Perhaps the success of the Baignoire bangle, a front runner in the larger trend of undersized watches, was necessary for Cartier to feel confident enough to attempt the undersize theme within the Tank range? Lately, Om has been paring his watch collection back, trimming the fat in a sense. He's been getting rid of watches that he only wears on occasion, preferring to have a smaller number of pieces that he wears and enjoys on a regular basis. The watch that has become the anchor of his focused collection is the Grand Seiko SBGR301. There are a couple of interesting things about adopting this technique. One is that of course, you now have quite a lot of options because while enthusiasts love to quibble over a millimeter here or there, the actual range of sizes that any one person feels comfortable with, is probably fairly small for any one individual.

If you ever want to jump down a rabbit hole of epic proportions, try your best to learn of all the different contract case manufacturers, along with their corresponding signatures. That said, it is for me, and maybe for some of you out there as well, inescapably reminiscent of some rose-tinted version of The Good Old Days. The SBGY007 uses the hand-wound Grand Seiko Spring Drive caliber 9R31, which was introduced in the steel SBGY003, and the gold SBGY002, in 2019. Obviously, that changed or I wouldn't be picking these two watches to highlight. The "Golden Tuna" and "Ashtray" divers are as great on the wrist as they are rich in history.

He's a dedicated patron of contemporary, independent watchmakers and it was actually Vianney Halter's Antiqua that first opened his eyes to the wonders of horology. The guy also knows a ton about food and enjoys a great glass of wine.
