Ranking Cartier watches: Santos, Tank, Panthere, Ronde

[@NA-rq9rz]

The panthere is the most beautiful elegant and comfortable watch for women from Cartier

[@oldpalmcity]

I couldn't agree more!

[@VBoo459]

Agreed but the tank could give off the same look...and women, we tend to go for watches as jewellery pieces.

[@vannaeldwijk7075]

The Panthere Ruban Is the bee's knees ❤

[@DxModel219]

Panthere is a classic.

[@AlbertusMagnus_44]

BTW, a Quartz watch is not a lesser watch. I like a mechanical watch as much as the next guy, (I have an Omega) but let’s be real here. Watches ARE jewelry and a Quartz watch is more practical and far more accurate than a mechanical one. I have both and am not “embarrassed” by my Quartz watches. As always, love the Gringa videos! 😎⌚️🥃

[@BrittPearceWatches]

I couldn’t agree more with this entire comment! 💕

[@tomknj3356]

"...and don't need a Panerai to prove it." Ouch.

[@silverstone3228]

It’s unfair from you the way u ranked the ballon bleu , you need to see it on your wrist in real life cuz it’s totally another story , super elegant , luxurious and a class on its own, please apologize 🤨

[@chrisgrieves1468]

Not a poop in the range :) Personally I am offended by your meh of the Francaise, it's the only Tank for me but that's because it's the lovechild of the Tank Louis and The King, the Santos Dumont. We all had some fun.

[@MDchaz]

Watch geeks love quartz, watch snobs dismiss it.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Oh can we get an amen!?!?! I second this!

[@yahlilevi9316]

We should accept modernity and embrace traditions And Cartier dabbles in both

[@DTProtoss]

Maybe im a snob but heres my take, the beauty of having something so simple and complex work and powered solely by something so simple and complex as a rotor or a wind its just wow. Cant say quartz watches are ugly, they just dont appeal to me as much as an automatic... am I a snob... maybe... 🤷‍♂️

[@travr6]

I love quartz in a cheap watch. Perfectly fine with my Casio Sapphire or Tissot Motogp being Quartz. If I'm paying $3000 for a watch, it better not be a quartz. If that makes me a snob so be it.

Loved your comment about men not needing a Panerai to prove their manliness! I just had this conversation last week. It seems, some women think the firm image gets softened if a man wears a smaller watch OR even a salmon dial. What do you think?

[@BrittPearceWatches]

You know, I so agree! I also just think different women are attracted to different styles! ^_^ I think there is nothing more stylish than a man in a Tank or a Santos! Also.. SALMON DIALS!

[@Chrissepisje]

You are soooo right regarding the Tank. The new Française is an abomination in the eye of the Lord. The Cintrée, however, is one of the nicest watches they ever made. Regrettably it is out of my reach. Specially since John Goldberger bought them all, the bastard. Somewhere in the middle is the solo. That said, mineral glass is dogshit. In the mean time, my only Cartier is a Santos medium. My wife has the Tank Solo L.

[@maisy4675]

OMG: you don’t love either the panthere or the Ronde. Those are the two I’m looking to get lol

[@DrFernandoHidalgo]

Gringa Sunday the best day of the week 🔥🕺🎶 As I said, all Cartiers have a place in my heart 👌🏻. On another topic………Hopefully you can bring more budget friendly brands to the channel B. You know, some Japanese brands, low to mid end Swiss watches will be cool also for a lot of people and I think that could boost the popularity of your channel even more. Also it will be awesome if you record your visits to your AD and do a video trying on different pieces. Sorry for the long comment haha Have a great Sunday B. 👍🏻

[@BrittPearceWatches]

It's that magical day of the week!!

Oh, girl! I will FIGHT you! How dare you not grant more respect to the Francaise? Ditto for the Ballon. The Santos is, of course, the only grail.

Had a Santos for a while. Recently added a Tank Must XL. Said to myself: "Okay. I've completed my Cartier journey. I have everything I'll ever want." Then my wife and I were in NYC and we stopped in the Carter store on Fifth Avenue. I saw the Ballon Bleu 40mm in rose gold in real life for the first time and realized that Abraham Maslow was wrong. There is a need hierarchy above self-actualization, and it is Ballon Bleu 40mm in rose gold.

El Ballon Bleu es realmente hermoso 🔥

[@BobLorrimer]

Yes - I have seen one it is breathtakingly sophisticated and powerful on the wrist - well done. (Every wrist is different and I was never sure about the pebble shape on my smaller wrist - whether it would embrace me or wobble around! If yours has the deployment clasp that extra weight might balance up the weight.)

[@ivanharlokin]

I REALLY wanted to like the Santos, but when I actually tried it on, it just 'wasn't for me'. I ended up getting a JLC Reverso Gran Sport. Cartier watches are beautiful, however they wear more like 'a bracelet with a watch' rather than a 'watch on a bracelet'....all very subjective, obviously. What happened to the Drive de Cartier?...a very nice sporty watch, sadly missing a bit of WR. Thanks for the video, loved the ranking system :)

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Gah! That’s why you gotta try before you buy! 🙈✨ you made an amazing choice with the JLC! 😱

[@watchclog2979]

[@briankimballkay]

Going out on a limb here but looking to garner some support: I'm getting interested in the brand new (2023) Tank Francaise Large. Even as a man with a 7" wrist, I still think it kind of works! Much chunkier and sportier than other Tank options. Does anyone else get this, anyone AT ALL?!? 😂

[@scottlalonde2878]

Great video, Brittany, thank you. Not a Cartier fan. Still... that Tank de Must XL calls me. I tell it to shut up! I can't afford you right now! And yet... There I am, looking at it on line stores. Good thing the closest AD is an hour and fifteen away, and a crappy drive at that.

We are all entitled to our own opinions Britt, but of course mine are correct, if it's my money it's my choice as I will be the loon who's going to wear it.

For now I can happily admire these watches from afar.

Beautiful list. It looks like you spent thousands of dollars on a computer to render the high-quality list (I quite like the hand-drawn list, actually). What are your thoughts on the Maillon de Cartier? Also, it is sad to hear that the Tortue has been discontinued. I think the Clé de Cartier and the Drive de Cartier have also been discontinued (I wonder how you feel about those watches too). I think Cartier is an interesting watch brand with a unique style that I very much enjoy.

It’s true it’s not a perfect watch in traditional sense. 😢 When speaking about Cartier watch, British royals had a massive impact on popularity of certain model. Tank Francaise is Princess Diana watch! It cannot be ranked the lowest either! Hahahaha The Santos looks stunning on you! ❤

I’m not much of a tank guy, but I appreciate their lineage and there’s a lot of nuance within their design language.

When it comes to tank cases, I must admit, the Reverso variants hold my attention a bit longer, they seem less precious.

Size DOES matter, so a dress watch the hides under a cuff is a great deal smaller in size that a diver that has to tell time in muddy waters of the ocean.
