I love all this advice. But disagree. I'm 54. I've been wearing and collecting watches since 1976. I've owned hundreds of watches. 1 a year is your opinion. My opinion is you buy as many as you want or like.
@@itsacookie1 excellent advice. When we’re chasing watches all year long, one after the other, there’s no possible way we can enjoy them, and enjoy the chase of finding them.
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 🤩
Welcome to the Cartier lovers club! Cartier is one of my absolute favorite brands and the customer service & buying experience has always been wonderful at lots of different boutiques. They have always taken such good care of my wife & I and there are so many beautiful models & designs across the catalog.
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!
Definitely been turning my attention to smaller vintage gold VCs, Pateks, Omegas, and Piaget lately. Great way to wear a beautiful watch and not necessarily attract unwanted attention.
Picked up a MaMaCoo '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!
I got myself a two-tone panthere couple months ago and love wearing it. My style is a bit dressy though so it matches my aesthetic, but I know that isn’t the case for everyone. I do agree to wear what you like. I like the daintiness of Cartier watches so much so that I got the Baignoire bangle over the weekend. They both wear like jewelry but I find that to be a pro.
I have the Santos as it was my first luxury watch when I was 18 years old. I had a Panthère for a while but I gave it away as it has a quartz movement.
Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from amzwatch I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.
Cartier is something else, same thing happened to me when I wore for the first time the 25.5mm Tank Louis, the tiny timepiece had a powerful effect on me. Aesthetically, it just kicks ass!
The Large version was just released this month 31mm x 42mm. I can’t wait to get my hands on it, and do not care it is Quartz. There is nothing more FU than an all gold quartz watch.
I've always viewed the Carter Panther as the woman's version of the original Santos de Cartier. It's a beautiful watch. An elegant peirce that can be unisex .I've seen many men pull it off.
I too feel myself more and more drawn to this watch, although I’d need to compare it on the wrist with a Santos and a Tank. I’d only have a quartz Cartier. All my other watches are automatic and having a classy watch with a movement that fundamentally changed the world of watches would round out the collection.
Absolutely love the Panthere and think it's the best women's watch out there and this size also works for men like me. Would love to rock the full gold but not at this price and also the 5k for a SS Quatz is too much. It's a 2-3k watch MAX.
I personally prefer the Piaget polo 79' recently released, but although probably more attainable, will still cost close to 70k, so not many of us taking that on im guessing lol!
Yup. Prefer big chunky sports watches but from time to time wear some gold dress watches both with suits and jeans. Dress watches can be fun, too. The Panthere is a little dainty, though.
The Tank Must is also one of those watches that I can forgive to be quartz. As with this one really buying it for the design. But for one of your NATO straps the Santos Dumont might be the better candidate: it’s bigger and is also the first ever sports watch in a sense
Hi, I think the WSPN0007 stainless steel’s dimensions are 27mm by 37mm which is different from the two tone and full gold. All are considered medium size on Cartier. Can anyone help me understand why?
Panthere always looks good in full solid gold…. my mom wore one (the ladies one) back in early 90 in full gold n i always thought that was a very classy Cartier..n now she passed it on to my wife..n my wife is gonna pass it on to our daughter later on… i dont care about the price, if it looks good, i’ll buy it…
yea, the thing that always gets me with Cartier watches are their prices for quartz models... is it really worth thousands of dollars for a quartz movement?
As we get more experienced in life (rather then getting older :))our taste changes . I personaly like smaller wachtes, less popular brands and models. Is also more of an conversationstarter than let's say wearing an Rolex or AP (I would rather wear an code 11:59 38 mm than an royal oak if I had the choiche and money)
I have a santos chrono xl and absolutely love it, wears amazing and for my very large wrist it has a large presence while not wearing too big. Unexpectedly i have been enjoying small faced gold watches with an integrated bracelet. I feel the have a very different wrist precence and the Panthare falls in this category.
hi Adrian any possibility you could do a review on the cartier chronoscaph must21 2424? ive had my eyes on it for years and finally got one, would love to see your view and opinions on it
This watch is gorgeous but when it comes to gold watches the bench mark would be a day date 36mm with automatic movement and killer dials. I know it is more expensive but the price difference is more than justifiable
If you're curious to learn more about the differences in Explorer II references, check out this previous video by Adrian. -Gerard ua-cam.com/video/I13NnhQcMc0/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Not what I would buy but that gold version looks good but the thing that got me online was the date window at 5, that is odd and It really appeals to me.
It's a bit weird that Cartier's drawing is clearly a leopard, and there is a word for leopard in French, yet Cartier chose to use the word Panthere, which is a more encompassing word for the genus Panthera, which includes tigers, lions, jaguars and leopards. Of course in America the word panther is used for the mountain lion, but a black jaguar is often called a black panther. I suppose the word Panthere sounds better than Leopard in French, so it's probably more of a market thing.
Hopefully with this video and your further exploration of the design language of Cartier people will start to appreciate classic design more. Vintage dress watches are criminally under appreciated and far more versatile than they’ve been made out to be the last few decades.
@@TheSSEssesse Most of them are not 'vintage'. They are 70's and 80's designs. I prefer Longines' vintage dress watches, and they are much cheaper as well.
If Cartier is drawing your interest, why not go for a rose-gold mechanical Tank? You get the precious metal without the quartz movement. And it is lower in price due to leather strap. However, you should but what you want - like both a white and black Speedmaster Professional!

