The Most Legendary Dress Watch Ever Made - The Cartier Tank Louis Review

[@darrellsteinman]

I own a Cartier Tank Louis for 42 years now & wear it every Friday & it makes me feel great. It's the final thing to feel like a million dollars. ❤

[@RModillo]

Business casual, or to start the festive weekend?

[@ricardorgomez]

I love looking at someone's wrist and guessing what watch they are wearing. One time, I recognized a woman wearing a Cartier. She told me that she inherited it from her mother. I just love that she shared that with me. And it looked lovely on her. Class on Class.

[@blaineadams9986]

@@ricardorgomez I inherited my dad’s wedding watch, a Bulova.

[@seansmith2878]

I was shopping for a watch when I tried on the Tank XL. My wife said you should buy that watch. First and only time she said that. I also love that you can tell the time on the watch from across the room.

[@briankenny6883]

Tank XL is a fantastic watch. In addition to the iconic Tank design,…you are getting an automatic movement, a second hand and a date complication.

[@ksolan13]

The Cartier TL is the ultimate high-low watch. You wear it with dressy clothes and it gets lost... but if you wear it with casual clothes... it immediately elevates your whole look.

[@MrSaadmubarak]

First off, thanks again for another great video. I've been a watch enthusiast for over 20 years, and for the first 15 years didn't pay much attention to Cartier. But almost five years ago, I bought a Santos medium and Cartier quickly became my favorite brand, adding several pieces quickly. Last year, I bought this model, the Tank Louis wgta0011, and what a watch. I think this is a watch that you have to wear to understand. What a classy and elegant watch, it really makes me feel like a million dollars wearing it. I think anyone who appreciates elegance, will appreciate this watch.

[@khfoo2898]

Totally agree with you on the WGTA0011.

[@DiegooJohnsen]

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MAMACOO 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.

[@danieltang5167]

Great video! Thanks! While getting older, I moved from collecting sports and complicated watches to simple but elegant watches. I love the Tank LC and have collected two pieces with exotic dial, and I will continue to collect whenever I come across with them.

[@jmccarty3]

I wish Cartier would resume offering the traditional yellow gold tank with a black band. You can get one like that, but only with a quartz movement.

[@cdaack]

IMO I think the Tank is the best watch to make quartz. You get the same design and materials as old school Cartier in a more accurate, easily serviced movement. And without a seconds hand, you don’t even know it’s a quartz by looking at it!

[@LanguagesWithAndrew]

@@cdaack The problem is that you're paying mechanical watch prices for a quartz, that's my issue with it. They want US$11,500 for that thing (the large model), that's a complete ripoff, it should be half the price or less.

[@cdaack]

@@LanguagesWithAndrew oh for real? $11.5K? Nah that is a rip. It would need to be $6,000 or less for me to consider it worth it. Bet you could find it for that used.

[@KabobHope]

Like most luxury offerings it's massively overpriced, esp for such a simple watch. There is a reason there are so many homages.

[@jmccarty3]

@@cdaack Everyone else might not know it's quartz, but I would.

[@kyleweber9760]

More dress watch videos please..... The tank is a little dainty, but Cartier is amazing!!!

[@tudorserban111]

I'm too much of a peasant to wear a Tank Louis, but I do own a Tank Solarbeat and it's absolutely fantastic.

[@NerlyBellas]

Watches are so delicate and intricately designed, so I have intense respect and admiration for MAMACOO watch makers

[@jmso786]

The versatility of the Tank Louis really is underrated! I wear mine with formal black-tie all the way down to t-shirt and shorts. It elevates every outfit with a pop of class! Also, it pairs well with so many different straps to add to the versatility

[@CiarrocchiTracie]

As always the most thoughtful , well researched & eloquent watch channel around , MAMACOO keep coming !

[@dallaseggleston4731]

Love the Tank, so good job Teddy on the info, really enjoyed it, thank you.

[@Pazman333]

Good Video Teddy! I’m glad you finally featured the Tank LC. I am a Tank and Cartier fan. I have the exact Tank LC and I really enjoy wearing it.

[@stonec2166]

The Tank LC is the favorite watch in my collection. If I had to keep one then it would be it, you can dress it up or down. Excellent video on my favorite watch Teddy.

