With a clever pivoting bracket architecture for flipping around to protect the glass\/dial during sports (crystals were once fragile). First launched in 1932, a year after JLC’s Reverso debut. Some think Cartier copied JLC, but we think one year isn’t enough to “copy”, improve upon, start production, and begin marketing, distribution and retail. The flipping axis and mechanisms are entirely different, and executed with half the parts and half the thickness, with the bonus of an upright “desk clock” ability. These 90s gems were also the first ever steel Tanks, and have never been reissued since. The version here is the smaller quartz one with grey textured dial and Arabic numerals, and the most affordable Basculante today. A very collectible, and one of the most interesting Tanks ever!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONDITION:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e9\/10, with slight hairlines and a couple tiny nicks.