$5,200 for a steel watch with a quartz movement and printed dial. This has got to be one of the worst values in all of watch making. Cartier is LoL'ing all the way to the bank when anyone buys this thing.
Different watch. If you're curious to learn more about the differences in Explorer II references, check out this previous video by Adrian. -Gerard ua-cam.com/video/I13NnhQcMc0/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
If u r a full grown man and u start to like this panthere , u r in very dark places I must say. this is basically ur mom/wife watch. The biggest is m size , u need them to create at least a L or Xl to suit man wrist

I love how tag and breitling get roasted by an so called watch experts for using quartz, but this guy is drooling over this watch. Lol wow!! I'm pretty sure this is a women's watch.
Welcome to the lovely world of cartier. Love the Panthère. My current Cartier is the Santos Galbée 2319, stunning watch That wears larger than the 29 mm
The Gold Cartier looks absurd on your wrist IMO. It’s one of those watches where I would see you , walk up to say hello and how nice to bump into you and then, seconds later, my internal voice would say UH ! GOLD WATCH ! And then I’d spend the whole conversation trying to avoid looking at it. Maybe it’s just me.
I would love one for my wife but the price is way too crazy. Rather pay a bit more and get a rolex womens watch. She has a two tone old round panthere and a black dial tank must
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.
Action speaks louder than words …His pricy collection is basically Rolex watches ..
Adrian morphing into Theo & Harris
Are you calling a quartz watch a high end complication or that he’ll eventually go that way!? If the former then 😭😭💀💀
High horology complication? 😂
@Adwnpinoy310 -nope. The gold yes. Everything else, Nope.
I think dropping his Explorer II actually broke Adrian, not just the crystal!
haha
@@BarkandJack all kidding aside, I agree - it’s a sharp watch and totally punk to wear it dressed down.
Got his Rolex back in Record time… great to see!
@@Vartan297 No, that's the better, older five-didge ref, not the clown ref.
@@richardwarren2024 Don’t act nice now….keep that same energy! 😂
Such a cool video, love how you found a way to describe quartz movements as a form of luxury.
Just a reminder to all the watch enthusiasts, slow down and consider each purchase.
1 watch per year is generally fast paced.
Great advice. Instagram / social media can make us feel like we need more.
Useful reminder!🫡

Adrian there’s a large model coming this September. Ref for steel is WSPN0011
Definitely been turning my attention to smaller vintage gold VCs, Pateks, Omegas, and Piaget lately. Great way to wear a beautiful watch and not necessarily attract unwanted attention.
welcome brother lol...vintage is truly better than modern
I have a quartz Omega Seamaster aqua terra 38.5 mm. Love it.
£25400 for the gold one is ridiculous
Still a classy elegant watch despite the ludicrous price.
A 25k watch without the brand describing the movement is kinda crazy to me.
THIS 👆
It's a quartz movement, the only description needed is what battery it takes 😂
It's a complete rip off
Clown money for a clown watch. Best described.
About 300 for the movement. So its about what you think the case is worth, i think its the point he is making to be fair.
Love the courage of a full gold watch.

For half the price, get a vintage 2961 two-tone Santos Carree that looks almost exactly the same and has an automatic movement
I have the Santos as it was my first luxury watch when I was 18 years old. I had a Panthère for a while but I gave it away as it has a quartz movement.
Welcome to the world of elegant dress watches. I tried a Santos Dumont in Rose gold. The bug is strong!

always been a big fan of the galbee, caree, panthere, especially in that two tone!
Yeah 2 tone Santos are classic
Cartier is something else, same thing happened to me when I wore for the first time the 25.5mm Tank Louis, the tiny timepiece had a powerful effect on me. Aesthetically, it just kicks ass!
When people are saying #amzwatch is a better option for buying a watch,I very much agree!
We're going to need a Santos review now :) I've recently bought the Medium Green model and I absolutely love it
The Large version was just released this month 31mm x 42mm. I can’t wait to get my hands on it, and do not care it is Quartz. There is nothing more FU than an all gold quartz watch.
Cartier Santos and the Dumont with strap options I understand. Not sure about this option, but, I'm glad were all different.
I've always viewed the Carter Panther as the woman's version of the original Santos de Cartier. It's a beautiful watch. An elegant peirce that can be unisex .I've seen many men pull it off.
It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of MaMaCoo 's watch 99% of people will never see.
Gold and vintage looking is back.
Totally agree💯

Cartier makes pretty classy watches.
My wife absolutely loves hers!

Be sure to let us know how you get your explorer 2 repaired when it happens Adrian. I'd be interested to know 👍

Fun fact, although the gold santos is the famous watch worn by Michael Douglas in Wall Street, Charlie Sheen wore a Panthere in that movie.

This medium size is not the new “bigger” size from last Watches and Wonders right? I believe it will release September?
Where is your new tudor blue black bay F1 video ???
The F1 team asked for it to be taken down. Apparently I showed secret stuff, and cutting it up would ruin the video.
If I was in the market for jewellery, I'd think that spending £5k on a steel bracelet was insane.