[@asvp_m3l]

Love the classy look of the Cartier Tank, really like the minimalistic and distinctive design

[@j.redbeard99]

Been waiting for Teddy to do a Tank review for a while. It's my grail watch and I hope to buy one in the next few years.

[@thomasmorrison675]

A Cartier tank is the one watch I don't have yet but definitely going to get in the future, love it.

[@theparkerstudio]

In the heist film The Town, Rebecca Hall's wearing of a black and gold Cartier Tank was the best part of an already great film. Great video as always.

[@johnnyguitar6697]

I will probably pick this watch in a couple of years for my wife's 40th birthday. And I'll get a custom made Camille Fournet alligator strap in deep ruby red to jazz it up somewhat. As a bonus, I'll be able to wear it every now and then.

[@chrisgilling1977]

Thanks yet again Teddy , always a pleasure and of course you are right , the term Classic seems to fit the Tank like a glove. All the best , Chris Gilling .

[@CoxJohan]

My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MAMACOO and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.

[@matthewstrobelt564]

Just bought the new solarbeat, in LOVE!!

[@AhavaJava]

I have a Tank Must Solarbeat and love it. I would gladly have a Louis if I could afford it. Pure icon. Class.

[@tariqqureshi6695]

One of my favorite watches. It’s stunning. Love mine

[@rodg2335]

Of all the watches you listed the Cartier is the only one I crave....even with an 8" wrist. Already in the last couple of innings in life I will have to be satisfied just looking.

[@SlickRick135]

Cartier Tank is a must, perfect with a polo shirt and jeans or dressed up. Love how it slides under the cuff without any issues.

[@JakeSchlade]

I've waited for you to do this review. As always, well done. Thank you.

[@jorelBV]

I reserved the last piece within my boutique and the next day this video came up. It's a good sign.

[@MichaelH-ck4hg]

Beautiful watch. It’s high on my list of watches to own.

[@iangarvey110]

Hi Teddy , just one word needed to describe the watch . BEAUTIFUL !

[@sanghoonlee5171]

I got this very watch a year ago. I think it should be the first gold watch for any man with a wrist under 7 inches.

[@robertschneider2189]

I love mine. Every time I wear it, I get lots of compliments and interest.

[@Macrorotor]

finally someone did a proper video review of this watch!

[@frankmirandosr875]

I don’t Have 1 Cartier In My Collection, very classic Design, Absolutely Beautiful. It is Very Small but Elegant . I like the Santos A bit Better , Thanks for the Content Teddy.

[@theONEwatches713]

Teddy looking dapper a.f. in that sports coat. Fitting outfit for such a classy watch.

[@adam_jansen]

Love Cartier Tank! I need to save mola and buy one 😍

[@AMAMBT]

rectangular case watches always had and still is having a place in my heart , during the seventies as i was just a kill that design was so popular among my family members . maybe they bought it during the sixties, but it is very nostalgic to me.

[@JosephJJ8296]

Finally! A video about Cartier! What took you so long Teddy 😂

[@enjoywriting8207]

I can't believe I wasn't subscribed to Teddy's channel.

[@Drewww71]

Great video Teddy, good stories sell watches!

[@Alan-lv9rw]

I have a Seiko version of the tank. It looks great. The gold toned SWR064.

[@piriyasantipunpitak343]

Lovely piece😊

[@y0neh472]

Hey Teddy and team! Unrelated to the video. I would love to hear your take on the best open heart watches. Especially the ones in the "affordable" range. At first I thought they were a bit tacky but now I like them more and more, if done right. I've noticed it's one of the rare subjects you haven't really touched on. You and your team have a great day and I just wanted to tell you that your videos are awesome, but you guys already know that. Cheers.

[@CoxJohan]

I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the MAMACOO has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budget.

[@robertcalkjr.8325]

My grail watch! Thanks, Teddy.

