I have strong feelings about this one. I have both a Reverso Duoface in rose gold and a Tank XL in steel. My overall take is that the Reverso is the clear winner by virtually any measure. Fit, finish, design, detail work, movement, etc. By just about any measure I can think of, the JLC is far superior to the Cartier. In fact, I am a Founding Father of the "Kick the Royal-Oaks-R-Us company out of the Holy Trinity and replace it with JLC" movement. That said, the Tank is a classic and the Tank XL is a great modern interpretation of it. One possible advantage to the Tank: it does dress down more easily and has lots of quick-change straps available that makes it very flexible (thank you Delugs). I will also add that the Tank XL is, in my opinion, far superior to other Tanks because: (1) it has a mechanical movement (the same one as the Santos); and (2) it has a great silver guilloche dial that has a lot more light play than the flat white dial on the other Tanks. Final thought: if you are buying a Tank, do not, repeat NOT, buy it on the steel bracelet. Tanks belong on leather straps.

I LOVED THIS ENTIRE COMMENT!!! Especially because you own BOTH! And I think you’re bang on here. I have only borrowed the Reverso, and I own the tank! I absolutely loved every second of having the Reverso! I have decided I need to own both! I want a Reverso a lot like yours! Except mono face - rose gold mono face. Maybe his and hers for our 10 years wedding anniversary?! The Reverso is sooo interesting! It almost feels more… complex and detailed compared to the tank. If that makes sense?! BUT I DOOOO THINK the quartz Reverso prices are a bit…. Much… 🤣 I think it’s so cool! But man, it’d have to be secondary market for me! 🙈 althoufh I reckon you could ask for some money off at the AD?? Ah doesn’t matter - I’d want a hand wound Reverso! 🙈✨✨✨💕💕

Yeah, but there is no way if you had the choice that you would take the tank. Well I will take the JLC all day. It's one of my Grails. Not because it's out of my range (the one I want is though), but it's a pure luxury item for me and the day I finally pull the trigger on it, it's going to be a special day. I've always wanted it, but I want the right model.

Go try both pieces. I was interested in the Tank and tried it on my wrist but none of the sizes looked or felt right. I always felt the Reverso was too “dainty” for my taste. However I tired it on once just for fun and my mind went like “whoa, it looked so awesome!” Somehow the proportions was perfect for me plus it gave a classy casual look which is pretty much my style.

I totally agree on the price. JLC prices for the manual wind reverso literally went from 6k to 9k for no reason. But since they are both parte of the Richmont group I believe it has been done to elevate JLC in the 10/25k bracket where the brand had a bit of a gap.

I appreciate you taking a moment to mention the origins of the Reverso. On a whole 'nother level of problematic history and gross situations, I have a type-A flieger, because I find it to be the most legible, functional design. But that one came with a lot of consideration of its history, and I went with a small blue one to help put some clear distance from its origins. I think it's ok to appreciate quality designs that came from bad circumstances if they weren't themselves emblematic of what was bad, but we should be aware of the history and clear on where we stand with it.

I'd like to see a side by side of the Cartier Basculate and the JLC Reverso. Both of them are reversible, but I'd argue that you can see more the difference of the feel of the two watches. Cartier leans more towards elegance, while the reverso has more of a sporty feel, but both are very beautiful watches.

Very interesting, those two. When we compare what one can get at the same price, around £11000, then the choice is easy: JLC Duoface. I find it difficult to justify spending £3000 on a quartz watch, let alone £6700. It has to be mechanical for that money, and it is possible: a pre-owned Reverso. Then again if only £3k are available, it has to be the Tank. Such an icon and the only other version available is the gold Tank Louis for £11k. The current Tank Must Large has the same shape and size as the Louis, so that's a great way to get your hands on an icon.

Hi Brit Agree with you on JLC pricing. I’d love a Reverso Duoface but at £12600, it’s only ever likely to happen via C24 or some such. Couple of other points: - yes, the “w” word is fine, as previously discussed! - no problem with you calling out British colonialism, especially in India. A pretty dark part of our history. But, having called that out, isn’t it only right to reflect that the Tank was born out of the most murderous conflict in history, with soldiers, sailors and airmen treated as a purely disposable resource. And there were a lot more nations than Britain involved.

