Hypocrisy
Now undeniably the Tank has had a profound effect on the watch world, and for that alone it has earned its respect, however to the degree that it has done so is debatable. The Watch community, myself included, is so quick to hate on brands like Daniel Wellington, and MVMT. Why? 


Enthusiasm
Cartier seems to not give a fuck about watches. They had a surplus of watches that they had nothing to do with... so you know what they did with them. THEY BURNED THEM. You can't tell me that a company cares about its watches when it is literally burning them. A company, such as Rolex, or Patek, would never burn any surplus of time pieces simply to save some market price. If these companies wanted to keep the market price that they already had, they would hold them, keep them in storage; burning a product is simply repulsive.

Justification
Now in no way am I saying that Cartier Tanks are the equivalent of MVMT's; however these watches are completely overrated. The design of a Cartier is classic and elegant, but in no way does that justify it being put on a pedestal. Good watch yes, Dream watch no.