[@MarcdeSaint]

I tried it this weekend and goood is beautiful, how I’ve been living without

[@martindoyle7077]

Ive got the cartier American i love it

[@The_RealStarkIndustries]

Reverso FTW…The Tank= A classy and sleek 2-seat convertible…The JLC Reverso is the convertible with a retractable, protective hardtop. Best of both worlds and also far less ubiquitous (but equally respected). And yes…We all know watches aren’t cars lol

[@johnmoorefilm]

👍

[@Novazilla]

My WGTA0011 almost never leaves my wrist. Since it's purchase, all other watches aren't as exciting.

[@LargeEnsemble]

I wear my WGTA0011 at home and when I go out. It fits very well under a cuff. I replaced the brown strap with a black strap and the pin buckle with a folding strap. Sometimes, I opt for my Reverso Duoface.

[@WAMwatches]

This is one of my many goal watches. It edges out the Santos, and no other watch in this form holds a candle to this piece. The price is crazy high but this is truly a piece of jewelry and history. I just saw several of these today and they are really impressive. I’m a t-shirt and jeans guy but I feel this could easily be a daily driver for me. How’s the shock resistance?

[@hand.wound.horology]

Amazing piece, I own the exact one. Roman numerals, silver beaded inner dial finishing, blue steeled hands. All these combined make one hell of a watch

[@wowlsj]

Enjoyed the TL overview. However, I found it unusual that TB watch review didn't include its price (and yeah, I could always look it up). Look forward to your next icon review.

[@KabobHope]

3:49 with the specs. Hope you're sitting down.

[@LawryBoyer]

Gotta go for the small size if you’re gonna do it. Shame we weren’t able to see both but still beautiful

[@Czeron01]

Recently picked up the tank must (large). Really been enjoying it.

[@tairabonto]

Mineral glass is not a weakness. When the Manufacture was completed, Cartier set up a workshop to make mineral glass. This was originally intended to restore older models. However, without this workshop, the complex windshield of the Crash could not have been reproduced. The presence of this workshop may have influenced the Tank as well.

[@brandonsullivan9544]

Teddy: give me one free of charge!!!

[@petewilson2314]

I want one!!!

[@jackpaxton9391]

Wowee. very beautifully written.

[@Abbasshaikh42]

Went to the store to buy the Tank, was swept away by the Santos and decided the Tank had to wait.

[@jochemjurgens7997]

Same here.

[@ImaadAwE]

Dumont or Large? Also which colour dial

[@OUD4444]

Same here, Large, white dial. bought an additional black strap on top of the calfskin that came with it

[@SowerOfMustardSeed]

I think the dumont is even better than santos de Cartier in terms of aesthetics

[@killsbugsfastreallfast]

Large white dial Santos de Cartier is wonderful. The link removal system is phenomenal.

[@bmathias619]

ChatGPT I've owned a SolarBeat Tank for about two years now, and while I initially regretted the purchase, I pushed myself to wear it. Over time, it completely won me over and has become one of my most cherished watches. Its versatility is truly underrated-it just works effortlessly with anything. Someday, I hope to get a Tank Louis to share with my wife. Thanks for the fantastic review, looking forward to more Cartier content.

[@Dede10582]

Hello Teddy, thank you a lot for this review. What do you think of the Tank Must Large? More affordable but still stylish quartz alternative?

[@eduardodelfino1000]

Pura elegância! ❤

[@sol305]

I wish they made this in yellow gold with a manual movement 😢

[@thomasmorrison675]

What is your honest opinion of the Cartier tank watch in the quartz version. Everything I have is automatic or manual wind. Considering quartz this time for a Cartier tank watch.

[@AXRBiKeCoMpAnY]

Really appreciate you branching out to Cartier Teddy. I hope one day youd be willing to do a Royal Oak video. I live in Ohio and would be more than willing to donate my 26331ST for a basis of review. AP is really attempting to be a lifestyle brand these days, but the royal oak and its integrated bracelet deisgn are a huge backbone to modern integrated sports watches as you know.

[@DDd-hr6mz]

It's never in bad taste. Can be worn with jeans and a t-shirt or a tuxedo.

[@chateaubullion2560]

I had a Cartier Tank few years ago but sold it and got a JLC Reverso. I’ve been thinking about getting Santos de Cartier for a while but after seeing this video I’m wondering what I should get.

[@wustachemax]

Reverso is a cut above. Pure class mate.

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

The Basculante has that extra something...