Second hand Reverso is the only way to go now. The price hikes are so bonkers, I think it begs the question - who is the reverso for now? Because I feel people like you or I are no longer the target audience. Seems targeted at specific territories - I honestly do not know what territories those are but I am interested in what countries they mostly sell to. China? Who knows. When I sold my hulk I bought a fifty fathoms for myself and had enough left over to get the woman a JLC grand taille. I bought her mum a small tank and bought a large one for myself. I had the chance to get the original JLC reverso tourbillon but passed on it - the dealer had the wrong box for it and it put me off. Would like to get it one day if someone gives me shitloads of money

I wanted the Santos de Cartier for my first luxury watch, but when my Sweetheart said no way given the cost, I capitulated and purchased the Longines dolce vita. Rectangular, 43 x 27, silver dial, Roman numerals, blued hands, on their black semi gloss, alligator/calf strap. It's modified eta 2824 is not cos certified, but it clocks out at a +6,-6 over 6 positions. It's understated while being very high-end looking. The only quirk is the beautiful smooth crown requires a latex glove to wind it. Definitely a poor man's Cartier, but a keeper. Love your reviews. ❤ from Las Vegas.

The Reverso classic duoface in medium was my grail for about two years. Then prices rose by like 40 percent and it did not make sense for me anymore, so I bought a Tank Must solarbeat in large size. Never looked back. Literally haven't thought about the Reverso ever since. The Tank is an absolute icon, and in the solarbeat iteration it is also very carefree. It's super versatile and dresses down very easily, it's my go-to office watch as well as the watch I wear when wearing a polo shirt. Honestly, for like 1/3-1/4 of the price (of the Duoface) I'd go for the Tank 9/10 times. It wears incredibly flat as well, which the Reverso did not when I tried it on at the AD.

I really like the Reverso Tribute Duoface but it's $13,300 and it is definitely not worth that much to me, nowhere near that much (I wouldn't pay more than about $10k for one), so I'm not going to buy it.

I'd argue that the answer is not 'both' but actually 'neither!'. The JLCs price has obviously been increased well beyond being of any good value and I don't know how people still buy them. Cartier on the other hand wants 3000€ for a Quarz watch with nothing but mirror polishing? I am sorry but neither of these watches are worth buying. There are many great dress watch alternatives that still make sense to buy and it's really time people kick both Cartiers and JLCs ass by getting other brands.

They are completely different, the Cartier being a dwarf compared to the Reverso. Speaking about prices I find it just crazy that I bought the Reverso for less than 5000 Euro back in 2009. So yeah, it was for sure a very good decision to buy it.

I totally understand your viewpoint as to the colonization history of the JLC reverso yet having a watch design inspired by a machine of war, designed to destroy and kill, seemingly doesn't faze you. Maybe it's something you never considered before. Putting that aside, there are other rectangular watches that were just designed that way without any inspiration other than the designer liked the shape. I do think that a rectangular watch is the quintessential dress watch. I'm not surprised that you lost your cabochon. They just look like they're begging to get knocked off!

I owned both at one time but eventually sold the Tank. Enough said.

Britt, a used JLC Reverso Classique is around 3k EUR. Got mine a year ago in mint condition for 2.5k eur. Buying a new one is ridiculous for almost 7k.

Heh, I would pick Reverso over Tank anyhow, it is way more awesome Unless it's Santos Dumont, that is exception

Hello and thank you again for a great video with a powerful thematic as well. I got a crush on Jaeger-La Coutrê's since year 2004 when Christopher Nolan included it in his atrezzo for Batman Begins. Yeah, since then and seeing how rocketed its price is every year passing too. Thank you for such a quality videos Brit. Saludos!

Awesome video. I want one of those two for my next wedding (I’m a divorcée and on my first wedding had an Aquaterra, but for the second one want a true dress watch). Can’t go without asking: how’s the Omega rating vídeo going? I’m waiting for it 🎉

I do prefer the reverso! Movement, dial finishing, engeniered flip flop case and finishing. There is no comparison imho. Much more luxurios watch and feeling on wrist compare to cartier tank. As i said you can choose many many options of it in terms of colors, decorations also with precious stones, double face even with masters complications. Overall is on other level that’s the truth. That why I bought it.

Cartier Tank Period. It’s priced acceptably for most while the reverse is Not!

Looks like the vintage Hamilton tank watch from the 1930s thru 1950s. Hamilton was called the American Rolex .

I'm seeing this video late so apologies for the late comment, but I think you bringing up the Reverso's history was really cool. I've seen the Reverso's polo history mentioned in other places but whitewashed of the colonial association. It also helps differentiate you as a unique voice in watches and got me to subscribe, fwiw.

I think Cartier is following suit. Those tank price increase this weeks hitting hard some ~$500. Same on the Ronde $500.

Even before the massive retail price increases I found it hard to justify the price difference between the Tank and Reverso. The flippy face feature is amusing but more of a curiosity today. Had I the means to buy a duo face or one of the really cool complication Reversos, that's a whole different level but on the "entry" level for the two models I have to go with the Tank. On a related note, it's amazing how much the two different index styles on the Reverso can make it seem more or less dressy. The Arabic numeral dials have such a different look to them and I can easily see someone owning both one of those and a Tank. As someone that owns a Tank and a Santos though, I don't think I'd have the room in my hoard.
