I’m the biggest fan of Cartier in its most reserved forms. The long, straight, simple (but revolutionary) lines of the Tank, the Baignoire, maybe a Crash. This might not be the Cartier for me, but as Ben has pointed out to me in the past, there are a number of people who feel a lot of nostalgia around the model. The older versions felt a lot more disjointed, that is true, but there was something a bit charming about how out of place they felt against the more modern, refined designs of the day. There’s no doubt Cartier has really dialed these versions in, and maybe with an eventual Roadster Chronograph, I will feel that Cartier has leaned full throttle into their automotive designs.
