- A exercise in the power of brand loyalty and beautiful design. I look at four charming Cartier watches:
1. White gold Tank Americaine 1741
2. Tank Must de Cartier XL CRWSTA0053
3. Limited Edition Santos Dumont Number 19 W2SA0025
4. Medium Santos WSSA0029

I love the “fight me” attitude of this video. Gotta speak your mind.
Yeah, I said it. What?!
@@YoureTerrific ok ok please don’t hit me
Me nodding along with everything you said .. :-D fantastic video!
Jenni!
Thanks for the vid. Cartier is such a storied brand. Glad to see it getting much deserved coverage and appreciation. As a proud owner of the Tank Française , I have to say, they exude a charm few watches come close to.
Couldn't agree more!
I’m with you… I bought my Santos medium about 2 months ago and my other watches are begging to be worn. It’s my first Cartier, never really gave them a look before, but it has exceeded all expectations. The fit and finish, comfort on the wrist, and details are just SUPERB. The tech in the bracelet is just icing on the cake.
Hows the bezel holding up?
YAS YAS YAS! I agree with everything said. And I am a proud member of the Cartier Cult! 😜 applying to be the high priestess.
Same loyalty thing happened to me. It stole my heart. I have the Tank Solo and the medium dual tone Santos. Love them!
I’m about to get the Tank Must xl (that you’re showing in this video). I can’t wait to adding it to my collection. Thanks for giving this some love.
Congrats!
Thats exactly the one I want as well, perfect size for me. In House Movement, date, Guillochet pattern, for 4k! Im mean, come on!
I purchased the Cartier Santos Medium WSSA0029 last week from the Cartier website. It’s my first Cartier watch. It arrived quickly, in just a few days, to my USA address from Texas. The watch arrived gift wrapped in white paper and tied with a red ribbon. A red Cartier bag was also included. They included both the tan and navy blue leather straps, even though I only chose the navy blue strap option. The bracelet really did not need adjustment for my approximately 7 inch wrist. This Santos Medium fits me perfectly. I love it! It does not look like any other watch in my collection.
Bravo. You make some of the most interesting watch videos on TH-cam. 👍
Thanks so much
YT recommended this video to me after a few days of getting the tank must 2022. Your tone and storytelling is so captivating that you earned a like and sub!!
The music makes a nice Caseback Watches impression
Indeed!
Great selection of Cartier watches. All of them are classic and very elegant.
I can't get over how good all of your videos are. Seriously. Keep it up!
Thanks!
I have 2 Santos timepieces: one is stainless steel, the other in stainless steel and gold. I would kill before giving up either. Once I got those, I stopped looking at all other brands.
My first "expensive watch" was a Cartier. I no longer have it but I hope to find another that works for me one day. Great video!
Great first watch.
Binge watching your videos today. This channel delivers.
Excellent episode, please keep doing what you do, we do appreciate it 🇺🇸🇬🇧🍻
Thanks, will do!
Yep, I second that. 🇦🇺
When Cartier speaks to you. It's game over. Definitely a cult brand
I started off with a Cartier ring, now I want everything, yes brand loyalty is one hell of a drug! 😁
Got the medium two tone gold steel santos a few weeks ago, wanna wear it al the time, absolutely stunning, the leather strap also looks dope
I tried it on today and really liked it, but I fear it might scratch easily. What is your experience with that issue?
@@Hans-Georg_Buddne The polished part will definitely scratch, have a few light scratches already, but a watch belongs on the wrist, my father had the octagonal cartier which he wore all the time and it looked great, I think it just adds character. The scratches on mine are really light, you'd have to look close at the right angle to see them.
@@Flashlegz thanks for your reply!
Thinking of getting my first Tank and glad I found your video!
Great video! I’m interested in the updated 2023 Tank Americaine models, which they had a medium size, seems it’s only in tiny, small, and large now
Your plural of Santos made me laugh! My Cartier Tank Must XL arrives tomorrow. I have added it to my collection A. because I love Cartier anyway & B. because I'm struggling to think where else I could purchase another watch with the brand prestige, design, craftsmanship, history & style of Cartier at this price point. The price is UK £3,150.00, however, included as a gift on purchase is a Montblanc pen (Watches Of Switzerland,) which retails at £190.00 which in effect takes the watch to under £3k, which in my head is a relative bargain. Another plus point is that the automatic movement is covered by Cartier for a total of 8 years. Buying this watch was for me a no-brainer & I'm really looking forward to seeing it in the 'flesh' for the first time tomorrow!
Huge cartier fan..I am going all out to search for that santos dumont salmon dial. It's so beautiful. Wish me luck!!
