A CARTIER Review 

I own a tank solo and I absolutely love it regardless of the movement. Timeless design. Fun to have my partner wear it on occasion as well,.

Your great great grandmother is so beautiful! Amazing that you were able to find such a precious family film

Cartier is so special. Their unique "Face" design is so refreshing and timeless. The Ballon, Santos and Calibre are so impressive to me. I wouldn't know where to start! ahhaha.

Cartier successfully combined feminine and masculine somehow

The 18k rose gold Tank Louis Cartier with the dark brown alligator strap is the perfect Cartier watch for me. This is the model that tries to stay true to its rich heritage. It measures 33.7mm x 25.5mm, which is pretty small for today's standards, but this size was considered large for a watch back in the early 1900's. The steel version of the Tank Solo has a quartz movement and a synthetic cabochon set into the crown, wheras the Louis Cartier features a mechanical movement (calibre 8971 MC) and the crown is set with a genuine sapphire cabochon. Classical yet understated, it's a timeless masterpiece.

I couldn’t agree more. I recently bought a cartier solo automatic with steel bracelet. Now I can’t stop thinking about the santos and the drive. The great horological history regarding Cartier just make me fell even more in love with the brand.

Just the read the book on the Cartier family. Trust me when you read their history and heritage you will want a Tank or Santos Dumont.

Great timing, Jenni. I finally picked up my Santos 100 last week. It is fantastic. It’s gigantic and sporty but also somehow still dressy. Really maintains the spirit of the 1904 original. My wife has the Tank Francaise, so now we are kind of a matching pair. Great video, thanks.

I loved the "archival footage." Thank you for another excellent entertaining and informative video Jenni 😊👍

Couldn’t agree more with your view of the convenience of quartz. My wife gifted me a Tank Solo, and as my dress piece, it doesn’t get a lot of wrist time. However, it’s all ready to go for the occasional suit-n-tie outing, something my 48 hr power reserve Speedy n Oyster Perpetual cannot do. Great reviews.

One of the finer aspects of the gentle art of gift giving is meeting the recipient’s desires. My sister and brother in-law are much less fussy people than I am and not given to having item that require much attention. Having luxury watches that require services isn’t something that they’d be happy about so a quartz piece serves their needs best. To mark their anniversaries a pair of quartz Cartier tanks was just the answer. Every few years they call their jeweler, make arrangements to have their batteries replaced, go to a nearby café for an espresso and a slice of quiche, and when they return their watches are cleaned and polished. During this lockdown period I was thankful for my small collection of Seiko solar powered Quartz watches including my little gold tank. My nickname is Solarman and friends call me Solar so as far as I’m concerned Seiko monogrammed my watches for me. There’s a product for everyone.

Nice to see Cartier getting some love. I dismissed the brand myself until I saw reviews of the 2018 Santos and the quick strap system. Amazing bracelet adjustment system with innovative engineering. That along with the design and the heritage was enough for me and I bought one, the large with the date. I can see myself adding another Cartier at some point, particularly as I am getting bored with waiting on a call from the Rolex AD for an Explorer.

A fun and entertaining video. This was a good way to start my weekend. I’ve always enjoyed the style and simplicity of Cartier and I would love to own a Cartier Tank Solo XL. I enjoyed the retro sketch, thank you for providing us with these great videos, I know they are a lot of work. Hello from Calgary

I have always liked Cartier. It feels a bit more... sophisticated(?) than Rolex, Omega et al. So now I've got a Calibre De Cartier in rose gold. Very happy!

Thanks for this video, Jenni. The Tank and Santos don't get nearly the love they deserve.

Great video and the authentic footage, put a big smile on my face, thanks for the laugh, Jenni.

My first luxury watch is a Cartier Tank Solo, my parents got it for me as a Graduation present. I love it to bits, I even wear it on a Nato Strap sometimes.

My wife has a medium Santos 100 and I have a large Santos (latest version) so you can safely say we’re fans of Cartier in out household. Our daughter also has a Tank Francaise!

Cartier = timeless beauty & elegance.

Extremely genuine family footage you have there!

Well, that was just adorable! Thank you for keeping things light.

Wonderful! I am the proud owner of 2 Cartier watches! The ”21” which I got from my dad on my 21st b-Day and a Tank ”classic” which I love! I also have 2 Piaget: one in solid gold and one beautiful casual watch I play golf in all the time! I also collect 1940’s cocktail watches which I ❤️ … great video - thanks!

