For Harry Fane to say that the Pebble at Phillips “was a world record for any Cartier vintage watch” is utter nonsense. Easily verifiable. And he KNOWS that he’s wrong
Several Cartier have sold for more than US$500,000, and I believe the record is more like US$1mm - I think for a vintage Tortue minute repeater. It’s really troubling that Fane, who revels in being “THE Cartier expert,” would make up an easily confirmed fact when speaking to the press. What else has he exaggerated about?
An expert is only as good as their word, and Fane simply lying is just terrible.
“Brutish American?” It has no resemblance to a baseball, but if it makes you feel better about wearing a woman’s watch, go for it.
