Sure, it's not techinically a http://www.buyijoy.com/replica-cartier-pasha.html, but something tells us nobody is going to argue that this 1930s Cartier moneyclip doesn't deserve a spotlight. Made of sterling silver with swiveling clock case, this moneyclip from Replica Cartier Santos is a prime example of what this brand was about back then - pure art deco elegance. The blue enamel work on the case is particularly beautiful, especially in bright light. These 1930s Cartier moneyclips are very rare, and in fact only two have been sold at auction in the past ten years. One of them, in gold with black enamel, sold at Antiquorum in May 2009 for $6600. The second, in sterling silver like this one, but again with black enamel, sold at Christies in June 2009 for $9375. What is interesting is that both of these example used relatively "no name" watch movement suppliers (Normis & Perry, respectively) while the example shown in our photograph uses a Blancpain movement. All of these money clips were made for the American market and are highly sought after. Does it get any better than the Replica Cartier Roadster tank? No, it simply does not. I mean, the watch is as iconic as they come, and has been worn by everyone from General Pershing in 1918 to Clark Gable in 1948 to Muhammed Ali for many years. And this year, not only did Cartier introduce an entirely new case design for the Tank (which we'll show you in the coming days), they also brought in a new model within the Louis Cartier family, the Louis Cartier Tank XL Slimline. The original Louis Cartier Tank (or "Tank L.C.") line was introduced in 1922 as "the ultimate watchmaker's manifesto of elegance and timelessness." This year, the Louis Cartier Tank XL gets a sleek profile, which Cartier is calling slimline, and a wonderful ultra-thin hand-wound movement. The movement is in fact Piaget's fantastic 430. The Tank Louis Cartlier XL Slimline is available in pink gold on a brown alligator strap and is in fact the slimmest watch in the Cartier collection. The watch is supremely elegant, and perfectly executed. This is the watch many of us have been waiting for - a handsome, traditional tank from Cartier with a mechanical movement.
