So, I was diggin’ around, lookin’ at some Cartier models, and man, the prices on Chrono24 for a W6206017 are… well, let’s just say they’re not exactly chump change. We’re talkin’ real money here. But the *automatic* aspect is what I wanted to focus on. No battery needed! That’s the big sell. It winds itself with your movement. Pretty neat, huh?
Then you got these Tank models. Like, the Tank Must XL and the Tank Louis Cartier. They keep makin’ ’em bigger and bigger, it seems. But honestly, I kinda dig the vintage size. The new Tank Louis Cartier Automatic – that thing’s available in yellow or rose gold. Sounds pretty posh, right? And it’s got a nice thickness, not bulky at all despite having that automatic movement inside. Makes ya wonder how they cram all that tiny stuff in there.
And the movement itself, the automatic 1899 MC… I gotta admit, I’m no watchmaker, but it sounds sophisticated as heck. You know, like something outta a Bond movie. What I *don’t* get is why some of these designs leave out certain features. Like, c’mon Cartier, give us the full shebang!
Honestly, though, the Tank Louis Cartier… it’s one of those designs that just *works*. It’s like it’s always been there. Timeless, ya know? You just slap it on and suddenly you feel a bit more… sophisticated. Even if you’re just wearing your pajamas.
Now, I know there are other Cartier automatics out there, like the Ballon de Cartier. They’re all about elegance and precision, according to the official website. And yeah, they’re good-lookin’ watches. But I dunno… something about the Tank Louis Cartier just grabs me more. Maybe it’s the history, maybe it’s the simple design, maybe it’s just the fact that I can’t afford one right now so it feels extra desirable, haha!