Oh hell, brand loyalty, yeah, that's a thing. I have a soft spot for watches. And for cufflinks. After a few cufflinks from S.T. Dupont I discovered Cartier who in fact had cufflinks in their collection since their early days. Subsequently I took a look at their watches, sneaking around the Tank Francaise for quite some time. But when I got the Tank Americaine into my hands I immediately fell in love with it. I purchased the medium size in steel recently, more than 13 years after my last luxury watch purchase. I thought I had enough watches to wear, with one versatile daily beater, one sporty chronograph and one watch more on the dressy side. But the Tank Americaine is so different to my other watches, much smaller and really dressy, so elegant, shiny and so beautiful.
They're all gorgeous.
I love the elegance of cartier, fantastic pieces. Planning adding a Santos to my collection. Love your channel... all the best from 🏴
Cheers!
The white marble looks so nice with the Cartier red boxes :D
Awesome video, as always. YoureMyFavoriteWatchTH-camr by far! One minor hint though: Wrist circumference doesn't say anything, because wrists are shaped differently in regards to cross section. What is important is the resting area (is that a word?), the width of your wrist when looking straight down on it.
Not sure how to measure that.
@@YoureTerrific Just put a ruler across your wrist, look straight down and estimate how wide it is? I have a very flat 7.25 and my resting area is around 2.3. So because of that even 47mm Panerais' lugs don't hang over, although my wrist circumference alone might not indicate that at first.
Watch Collector ?
Or Wrist Collector ?
They took my Tank before I was handcuffed .
Really tight for my 185mm wrist 😵💫 owww
Awesome video. Well said. Couldn’t agreed with you more. That’s how they (The brand) get us!
There is no relation between quality videos and subscribers, u make incredible quality videos
Gracias, Jorge.
8:07. I absolutely agree! Honestly, I have grown tired of all the big, chunky dive watches you tend to see on everyones wrists thee days. They all begin to look the same. So it’s refreshing to revert back to a more elegant style with the Cartier pieces.
Beautiful straps! Thanks 🙏🏻
Ur a horrible influence on me..... Since i found ur original santos video i bought my wife a cartier tank franchaise, and bought myself a cartier pasha c...... Now im lusting after all 4 of the watches u featured in this video..... Damn you.. But you're terrific
Oh, I love the Pasha! Been very tempted.
@@YoureTerrific its really unique and different. And a reasonably priced Genta design which is very cool
You're right. I cannot choose between the Santos or the Tank so I'll get both
Great video, and beautiful watches from Cartier
Indeed. Thanks.
Great video
I have to say, even though the Dumont XL is narrower than medium Santos De Cartier by ~2mm, because of its proportions and larger dial, it appears larger than the medium santos by a non trivial amount. Just bought one set to be delivered next week and while I found even the large size Dumont too small, I'm hoping the XL is juuuusst right.
I've seen you videos for a while, ok I ended subscribing. Great work
Thanks
Thank you for another great video
Some idea for content: do an integrated bracelet (mid range) comparison: Fears RedCliff 39.5 vs Tag Heuer Carrera 39 vs Breitling Automatic Day & Date 40…
on a mid/higher range then Rolex day date 40 vs Cartier Santos L vs Chopard Eagle vs GP Laureato vs IWC Ingenieur
There’s something so slick about Cartier watches
You're prolific!
Thanks
Fabulous story telling style!. BTW have you ever given any thoughts of trying the metal bracelet on the dumot?.
Always liked the Tank Americaine, just don't have disposable income to purchase one. Love the the vid!!
Haahaaa I say that every time I purchase a new timepiece,, " I don't need to eat" but I really want that gorgeous watch .
"I don't really need to eat food everyday, do I?" is now my mantra.
Believe me . A Woman wearing a Cartier rarely pays 😉
So find a different Gent for Brunch and Dinner .
We’ll go Clubbing and have “ Breakfast at Tiffany’s “.
Can you Guess what I’ll be wearing .
And don’t say a Shoes ! Socks ! And a Trench Coat 🧥 !
Because you forgot to factor in the Cartier 😁
Lost in Time again 👌
Love the Salmon Dial, wow............
Yeah
Santos Demont LE is absolutely amazing!!!!! I own the Santos Large and a Tank MC
Cartier's are just damn good looking but they also benefit from what they don't look like which are popularly styled tool watches. no knock against them but the contrast offered by Cartier is quite refreshing. oh and uh great video! thanks.
Agreed
The tank cintree is the one to go for
Cartier indeed has many great models that deserve to own. I own a two-tone Santos Dumont and I would love to own a Skeleton Santos(esp. in rose gold), a Tonneau, or a Tank Louis Cartier. All of them are lovely.
