of superiority? It’s 21st century now, get a grip.
