In fact, Jaeger-LeCoultre manufactured the Basculante cases for Cartier during that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"321\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"554\"\u003eLike the Reverso, the Tank Basculante was designed to be flipped over, allowing the crystal and dial to be protected during sporting activities and other situations where the watch might be exposed to damage. The name “Tank Basculante” translates directly from French as “the tilting Tank.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"554\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"846\"\u003eThis ingenious tilting action is made possible by a clever mechanism that allows the watch head to swing within its frame and flip upside down. Thanks to its ability to rotate a full 360 degrees, the Basculante can even be positioned upright and used as a small table clock. As with many of Cartier’s more experimental designs, the Basculante was never produced in large numbers and was eventually discontinued, remaining in the archives until its reintroduction in the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"846\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1324\"\u003eThis reference 2391 is a beautiful example dating to the year 2000 and features an 18k yellow gold case measuring 25 × 38.5 mm.