[@michellep2682]

I have the Tank Must blue as well as a Santos medium. Would love the Tank Louis in RG. Just can't seem to get myself to pull the trigger for $13k

[@dempand4515]

Great edition. Prefer the Santos but enjoyed finding out about the Tank story. 👍

[@CaffeineThrottle]

The Speedmaster and the Tank could literally be a complete collection for me. I would have to throw a Fortis Cosmonaut,or Marathon GSAR,in as knock around at the beach.

[@3581tossit]

Teddy, it's admirable that you donate 2 dollars to charity for every dollar you spend on watches. What charities do you support and how can we, your subscribers, help in supporting the same charities. Thank you.

[@patrickformentos5489]

My dream watch ❤

[@BespokeBandit]

I just bought the Seiko SWR083 which is a Homage to the Tank. Could you please do a video on that?

[@abeness88]

Hey TEDDY, I’m not sure if you actually read these comments or not……. but have you ever made a video about which watch colors go best with different clothing? For example, does having a blue or green dial matter depending on the shirt color you’re wearing, or does it need to match with something else to make it work? I know most of your videos focus on the details and features of watches themselves, which I absolutely love. But have you ever thought about creating a video on how to combine watch colors with clothing? Does it matter?!??? Just a thought. -Thanks from a big fan

[@megasbastian]

I have a question about the number showing the four o’clock on the dial. The Roman letter for 4 is IV. The dial shows 4 lines: IIII. Is this a mistake, or they have used this to make it different from the 6’o clock that is VI? For the 9 and 11 they are correct, respectively IX and XI.

[@webvideofan]

The Cartier Tank always reminds me of Jeff Goldblum who has been rocking one for years now. 👍🏻

[@Hendog1001]

love the tank but would a jlc reverso over the tank

[@thenotanclan]

Perfection

[@Rellonxdhahah245]

you should make a video on Mr Jones watches they are great and really creative. I'm kinda surprised you dont have a vid on them yet.

[@jackpaxton9391]

That's why it called the tank? Also a very famous tank as well. I love wartime history!

[@roshanjohnz]

Hi Ted Can you suggest a Swiss made auto watch below $500 apart from PRX

[@Omega30t2RG]

Think I would prefer the jlc reverso,even though its also creeping into the tool watch category.

[@wustachemax]

Get it in gold. Super dressy. Though price tag is pretty spicy :)

[@James-nu5ln]

Chopard makes a solid 18ct gold tank with a beautiful jlc movement. Comes in at 1/5 the price of this.

[@brafya]

paramagnetic alloy that protects the movement.... are they talking about the plastic movement holder? never forget archie's reaction when he saw it hahaha

[@nickthequick]

I like the Tank, but I don't like roman numerals ... Happy to hear Teddy speaking with his old regular cadence.

[@scrhunter3901]

13.000€ for mineral Crystal?? Omg. For me the Reverso was the best Dresser. 👍🏻 the Tank is loveley and the Dial is simpley amazing

[@tariqqureshi6695]

The tank Louis holds value way better. Buy the reverso second hand. Save a ton. The TL is nicer in my opinion. Both are great options.

[@colossusX1]

I prefer the Tank Americane in rose gold. Maybe one day i can own one.

[@44daggers44]

Factoring all of this in; it only adds to the Tank’s ability to emphatically make known of its presence when entering a room, all while never being distasteful in its process of achieving the end result.

[@remus2001]

The price is absurd for what the watch offers. This makes JLC’s pricing look downright reasonable. Richemont is really pushing it…

[@BaronStVon]

Love everything about it but the mineral glass. Haha

[@NicolasMiari]

I think I would only wear a "true" dress watch such as this with a dinner jacket, so I would prefer a black strap and perhaps white gold or platinum. Otherwise great, timeless design.

[@maxinahunt8652]

The tank is very iconic but I prefer the Pasha and the ballon Bleu.

[@jamestreanor182]

Looks great, but winding a watch seems like a hassle

[@TheTruth-69]

Give me my JLC duo faced Reverso in gold every day! May have to try a Tank?

[@gfrhetjmryhfg]

I like it

[@kevinaeros]

Ca n you make a video about must de cartier
