Brand: Cartier
Model: 2390

Reference: OT1538

The Tank Basculante took inspiration from the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, a double-sided sports timepiece that would swivel within its case to protect its dial. The Basculante also turned in its case to protect its dial; however, different from the Reverso, rather than turning on its horizontal axis, the Basculante turned over its vertical axis, allowing it to stand upright in mid-rotation to double as a table clock. Cartier released the ref. 2390 in the early 1990s where many Basculantes were quartz-powered. In this particular example even more special as it is the millennium edition as denoted by the ‘2001’ engraving on the reverse side and it is powered by mechanical movement
