Cartier successfully combined feminine and masculine somehow
All watches are feminine, they are vehicles of carriage.
@Terence unisex! you know a word that actually exists
@Demon Marauder i agree, but in watches it is called unisex.
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,.
Agree 100%
A priceless watch. Perfect.
Your great great grandmother is so beautiful! Amazing that you were able to find such a precious family film
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Are you serious??
Ben Elsom why wouldn’t he be serious - it’s 100% authentic 🧐
@@JenniElle Of course it is 100% authentic. If it weren't, how would the newspaper be called "Ye Olde Newspaper"?!! 🙄.

They don’t make them like they used to ..
@@kfmathew You obviously never been to Germany. That's the biggest selling newspaper there.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😊👍
Cartier = timeless beauty & elegance.
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.
Such a great point. I'm planning on getting my wife a tank, and I know if it were mechanical it would rarely be worn in comparison to the convenience of quartz for this type of watch. Without a seconds hand, I really don't see it as an issue whatsoever.
Thanks for this video, Jenni. The Tank and Santos don't get nearly the love they deserve.
Props to your great grandma for rocking a Panerai! ⏰
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!
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.
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.
Revisiting my own post here 🤣. So fast forward and I have gone a bit crazy and now have the Santos, a Tank Americaine, Tank MC, Tank Louis, Tank Divan and am trying to get hold of a Tank Solarbeat. Cartier are a great value proposition on the preowned market but values are rising.
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.
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 love your grandmother she is so adorable! ❤️
My wife bought me a Clé de Cartier but since I can't read Roman numerals, I'm always fashionably late...
And how do you read a watch without Numbers at all
Extremely genuine family footage you have there!
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!
"Ye Olde Newspaper" hahaha
I like that you pursue your own style with these sketches and the humor! Sets you apart from other watch channels
Thanks :-D !
Great video and the authentic footage, put a big smile on my face, thanks for the laugh, Jenni.
1:50 un Oscar pour cette femme ! The Artist 😆
I think the Cartier Ballon Bleu should also be mentioned. Beautiful ladies watch with pretty unique design. Both as quartz and automatic.
The Santos 100 has always been one of my favorite watches of all time. I prefer on a brown leather strap.
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).
I love my Cartier and wish they’d bring the Roadster back
You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for you guys to do a cartier video. Keep it up!
i love the tank solo, yellow and brown leather strap🔥🔥🔥
I did some internet digging for ya. It's by a German maker called "Kaufmann". And this particular strap is their "CLASSIC NUBUCK VELOUR Ref. 1056" I am not sure about the color but I'm pretty sure its their "tourterelle" color. Her's is in their large length: 75/115mm, and the width on her's is 18mm at the lugs and tapered down to 16mm at the buckle. Hope that helps
@@joeykimble62 Cheers Friend 🙏🙏🙏
@@joeykimble62 many thanks. You saved me a lot of time.
Santos - hands down. Also, highly recommend reading The Cartiers.
I got a pair of two-tone Santos Dumont for my wife and myself after our wedding. Definitely love it!
Well, that was just adorable! Thank you for keeping things light.
Tank solo is just timeless and classy.
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!
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.
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! 😃
My fiancee gave me the Tank Solo, and I'm fascinated with it, so happy to wear it.
I think there is a Tank in your future. That watch suits you.
Pity the screws are all chewed up round the bezel..
"Chewed up"? How? They're functional screws, not just decorative stylistic features.
every watch in that pricrange is never 100% good finished.
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.
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:-)
Love the Solo's design definitely underated because of the quartz movement
Love your channel Jenni and look forward to your reviews ....Tausend Dank !!!
Ye Olde Newspaper... That was friggin awesome Jenni.
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.
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 👍🏻👍🏻
My favorite brand.
Love your review and the macro shots.
Read about santos du monte. Guys a legend haha. A true bro.
The Santos 100 bezel screws, on this watch they are absolutely messed up. 99% of people have no business touching those screws....
serious question, I thought the screw were left unaligned as a sign of hand craftsmanship. is this not the case ?
@@keviemac He means messed up as in actually physically messed up in this example.
@@keviemac I'm not talking about the alignment. See how the screw heads are mangled because someone used an inappropriate screwdriver and now the slots are all jagged. Never do that if you get a Santos.
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.
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 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.
Jenni you guys do awesome content and bring in the different viewpoints that help make the viewer appreciate the subject!
All the watches are very nice. As for the video, bravo, bravo!!
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.
Cartier is king
I really enjoy the passion You put in your videos. I admire your knowledge and skills. Congratulations!!
Great video! However, I am questioning the authenticity of that old footage...
:-O :-O :-O
The footage is as authentic as a watch from Horology House.
@@dawolczyk loooool
i ❤️solarbeat‼️
& the 2nd one like a pillow so cute😛
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.
Great video, thank you. Wow, 90.2K subscribers, good for you, girl!
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
That authentic clip was great.
Brilliantly idea with the silent film interlude. Love it :)
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.
tank solo is the most elegant watch iv seen...love it
My thought about quartz in the Tank Solo: Convenience. Women wear watches for more as jewellery, switching between precious metal colors or matching the occasion. So the watch stays on the dresser among other, to be worn to certain occasions. Having quartz then, means no hassle, it will run and it will be punctual. So I think if you have a cocktail party once a month or a gala once a year and the watch is needed, it is there, working. No need for the obsession of movements inside, technical achievement, or historical accomplishment which men tend to prefer to focus on. A nice piece of jewellery that happens to always also tell the time
Give this woman a bloody Oscar!
You wear a Tank Solo well. Get it!
the cartier santos mid-size is by far my favourite Cartier :) Great size and clean dial without a Date 😄
I'm interested in Cartier again. Not enough to buy just yet, but on my short list.
Great video, love the brand and your performance to show us those models. Thanks!
Some people, my wife being one of them, prefer quartz watches. She doesnt like having to wind a watch. Mainly because she feels she might break the watch. So for example she prefers her black ceramic and steel aqua racer with diamonds to her rolex OP. So its a preference thing.
At least Cartier watches do to some extend retain some decent value as opposed to Tag or IWC. So they have that going for them.
Thank you for the great videos! i love watching your informative videos and could listen to you saying Cartier all day! I'm smitten
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.
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.
What about the Santos Du Mont quartz. Is that worth the money?
should I buy the Solo Tank XL? it just looks elegant and masculine as the same time
Love Cartier Santos 100 !! Ty Jenni for the great talk !
I loved the vintage bit of the video!
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.
On the hunt. Appreciate the history lessons. That is why I like legacy brands also.
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
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?
where did you find the leather strap for the tank? I would like to buy one as a gift, thanks!
I too would love to know this as my fiancé would love this strap!
I did some internet digging for ya. It's by a German maker called "Kaufmann". And this particular strap is their "CLASSIC NUBUCK VELOUR Ref. 1056" I am not sure about the color but I'm pretty sure its their "tourterelle" color. Her's is in their large length: 75/115mm, and the width on her's is 18mm at the lugs and tapered down to 16mm at the buckle. Hope that helps
@@joeykimble62 thanks so much!
the tank looks killer on your wrist. Great looking classic
Looooove Cartier. The Drive is gorgeous.
Not a fan of the “nipple” crowns on most Cartier timepieces. Love the video, though. Thank you.
i am growing to like the tank more and more
Love your channel! Thank you!!!
best video yet!
Amazing video, Jenni Elle! Thank you kindly for the shout out. Keep up the great work!! Andy + Felix :-)
Great review and Amazing lighting!
What happened to the bezelscrews of that Santos 34??😱
