CARTIER Collection Review: Tank Louis, Santos, Panthere & Drive at London Jewelers!

[@ManoloVintage]

I was at home depot and I saw a woman checking out with a Cartier Santos watch on. I stopped her just to get a closer look at it. I've never seen one in person. It was a gorgeous two tone mens Cartier Santos that her husband gave to her. She said their daughter got a beautiful Patek for high school graduation that they purchased in Switzerland. I wanted to be part of that family so bad.

[@legoguru3000]

Lol damn their ballin

[@handbagaddicted]

Love it that there she was at Home Depot ballin in her Santos and picking up some DIY! 🤘🏼

[@tyarnold4088]

Interesting story. Would have been nice to see the Patek too.

[@VmanStudioz]

That Tank Louis in full rose gold is a stunning masterpiece; I’m so happy you’re covering this brand. Nice work!

[@Malnatis]

Christian doing his best to use his ‘inside voice’ 😆

[@MisterKnightly]

Tank watches are what got me into trying smaller size watches. I've got huge wrists (8.5'') so I'm used to 43-45mm, but I can do the smaller tanks, and accordingly, I've convinced myself I can do 39-41mm as well.

[@TomReinerDE]

It is fantastic how well these small watches suit your wrist.

[@NapoleonSuarez]

I think you hit the nail on the head with that Panthere. The Santos Dumont is my favorite vintage Cartier and I had to give the Panthere a second look because of that. There’s a pic of Muhammad Ali wearing the Santos and it couldn’t look cooler.

[@BobLorrimer]

A very pleasing review of the Cartier line up. The Rose Gold 18ct Panthere is sublime on the wrist. It is silky, heavy and exudes class. It's a Quartz - but who cares when you have that much presence at the dining table! I should point out that the earlier Panthere models had both a date window and a seconds hand. I know you have an aversion to such a cluttering of the classic Dial but for me....I like the kinetic energy of the third 'hand' - it tells you that the watch is alive and pulsing!

[@oeiras99]

One of the great features of the Santos is that it is two watches in one. As illustrated, the bracelet can be detached easily and replaced by a leather strap, included. Thus you have a more formal metal bracelet and a quality leather strap, giving the watch very different looks. I keep changing back and forth and refreshing the watch on my wrist. Very cool.

[@prnuvsharma55]

Excellent video of one of my favorite brands. Forgot to mention their new move to 8 year warranty. Keep up the great work!

[@timur9429]

Visited a Cartier Butique in Frankfurt recently and they were very kind and nice to me. Showed me all models and I liked even the Louis more than the Drive. I never thought that but after seeing them and trying them on its clearly the Louis for me.

[@leyay7540]

The rose gold Tank LC is also one of my favorite dress watch.

[@kongmw]

3:38 get the hand wind mechanical version and voila no date window!

[@mazrashid6549]

Loved this video! I have been fascinated by wrist watches ever since I can remember. I recently purchased my first "luxury timepiece" for my 30th. It was a Rolex datejust 126334 36mm fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. I remember being mesmerized by a vintage version on the wrist of a much older gentleman and this left a lasting impression. I made my pick after a year of research and couldn't be happier! I've come to the realisation that I love the classic designs/propositions/aesthetic more than anything else. During my research I can't help but be drawn to square/rectangular watches. I am currently obsessing over Cartier and JLC. I love and appreciate content like this. I've caught the bug.....

[@haydensmind9262]

good luck bud, itll never go away

[@tyarnold4088]

It's been a long time. Did you ever get a Cartier or JLC?

[@mazrashid6549]

@@tyarnold4088 Hey man! Yes I certainly did! I now have 5 Cartier Tank Musts (classic white, red, green, blue and black)!!! Kinda excessive I know 😅 I was also in a newly opened JLC boutique a week ago trying on Reversos and was quite taken by the Medium Small Seconds

[@tyarnold4088]

@@mazrashid6549 very nice. You have an excellent choice in watches. Now go out and get that reverso sometime soon.

[@bryandanielson9947]

I am so hooked on Cartiers

[@denisspratt926]

My favourite Cartier is the Drive. That is a watch i will buy at one point or another. And my favourite in the line is the CRSNM0004. Just simple, pure beauty in my opinion. Keep up the good work.

[@Sally-uu3yt]

Sameee i really like the black dial one with date. Makes it even more sporty

[@ChristopherNegroni]

We (I) need a new Cartier video like this for the current Cartier lineup 😁

[@MoniqueSinha]

The panthere is gorgeous!

