Cartier Tank Basculante: the essence of a Tank watch!
By: Dje : February 29th, 2012-14:27
Cartier is one of the most important brands in the history of wristwatches. If the Santos was the first Cartier wristwatch, the Tank is clearly the most iconic Cartier watch. I write "the Tank" but I should write "the Tank family". Collecting Cartier Tank...
Thank you Dje for a nice post!

I wrote about my Tank Basculante in January 2011. I'm really fond of this watch and I'm looking for a gold brother for my steel watch. There are not very many Cartier watches which have turned me on. Basculante is the first and this January (the year when...

Hi, This is a watch I can't imagine selling! The Santos Dumont is a nice one too! One of the few modern models that keep a certain fineness, even if definitely modern. I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Best Dje

Thank you for the detailed review. Do you know if the regular production basculantes have the same movment?
You're welcome!

Hi, Regular production Basculante models had the same calibre for mechanical models, but they made also quartz versions. Best Dje
Wonderful documentary! Quick question:
By: bweyhe1 : January 27th, 2018-00:35
Does the inclusion of the word “mechanique ” on the caseback indicate the watch has the mechanical, in this case Piguet, movement? Of course Cartier made the Basculante with quartz movements as well. Would “mechanique “ mean the watch is not quartz but ra...
Yes

Thank you Geo, It's still a great watch, and hopefully will not stay my only Tank. Best regards Dje
