Missed an opportunity to put the Cartier on a bark and jack nato strap

Adrian finally evolving like a Pokémon from basic sport watch dude to sophisticated design nerd and eventually final form of high horology complication lover.

The older I get the more I like watches that are also jewellery. I recently bought a 1980s Longines gold tone watch with a “woven”mesh bracelet. It’s a 2 hand quartz, it’s tiny at 32mm and I love it.

Just a reminder to all the watch enthusiasts, slow down and consider each purchase.

1 watch per year is generally fast paced.

so happy someone finally cover the cartier panthere.
me and my wide have a pairing wedding watch, with her wearing the panthere in small size and the santos medium for me.
many friends has complimented the choice, since most people would pick the tank over the panthere, but yet this panthere has a case design that resonates very well with the santos.
my wife actually love wearing it with a black leather strap that literally transforms it into a santos dumont small which does not exist!
the panthere bracelet is also really comfortable, but very difficult to size (i didnt want to risk scratching the polished edges so we brought it back to the cartier store to resize)

I think dropping his Explorer II actually broke Adrian, not just the crystal!

Welcome to the club! An explorer and a cartier dress watch is the best combo to have. Benefits of the quarz movement: 6-8 years of battery life, its dead silent unlike older cartier models with quarz. It doesnt tick, it only makes a tiny sound when the minute hand moves once after each minute and it allows the watch to be under 8mm thick.

Such a cool video, love how you found a way to describe quartz movements as a form of luxury.

[markpritchard]

It was the mid-size, Steel & Gold with date at 5 o'clock that started my now 84th watch obsession. That was back in 1979. My favourite watch in my 84nr is my Medium Size Stainless Steel Santos de Cartier on my 7.75 inch wrist. Like you say, ignore the measurements and wear and enjoy 🤩

[robertdukes]

Love the slightly more off piste enjoyment from you here Adrian. It’s a beautiful watch that’s for sure! I’m sure you’ll keep us all updated if you ever decide to purchase!

[marioavila]

Adrian, Keith Richards gave the Cartier 18K Panthere "street cred" a long time ago...if you like it and can afford one, wear it...BTW Eric Ku transitioned from vintage Rolex sport watches to Cartier too, so you're in good company if you go Cartier. Cheers👊

[DawnPeterson-lh]

Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!

Adrian
If you like full gold, go for the Vacheron 222

[mr.seyfried]

As a proud owner of Panthere medium Steel for over 6 years, I agree. I somehow feel more confident but reserved as a man wearing this supposed lady’s watch.

[dogroot_official]

Grabbed a pair of Santos for a milestone wedding anniversary. They are stunning watches. Tudor/Omega fan here, so this was a leap—one I’m extremely happy I took.

[logancollins]

A 25k watch without the brand describing the movement is kinda crazy to me.

[dlhussain]

Adrian there’s a large model coming this September. Ref for steel is WSPN0011

[AliasEveWatches]

I love the Panthere and glad to see more men wearing it! It's much more classy than the Santos even though they look similar in shape.

[tfacison]

My wife wears the small in gold. It looks great and it being quartz is a plus for ease of use.

[TylerKTanaka]
