Excellent photos Mahesh,


I was recently in a Cartier boutique and was disappointed to hear the Drive line was out of production, as per the staff. Lovely to see yours here, enjoy it in good health.

Basculante - the guilloché on the dial is subtle and quite tastefully done! Drive - not so much seen but it has quite a bold presence on the wrist albeit extremely thin (6,5mm). A manually wound movement & steel case…impressive for that price. Hope you gu...  

Sadly we can’t have it all in this hobby…

I’ve 1 kidney 1 eye & 1 heart left 😜😂

The Basculante is a much underrated watch from Cartier and the Drive is a strong look, underpinned by a surprisingly slender case. Thank you for sharing them with us.

True that…

Basculante is very fine timepiece, only challenge is winding. Drive has a surprising character…

Especially the first one!

Basculante outright feels different to Reverso though often the story cross paths.

Yes, well said.

It took me a long time to warm up to the Basculante...

...two rare examples of Cartier mounting higher end calibers in steel (maybe a third would be the GP chrono used for some Pashas). Love the Drive but fear it might be too big for my wrist as well so sticking with this one: BTW, love the strap on your Basc...

Drive plays a tad outside the Cartier characteristics indeed.

Great and elegant duo my friend

I anticipâte in W&W the basculante might make a comeback, seeing the recent Cartier launches !

The Drive looks so good.