[@sarat8577]

I fell heads over heels in love with tank louis in rose gold but when I wore it, I didn’t enjoy it. Panthere on the other hand was so smooth and just sat comfortably on my wrist like it belonged there

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

Great vid Christian! Keep up the good work. We need more cowbell and more Anna. Preferably Anna playing the cowbell.

[@bearclooneywatches4186]

Excellent review of modern Cartier! I love Cartier and your passion for this exceptional horological brand!

[@PhamDynasty300]

Grand Seiko are one of my absolute favorite. Such beauties they are, especially the snow flake.

[@MARKO2465]

Love Cartier ... I have seen Tanks and of course a stepped Tank. Also just purchased a Drive small complications....its a beautiful watch that I think is underrated but time will tell.

[@ladyashephd727]

Just got a new Unisex Tank with the bracelet in silver today. It's beautiful different from my pasha with blue face and triple emerald dials.

[@nikkil764]

I adore the elegance of Cartier watches. I love a Rolex on my husband but as a woman, I just don’t like chunky watches. But a paper thin Cartier or Piaget is perfection.

[@eclecticdementia]

Thank you for such an informative vid. I’ve been doing research on a choosing a watch for my wife, and this video has been immensely helpful.

[@Sally-uu3yt]

Ugh i love the drive. But it can never beat the classics like tanks and santos

[@billiehaycraft3192]

Love this new series! I’ve been watching your content since the liquor run days with Rolley lol! But it’s amazing to see the evolution of the channel and the brand, Theo and Harris

[@LNatureblush]

Great overview of the Cartier collection and including the Panthere!

[@christianebert8086]

The right choice designwise: Tank Louis WGTA0011 - NO DATE, mechanical movement handwound, however a bit too expensive

[@glenbuyer8738]

Agreed, mineral crystal though, I mean why, why would you do that at that price point. I really like the look of the tank dial, but it’s so wildly over priced

[@user-kb8qw7dy4t]

Charlie Sheen wore the Panthere in "Wall Street" when his character became a big shot, which just goes to show gender stereotypes are arbitrary. Granted, it is "softer" compared to the Santos.

[@abdulmajeedalfaifi7774]

I really enjoyed this video! I just hope it was longer. Thank you

[@mdaydj]

I adore the Tank but would find it very hard to part with big bucks for a quartz. However when you have no second hand quartz works just fine just again not at that price point. I'm not a mechanical snob but used a gold Tank would retail at £4.5k ouch!! I'd pay £1.5k tops for a quartz movement

[@iceberglyn5638]

I am glad about your theme of Cartier Wartch ! Good job

[@jhcowatchinglifestyle]

We need to do a reprise on the Roadster.... IT'S such a "love or hate it" watch, but it is a smashing together of everything on that table that you were reviewing, LOL!! I will be the crazy person on the business end of that hateful string of comments to come for that review! I LOVE IT lol! And surprisingly so!

[@Rafick203]

Wish you could have made a review of the tank solo XL gold before discontinuation. I just bought it from Jomashop but awaiting 5 weeks for delivery 😩

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Yes! Date windows ARE an interruption of the dial!

[@seattlegrrlie]

I love that when the quartz crisis hit, Cartier embrace the new technology and ran with it. Watch snobs act like quartz is inferior. It's more precise, more reliable, and easier to use.

[@tyarnold4088]

Girlie us men love our automatic watches. Quartz are still good. I have a tank Quartz. But I still prefer manual or automatic watches.

[@DW-py4up]

@@tyarnold4088oh so you’re the spokesman for “us men”? Perhaps speak for yourself and not an entire gender. I (a man) don’t have a preference. Quartz, automatic and manual wind watches all have their place. And I enjoy them all

[@mintruth]

Man...Cartier's quick release system is PURE genius!!!

[@tyarnold4088]

But if it gets tight on my wrist I can't get it off. Lol.

[@robp.7769]

Thanks so much for the review. I am wondering what you thought of the large size Santos? Could you give me an idea of what it wears like compared to a round watch (i.e. does it wear like a 40mm, 42mm)? I have about a 7.25 inch wrist and have been on the fence whether it would be too large. Thanks for your time.

[@juniorjr5328]

We need the solo tank steel, both small and large in automatic

[@timickan]

Why, so you can send your Tank back to Cartier every five years for a $1000 service, so it can keep worse time and do all this in a more fragile form? It won't have a clear case back either, so you won't see the movement. It will also be thicker so it will be disproportionate just like the XL, and it still won't have a "soul" BTW. Movements are not what Cartier is about just as Christian states in this video. Don't fall for all this "mechanical" ballyhoo that is bandied around on watch forums and blogs like I did for many years, quartz is superior by a large margin. I wish I was wrong, but after collecting watches for over 30 years, I can come to no other conclusion. And I'm reminded of this every time I send 9ne of mechanicals off for a service. I'm absolutely loving my Tank Solo quartz.