Indeed
Big YES for Santos dumont LE salmon dial.. 🙌
YES
Why do those watches have the second hand?? I specifically want hand for the seconds, but none of the ones I see online have them!
to me the best video you ever made
Thanks!
I was counting along to the 7 inch wrist mentioning. Love the unenthusiastic tone.😂
My latest acquisition was a tough decision, but got the call for the new Explorer and had to scoop it up (first Rolex, and the only model I've ever liked) - absolutely over the moon with it. Next milestone will be the Santos MD - such a beautiful, versatile piece, with unrivaled history. Thanks for the great review(s)!
Santos + Explorer: perfection.
Anyone figure out his wrist measurement?
Let me know if you find out.
I had the chance to try a Tank Americaine Large Automatic. I loved the watch, but it was to small in my opinion. I have a Tank Francaise Automatic, which is the watch, that I wear at work. Great timepiece, very understated.
Elegant collection
If you like it, that's the important thing.
Amen
Love this video!!!
Really excellent video.
What camera do you use to record your videos?
The Santos!
Nice.
Your videos are causing me to have a Cartier addiction, STAP!
SAME
I love your videos ! I think I'll buy the Cartier Tank Must XL ...
Awesome
Can you please show Cartier Santos-Dumont XL W2SA0025
I.e the 19 watch
Santos Dumont inventou o avião! Não era apenas um aviador!
How do you think the MC Tank compares? So many variations!
I need this
subscribed only cause our wristeses match! #thishandisyourhand
And we keep coming back for more.
Bring it on…!
Just one thing, how big is your wrist again…?
Hehehe.
Good stuff.
Love the brand, I would have a Santos any day.
Just not sure I’m polished enough….?
Thanks
You mention that you might pick up one of the newer steel Tank Americaine models - may I ask why, since you already have the previous WG version? Is it because they are no-date, or because you want the smaller model, or something to do with the steel or the sunburst dial? The older gold models like you have just seem nicer. Great video!
I don’t own the WG.
What is your take on the Cle de Cartier (40mm on a SS bracelet)? A video would be nice.
@YoureTerrific thanks for the video-was just about to go and try on the auto tank must at my A.D , however, I am already nervous as I was thinking of the last time I saw the watch on your wrist; looks great on camera but I said it may be too big when I see it in the metal and my wrist size is 7.5. I am not sure why cartier will make such a home run watch with all the right features and then have it in only XL? what is up with Cartier reserving autos and manual winds in XL size? I think I am going to leave a really serious email with them concerning this issue because this is now becoming silly!
The Santos-Dumont is still available brand new in stores for €7.700,-
Cartier has had two watch ideas: square and barbecue.
Excellent vdo. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks
Je possède une montre Santos depuis 20 ans jamais eu de problème j’aime beaucoup Panthère 💟💟💟💟💟💟
How did you get those Cartier soft boxes ,,,?
I think the authorized dealers just gave them to me.
I was planning on getting a Santos WSSA0030 but now I want that W2SA0025 so badly. When did you get the W2SA0025 and was it a Cartier store only watch?
About two months ago. It was available at boutiques and the website.
i wonder why cartier lovers like myself never mention how cartier made a huge mistake by changing the bezel on the santos? the old style bezel, like on the santos galbee xl is much more distinctive, also more classic looking.
I mentioned it in my Santos video.
Does the bracelet on the Santos have any kind of "on the go" micro adjustment?
Nope
@@YoureTerrific Thanks. Awesome videos, love your stuff!
I'm loyal to Grand Seiko. But I want a Santos.
What size are your wrists?
I don’t know y u keep saying d santos is too big on your wrist but it’s actually too small
For the record I watch your content in full screen
As you should.
Hey why did you pick the medium over the large?
Hey what's your wrist size?
😡
I believe no man can say no to #MAMACOO 's watches
Ok, now get the solar one.
PS How big did you say your wrist is? (...cause i'm a freak, as I'm Greek i can't help it, you named us! 🤪😂😂😂)
👍
Amazing video! Big fan of Cartier but I stoped on my simple Tank Quartz.
That gold Louis Cartier... be still my bleeding wallet, be still...
I know. I especially like in on the bracelet. $29k USD though.
Nobody is talking about my poor pasha 😥
Cartier is a jewelry brand bro!!! Still loving my Santos de Cartier 5 months in... thanks again for your videos and that Insta.
Jewelry, watches, and even perfume.
@@YoureTerrific Don't forget sunglasses too!!!
The circumference of your wrist....size matters! lol
Sotc please
I did one a few months ago.
These Cartiers are bee ´s knees!
All six knees
I would only ever buy a vintage cartier....and I would be so happy to have it..modern cartiers are not special
