Am sold on Cartier

[daveo5]

Granted a lot of people do not view Cartier as a watch manufacturer. Mention Cartier and gorgeous pieces of jewelry come to mind. In the past six months my view of Cartier has changed. They are a watch manufacturer, in fact the third largest in Switzerland following Rolex and Omega. What’s changed my mind is the ownership of two different Tank models. The W. G. Tank Francaise is an automatic with date. Mine is the large, men’s size model. My other Tank is the SolarBeat. Again I have the large size. It is only in stainless steel. Unique, even though a quartz, is the battery. Good for 16 years! Developed in-house. It is a two hand only watch, nothing else. The name SolarBeat comes from the fact the battery is charged through the dial, with any light source. The strap is vegan, 40% apple peelings. Cartier in the past few years has taken to developing in-house movements.
