      One reason to agree with this is that Lange watches are always overly chunky. I love my Lange 1 but don’t care about the Zeitwerk minute repeater due to the case height. Come on guys, they’re all hand wound, let’s make them all under 11mm!

    Agree with the positive nod to the Longines Dolce Vita rectangular. I recently purchased the 43x27, silver dial with Arabics and blue hands, semi gloss black alligator strap. The only challenge is winding that beautiful non knurled crown, but solved that using a latex glove. Alas, it's a definite keeper ! Another charming and light hearted review Britt. Well done 👍.
    FYI, even though this movement isn't cosc certified mine runs at a plus 6 to minus 6 over 6 positions.

    I got into an argument with my wife about Cartier being a jewelry brand.
    Ultimately, her argument was, if you are a woman into watches, Cartier is the best brand out there that 1) you can buy easily 2) is not covered in diamonds, 3) not pink and 4) isn't overly large. I see her point now. I feel like many watch brands have patronizing design strategies when it comes to women's watches. Having tried some in person, I like the Santos more and more, especially the all black model. I'm not sure I'd ever buy one unless my salary gets a couple more zeros added to it. Men are more spoiled for choice when it comes to wristwatches, and I'd probably prioritize other brands.
    Also, your AP criticism is 100% on point.

    • @BrittPearceWatches
      @BrittPearceWatches  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Your wife is absolutely right!!! I couldn’t agree more! Also, if you were to survey a bunch of women and ask “if you were to buy a luxury watch, what would you buy?!” And they’ll probably name 2 watch brands: 1. Rolex. 2. Cartier. (And an insulting amount of apple! 😜🤣🤣💕💕💕). But Cartier is really cornering the women’s watch world and making the “it girl” watches!!!

    • @user-zn1pf3fd8s
      @user-zn1pf3fd8s 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I agree with your wife. I am a woman watch fangirl. I can wear a 40mm (my Shunbun) but greatly prefer 36 and without freaking diamonds everywhere. Also the Cartier horological heritage is above reproach.
      For me, woman watch collector, the “just jewelry” comments crack me up. Watches are jewels. They are also engineering. And industrial design. And when they blend together - perfection!

  • @Harry-tb8yo
    @Harry-tb8yo ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Cartier being a jewellery brand doesn't contradict the fact that they make great watches. Nothing wrong with that and there has to be that one brand that takes a different approach to watches than all the others. ALS clearly belongs into the divine category. They are undoubtedly on par with Patek in my opinion. JLC belongs there as well. They are always so underrated but they offer such a great watchmaking for reasonable prices. Omega and Rolex swap their ranks in my view. Omega since a long time is at least on par with Rolex in terms of quality and they innovate much more. Breitling in recent years has evolved a lot so they need to be in the very good category. Blancpain as well. Yes, they seem to be kind of a one trick pony but the Fifty Fathoms is just so gorgeous.

    As a Fanboy of Omega (although I own only one, the Titanium Ceramic Seamaster), I completely agree with your ranking except for Longines. I don't own one, but think they are making great strides in quality/style v. price. and are deserving of a "Really, Very Good" rank. And what about Oris? Any thoughts on them? Full transparency, I own Tag Heuer, Ebel, and Tudor as well as the aforementioned Omega. Just got a Pelagos 42mm :)

As someone who has been collecting watches for 40 years, I agree with the comment that Longines should be given a bit higher of a bump. To add, your comment seems dismissive and a tad condescending.

    I think AP has moved away from VC/PP's quiet refinement and more towards Richard Mille's 'look at me' watches. Royal Oak will always be iconic but they need to develop a wider spectrum more than just the Code11:59 (I have a 11:59 btw and love it). We need AP versions of Calatrava and Aquanaut!
