It just launched online in the US yesterday, November 1st! It’s been going in and out of stock, but I was able to add it to my cart more than once. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet because I, too, am trying to decide between this and the Mini Bagnoire … or another style. I love this new Mini Tank LC a lot, but am having trouble justifying the steep price tag for such a teeny tiny piece. For just a little more, I could add a much more substantial piece with better/more complicated movement (automatic or even manual wind) to my collection … but this one is just so dang adorable! Decisions, decisions … good luck with yours!
Love both! Congrats! What are your initial thoughts? Are you in love? Is that teeny tiny dial super hard to read? (I know for many it’s probably more of a fashion statement than about being super functional as we all have phones and computers for checking the time!) I’m trying to decide if I need this or not … it is just so stinkin’ cute and I’m a sucker for anything mini. Enjoy!
Oh thank you for the information! Now I am itching to get it. I've looked at it multiple times today and it's been available to add to bag each time! I don't want to lose my chance like with the mini baignoire since it's never in stock in US now. Are you deciding between this and the mini baignoire with leather strap? I looked at them side by side online and it looks like the mini baignoire is a touch larger, maybe because the bezel is thicker from what I can see online. They're just tooooooo cute! I think I would have trouble reading the face but like what you mentioned above, I don't think I'd even use it for reading time
I've never owned a watch before. I also love the bangle mini baignoire which is almost double the price. I really have no idea what to go for and nothing is available to try on so I would just have to blindly choose one.Now looking at the side by side picture below.... I am kind of feeling like the Tank Louis is more special and classy.
I also have a love bracelet, curious how they look together.
IMO the baignoire is more dressier, not an everyday watch, I wear my SS tank francaise on a daiky basis instead, if ure looking for an everyday watch, get the tank LC 😊as for the size I cant really tell, but will post pics once the tank LC is launched and available in my local boutiqueOh thank you for the information!

Oh yeah, that is a good point! I am looking for a daily watch. I don't really ever dress up and daily clothes are very very simple too. Especially the bangle mini baignoire will be quite dressy looking. Please do share once the tank LC is available!
Would love to see some mod shots on the wrist if anyone has it!
It’s adorable. I love mini things too. It is hard for me to read but I just entered the “I need reading glasses” stage of life so everything is hard to read.
Omg I want it!! But I have a small SS tank must. Do you think that’s too redundant? I want the mini bagnoire too but it’s never in stock.

Honey they shrank the tank!

Found this article about it, which mostly talks about it being made to suit the tiny watch trend for men. People in the comments are very not into it and saying $7k is outrageous to pay for a quartz watch the size of a thumbnail. Lol. I don’t think they realize its 18k gold though, that’s how I will justify it.
I have a small SS tank must and really want the mini. Did you have any qualms about getting two tanks? And I would love to see some modshots if you’re so inclined. TIA!
I actually have three tanks now hahaha, but no. No I feel they are all different and serve different purposes.
Sure I took this one in store when I tried it on.gorgeous!! could I bother you for a mod shot?
