Gabrielle Chanel adapted the comfort and uniformity of a man’s suit for women. Yves Saint Laurent gave women the tuxedo and women have been relaxed about wearing perfect 1:1 Cartier replica watches theoretically designed for men for decades. Yet the notion of a man wearing anything slimmer and sleeker than a bulky 44mm sports watch might elicit bewilderment in some quarters. Nevertheless, not every man can pull off a chunky Hublot or Breitling Navitimer, so smaller dress Cartier fake watches UK for sale are making a return.
Cartier’s chic new Swiss made replica Cartier Tank Normale watches is 32.6mm, Girard Perregaux’s Laureato is scaled down to 34mm and Hermes’s colourful new 36mm Cut model is attracting men, as well as women. This shrinkage coincides with a trend among brands including Zenith, Audemars Piguet and Girard Perregaux to abandon classifying their watches as ladies’ or men’s.
“I happen to be a firm supporter of small watches on men, especially because it allows for a degree of fluidity in terms of ‘gendered’ watches,” says Stephen Doig, men’s style editor at The Telegraph. “Some of the chicest watches in history have been relatively small in proportions – the Cartier Tank, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. I happen to have my eye on a beautiful best 2024 Cartier Must de Tank copy watches that’s rather dinky. They are so much more refined and debonair.”
In the Middle East, Frederic Watrelot, watch specialist at Sotheby’s Dubai, has noticed a reduction in the size of Cartier replica watches wholesale being collected, with vintage 1970s and 1980s – and even older timepieces – attracting interest. “Patek Philippes, for example, or Audemars Piguets that might be 34, 35 or 36mm dress watches, may have been laughed at five years ago, but nowadays people are wearing them,” he says.
“We are seeing people buying watches from the 1980s and 1990s that are a bit smaller in volume and maybe a bit more bling, such as the vintage high quality Santos Cartier super clone watches in full gold with screws, and the Cartier Cougars, but one that I’ve seen local people wear and is extremely fashionable is the Cartier Crash.”
They are in good company. US basketball Olympic gold medallist LeBron James wore the coveted luxury UK replica Cartier Crash watches to a pre-Games event and actor Timothee Chalamet slipped a diamond-encrusted version on his wrist for the Golden Globes, although his go-to watch is 23mm Cartier Panthere. Actors Paul Mescal and Austin Butler each have a wardrobe of discreet classic Cartier Tank fake watches shop to wear with a tuxedo.