Completely with you on the Santos 100! Fell in love with it the first time I saw its full page ad in the local newspaper in 2004 and went to the boutique to get is as soon as I could, and I'm still bringing it out to wear even today!. Also agree with the Tank, was lucky enough to pick it up in red, green, and blue (recently found out that they have stopped making it in these colours since the initial production run in 2021).

You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for you guys to do a cartier video. Keep it up!

Props to your great grandma for rocking a Panerai! ⏰

The Santos 100 has always been one of my favorite watches of all time. I prefer on a brown leather strap.

I have the Cartier tank solo and bought it pre owned in excellent condition. I love it so much and it’s such a classic look! I love the Santos as well.

I like that you pursue your own style with these sketches and the humor! Sets you apart from other watch channels

My fiancee gave me the Tank Solo, and I'm fascinated with it, so happy to wear it.

Louis-Françoir Cartier (1875-1942) was a great friend with brazilian aviation pioneer Santos Dumont (1873-1932). He asked his friend a wristwatch and played an important role popularizing its use by men on 1900s.

My wife bought me a Clé de Cartier but since I can't read Roman numerals, I'm always fashionably late...

I love your grandmother she is so adorable! ❤️

I think the Cartier Ballon Bleu should also be mentioned. Beautiful ladies watch with pretty unique design. Both as quartz and automatic.

I love my Cartier and wish they’d bring the Roadster back

Love your channel Jenni and look forward to your reviews ....Tausend Dank !!!

That Drive de Cartier is very cool looking. Great shape to the dial. I also liked the way they carried the rose gold accent to the clasp on the Santos. But I'm most impressed with the resemblance between you and your great great grandmother. It's uncanny. You could almost be the same person! 😃

Santos - hands down. Also, highly recommend reading The Cartiers.

Beautiful, love Cartier...im a scruffy biker type,(robust sportswatches) so too unsophisticated to pull one off myself, but will definitely buy one for my sister for her 50th birthday (she's into watches, whereas unfortunately my Paramedic fiancée is more into her techy smartwatches) Good episode about much under appreciated brand. Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

i love the tank solo, yellow and brown leather strap🔥🔥🔥

I got a pair of two-tone Santos Dumont for my wife and myself after our wedding. Definitely love it!

Jenni you guys do awesome content and bring in the different viewpoints that help make the viewer appreciate the subject!

Tank solo is just timeless and classy.

Love your review and the macro shots.

1:50 un Oscar pour cette femme ! The Artist 😆

I really enjoy the passion You put in your videos. I admire your knowledge and skills. Congratulations!!

I think there is a Tank in your future. That watch suits you.

Ye Olde Newspaper... That was friggin awesome Jenni.

I have two Cartier watches. A Tank Francaise in gold with a leather strap, and a Drive de Cartier, purchased two years ago, with a date/two time zone,/minute hand and daylight and nighttime indicator with a white bezel on leather strap... both watches that i am very happy with:-)

"Ye Olde Newspaper" hahaha

Pity the screws are all chewed up round the bezel..

Love my 100 but DO NOT lose any bezel screws. Cartier absolutely refuse to supply replacements instead insisting I send it to them to be assessed. I didn't need it assessed, there was a missing screw! Not a difficult diagnosis. I suspect they may have wanted to service it too. Luckily found an independent repairer who wouldn't reveal where he could get screws. Even this fix set me back around €80 though! PS - Is it the light or are screws on your 100 damaged?

I just bought a Tank today. It really fits the wrist well though. The sales person said it was the Must (redesigned with the hidden logo at 10) and may be the woman’s size. It is smaller than my Patek 3796 but may near the original Tank size. Other than my Casios, this is my only quartz watch but I love the design so much, I had to get it. Warhol was right, it is THE watch to wear.

Fun video Jenni. Definitely think you should keep the skit as a way to differentiate yourself from the other watch reviewers. And if you are a history buff, can’t go wrong doing the old timey ones.

Read about santos du monte. Guys a legend haha. A true bro.

I agree with you; that 40mm Drive looked like an ice hockey puck on your wrist! All square/ish watches look much bigger than a round cased watch......Wish the Tank Solo had curved case/lugs as it would sit nicer on the wrist.......Nice video by the way.

Great video, thank you. Wow, 90.2K subscribers, good for you, girl!

The Santos 100 bezel screws, on this watch they are absolutely messed up. 99% of people have no business touching those screws....

The Santos has opened me up to Cartier. As I compare it with the Tank, I think I’m leaning toward the Tank as being the nicer watch. Look forward to seeing these in person at some point.

All the watches are very nice. As for the video, bravo, bravo!!

