Best Cartier Watches to Start Your Collection

It is always the right time to wear a Cartier watch in Las Vegas. The company’s line offers a wide range of watch styles that will suit any personality and activity. The brand makes its watches with extremely high-quality materials and ensures that each piece carries genuine historical significance. Wearers of Cartier watches stand out among watch folk and consider their Cartier pieces just one of the many luxury fashion items they own. From bejeweled straps to leather ones, you can always find a Cartier piece that is perfect for you or the kind of day you are having. 

Cartier has been making timeless wristwatches since 1904 - one year longer than Rolex has. Over the years, Cartier has proved itself capable of producing technological concepts that are ambitious and complex enough to rival those of any other Swiss maker. Recently, Cartier has embraced the sportier side of watchmaking with its in-house chronographs and diving watches. Here are some of the best ones that are worth more than their value:

Tank Louis Cartier

Cartier Tank watches are a classic line that the brand is known for. The Tank Louis Cartier is probably one of the most iconic Tank watches in the world today. It has a square dial and square edges. Its lugs are square, too. Mr. Louis Cartier himself designed the form of the Tank Louis Cartier, and the watch’s proportion and shapes remain unchanged to this day. Like any Tank watch, it goes perfectly with a suit. Also, thanks to its muted yet elegant design, it can be worn to great effect with even the most casual outfit. 

Drive de Cartier

The Drive de Cartier is the latest entry in Cartier’s lineup of watches. Its case shape is not very much angular or rounded. The watches from this line are quite distinctive, with the most basic model having a date window at the 3 o’clock mark. Being the most emphatic design among Cartier’s ranges of watches, the Drive de Cartier works most well with a casual wardrobe. You can wear it with cardigans and denim shirts or even shearling jackets. The line’s Drive Extra Flat has a low profile at 6.6 mm and a minimalist dial is a dressier option that suits formal attires. 

Ballon Bleu

The Ballon Bleu is one of Cartier’s most versatile pieces thanks to its unisex appeal. Huge personalities like Ms. Kate Middleton and Mr. Johnny Depp have been spotted wearing this piece. It may lack a little history compared to a Tank or a Santos, but it still is instantly recognizable thanks to its signature crown. The Ballon Bleu has soft lines which is best paired with unstructured jackets and casual tops. However, its Roman numeral hallmark and guilloché engraved dials would make it look poorly when worn with a lounge suit.
