Description

The famed Cartier Tank comes in all shapes and sizes, perhaps none of them as unique and compelling as the Basculante.

With its elegant guilloché dial and unique reversible case, the Tank Basculante stands out amongst Cartier's Tank models. Released in 1932, a year after the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, it certainly shares functional similarities with the better-known model from Le Senrtier: a carriage case in which the dial and movement are housed pivoting inside an outer case, to reverse and protect the dial side - much like the Reverso's. However, unlike Jaeger-LeCoultre’s design, which uses a single track 'slider' mechanism, the Basculante employs a swinging frame. When deployed, the inner carriage case looks as if it's on a seesaw. Hence the name, which comes from the French bascule, or seesaw. 

The Tank Basculante may seem to some a pale imitation of the Reverso, but the subtle differences set it apart. Small details such as the winding crown at 12 o'clock and subtle guilloché work on the dial  make the Basculante truly original. 

This particular Basculante is a rare and highly sought-after Mécanique version, powered by the Calibre 610 hand-wound movement. Its 25.5mm stainless steel case is in excellent condition, as is its white guilloché dial with printed Roman indices and elegant leaf-shaped, blued steel hour and minute hands. The hinged reversing mechanism functions as if it were brand new. This piece comes fitted to a signed black leather strap with stainless ardillon pin buckle, and includes service papers from Cartier London dated 2021.

Choosing a Cartier Tank is always a formula for dress watch success — but choosing a Basculante, with its signature reversible design, signals a particularly refined level of taste.