Cartier is king

Love your attitude and accent. Moreover I am learning a lot. Not a big fun of Cartier but you increased my curiosity.

the tank louis is definetly one of my go to if you ask me 3 watch and no budget. The Santos is pretty cool and feel more "sporty" yes. Great vids btw :D

Great video, love the brand and your performance to show us those models. Thanks!

I want a Cartier, can't decide between the Drive or a tank watch. I'm not much of a quartz watch guy but I like the Solar Beat quite a lot.

Brilliantly idea with the silent film interlude. Love it :)

Love Cartier Santos 100 !! Ty Jenni for the great talk !

My favorite brand.

Love the Solo's design definitely underated because of the quartz movement

That authentic clip was great.

The Tank Solo comes in an Automatic version (with a date window) for only about $1000 more than the quartz version. Seems like that would be the better buy?

The tank solo is my favourite dress watch by far ..it just is tasteful in every way and much more affordable opposed too all that vulgar over priced stuff

Thank you for the great videos! i love watching your informative videos and could listen to you saying Cartier all day! I'm smitten

I find the Santos to be the best travel watch to be the one watch to travel with as you can swim in the hotel pool with it in the morning and wear it with a tuxedo in the evening.

Amazing video, Jenni Elle! Thank you kindly for the shout out. Keep up the great work!! Andy + Felix :-)

On the hunt. Appreciate the history lessons. That is why I like legacy brands also.

tank solo is the most elegant watch iv seen...love it

only 8 comments and someone beat me to it to say the Santos Medium is the one for me (!) and i need to see how much i have right now in my piggy bank. great video. many thanks.

Great video! However, I am questioning the authenticity of that old footage...

There´s an even newer model still which got introduced on Baselworld 2018 with the all new in-house MC1847 movement, "easy switch" system (from bracelet to strap) and "smart link" (size adjustment on the bracelet) without any tools. That´s the one to get and the one you should have presented here in a video launched well over two years after it´s debut.

Hi Jenni, Tank solo is really the one for me here! I like the design of its so much I got a chance to try them on at the boutique. Question is, i’m male 6.5 inches wrist, i tried both Small and Large size and tend to like to Small size more! As it is closer to vintage watch size and it predecessor. What do you think, can a man wear the small one appropriately?

should I buy the Solo Tank XL? it just looks elegant and masculine as the same time

i ❤️solarbeat‼️ & the 2nd one like a pillow so cute😛

Let me tell you something: it was Aoberto Santos Dumont, the same inventor of the first airplane who designed the first wrist watch, since when he was flying it was dificult to consult time sunce the watches back then were kept in the pocket, Santos Dumbt then asked his friend Louis to produce the watch frim his design. Great video. Peace.

I'm interested in Cartier again. Not enough to buy just yet, but on my short list.

Great review and Amazing lighting!

Great video! I like them all! But I do like the idea of sharing with my partner (even though she doesn't like watches). When we both hit the town she could wear it and I could wear one of my others :)

Love your channel! Thank you!!!

I loved the vintage bit of the video!

There is definitely something about the Tank that makes me understand why it has a cult following. Great watch. My personal favorite Cartier are any slightly larger modern Santos, just like the one you showed. Nice combo between the model's history and modern usability.

Give this woman a bloody Oscar!

People do seem so split over if Cartier watches are any good, and if Cartier are even legitimate watchmakers. Yet I think the Santos Dumont, the Crash, and indeed, especially the Tank... are three of the most iconic, and important, watches ever made. They are finely made too. No doubt. Have any other Fashion/Jewelry houses made watches so important and iconic? Is there an Armani watch in the same league? A Police watch that matches? Even a Bvlgari... and they make reasonable watches...??? NO. You do not make three of the most famous watches ever made, by accident, as a fluke, getting lucky, as some designer jewelry house, who just got in to watches on whim. Cartier is a legit horological contender for consideration as masters of the craft, and their watches are very good. I am not sure why so many in horological fandom, view them so poorly. Then again, I am not heavily in to the scene, my knowledge is limited, and my interest far from obsessive, so maybe I am missing something. Yet at face value, to see Cartier as anything other than a major contributor to watchmaking and maker of wonderful watches, seems thoroughly absurd.

What about the Santos Du Mont quartz. Is that worth the money?

What happened to the bezelscrews of that Santos 34??😱

the cartier santos mid-size is by far my favourite Cartier :) Great size and clean dial without a Date 😄

where did you find the leather strap for the tank? I would like to buy one as a gift, thanks!

You wear a Tank Solo well. Get it!

Loved the review, thanks!

best video yet!

the tank looks killer on your wrist. Great looking classic

Hello! I love TANK SOLO, because so elegant so much