[@SunsetSheen]

Couldn’t agree more. I would’ve purchased one already if that was the case. Hopefully they get wise and release them in autos.

[@timickan]

@C A aah yes, you're mechanical Swiss movement was likely made in the attic of some ageing Swiss artisan by hand with his bench lathe, lit by the soft morning sunlight streaming through the window. He occasionally looks out the window at the rolling green hills and wonders how the other half of the world are living. Guess what? You've been had.

[@timickan]

@C A Hey just check out some of my videos and you'll see that I own and made videos on Sumariner, Speedmaster, Jaeger-leCoultre. I also have Omega Hour Vision and Cartier Tank, along with some fantastic Casio digital and Casio G Shock. I'm under no illusion, I can appreciate the mechanics of a nice wrist watch, but I do realise that the movement is not what makes a watch iconic - watches are jewellery. The Submarniner is not iconic because of its movement. Have you ever opened the back of a Rolex -yuck. I nicely decorated quartz is far more appealing to the eye. What makes a Sub iconic is it's external aesthics and the marketing ballyhoo behind the watch. So just don't get caught up in the movement hype. I used to when I was young and new to collecting, much like yourself. Perhaps you'll grow out of it, I know I did.

[@mazrashid6549]

@@timickan what size tank solo do you own? Would you consider the small size appropriate for someone who wanted vintage proportions but in steel and quartz?

[@garrettjanssen7683]

Thoughts on the Cartier Pasha? From my limited perspective, their most focused attempt at the sports watch. A ton of history and even redesigned by Gerald Genta.

[@m.e.p.r]

I love the Santos...but I would like the mid in steel lol. I think the large is too big/hate the date complication and I don't like the gold colour that Cartier currently employ

[@aintnomeaning]

Love Cartier, but their retail price for the solid-gold Santos is bonkers, esp for medium models. Should be ~19 for the medium, and 25 or so for the large maybe. They don't have the resale strength of Rolex, or the watchmaking movement prowess of Patek or Lange.

[@gerrybasas1425]

Hello. I have a 6 inch wrist.. What do you think is the right Tank Must size for me? Small or Large? Thanks for your advice!

[@gwimmer98]

I'm not sure Vincero Watches got their ad strategy figured out, showing me and ad before THIS video. Haha

[@edwardwiot6265]

Wonderful video. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the 'Roadster'. I understand it is no longer in production; but is my favorite.

[@robertmontano8026]

Love these vids at London jewelers, keep going, boom watch fam!

[@R0karn]

You keep mentioning Santos galbee but show a picture of the Santos Carre. A much better design imo. Any reason you didn't feature the new dumont? Imho I would only consider the panthere, I feel like that model is the "most Cartier" of the new pieces.

[@Alfreduim]

Hello, what do you think about ronde de cartier collection?

[@trevornesse1525]

Tank Americaine might be the most beautiful dress watch ever created. Deciding between that and a Reverso and either would be in 18 K yellow gold...

[@trevillyan5515]

I like the Cartier Pasha Golf. Even thought it's a monstrosity

[@inoname99]

The Cartier Tank Watch shown is it Solid Gold?

Aww no Americaine? :( Lately I've been obsessing over the Cintree.

A Cartier sportswatch is not an "oxymoron." Santos is THE original sportswatch.

Didnt Christian rant about the prices of the newer cartiers recently

[@user-rh8uq3fx7y]

Devjyot Dhanjal yeah, he definitely did. He’ve said that this model is super stupid for having date and quartz movement. Really funny to see him saying it’s great in this video. Mentioned the date, but still..

Beautiful watches, but I’d go JLC Reverso over any Cartier Tank, any day. Just one man’s opinion.

[@brianjoslyn7538]

Eric Leser why not both? LOL.

[@anonanon7497]

Reverso just seems to lack the class of a cartier, even if it is a higher price point.

[@CptnWinkee]

@@anonanon7497 I disagree. I find the Reverso tastefully reserved and the Cartier a little opulent. But to each his own- they are both fantastic watches.

[@ericl755]

Sorry but not agree: the drive is absoloutly not a sport but a (modern) dress watch. If a watch should be sporty, it should be the santos competing with other brands with integrated steel bracelets.

[@CrescentRollCarl]

Quartz movement. $19k...wtf

Overpriced for quartz movement and blue glass crown which they call synthetic Ruby and hands are chemically bleached instead of heating. Cartier should drop their price by half for this inferior quality.
