衝動，還是理性？藏家Felicity最愛的新收藏｜HOROGUIDES雜誌Vol.10 特別企劃
在這個不再單向上行的市場週期中，藏家的決策邏輯也隨之轉變。過去以情緒為主導的購買動機，正逐步讓位給更複雜的心理與價值判斷。當代藏家變得更為審慎且自覺， 開始將視角由外部市場轉向內在經驗，重新思考一枚腕錶與自身閱歷、審美品味與生活節奏之間的關係。
也正是在這樣的背景下，本期特別企劃【您最愛的新收藏，是衝動購買，還是理性決定?】(What's Your Favorite Recent NWA―and Was It an Impulse or a Considered Choice?) 應運而生。我們邀請多位眼光獨到的腕錶藏家，分享他們在市場修正之後的最新入手。這一次，我們刻意不羅列制式的收藏清單，而是透過每一段入手過程背後的心路歷程，重新梳理當代藏家與物件之間的情感連結。
我是來自香港的一位女性鐘錶愛好者，長期著迷於腕錶背後的故事，也正在學習建立一套更有意識、以個人記憶與情感為核心的收藏脈絡。

I first encountered this timepiece rather serendipitously, when its renderings surfaced as part of last year’s novelty releases. I felt an immediate spark, drawn to the quiet allure of its clean, monochromatic aesthetics. I had been searching for a daily dress watch for a while, with the Tank LC being a strong contender on my list. When I finally tried it on later that year, the decision felt instinctive. Since then, it has naturally become one of the most versatile and enduring companions on my wrist.
我與這只錶的相遇純屬偶然，當時它正作為去年的年度新作之一曝光，那一刻我便深受觸動，完全被它那種簡潔、單色美學所散發出的靜謐魅力所吸引。其實我一直在尋找一只可以日常佩戴的正裝錶，而Tank LC也一直是我清單上的熱門候選。當我在同年晚些時候終於親自試戴時，那一刻的抉擇彷彿成了一種直覺。自那之後，它自然而然地成為了我腕間最百搭且長久相伴的夥伴之一。
CARTIER Tank Louis Cartier 鉑金 / 錶徑 33.7x25.5mm / 1917 MC 機芯
At a glance, the dial appears to be a silver ghost dial, but a captivating visual effect unveils itself under shifting light—a staggered sunray pattern, achieved through micropulse laser engraving, comes alive and dances across the dial. It reminds me of one of my childhood fascinations: lenticular prints, images that play on perspectives and animate when tilted at certain angles.
初看之下，這錶盤彷彿是一種銀色的「幽靈錶盤」，但在光影流轉間，一種迷人的視覺效果卻隨之顯現——透過微脈衝雷射雕刻所呈現的交錯放射狀太陽紋，彷彿有了生命，在錶盤上躍動起舞。這讓我想起童年時迷戀的光柵立體效果（lenticular prints），那種利用透視原理、隨鏡頭角度傾斜而產生動態變化的影像。
Within encases the manual-winding in-house 1917 MC, the calibre is tonneau-shaped, a concealed detail that I find charming. The ruby cabochon fitted on the winding crown is deliberate—reserved for Cartier’s modern platinum timepieces—a subtle yet distinct signature that catches the eye of those in the know.
錶內搭載的是手動上鍊自製1917 MC機芯，採用酒桶型結構，這種隱藏的細節讓我覺得格外迷人。上鍊錶冠所鑲嵌的凸圓形紅寶石也並非隨意選擇——這是CARTIER在現代鉑金腕錶專屬的設計，低調卻足以讓內行人一眼可辨。
To my mind, the Tank LC is as elegant as it is powerful and unexpected, the quintessential dress watch inspired by the design of military tanks. This particular iteration feels like an Art Deco icon reimagined, a timeless case silhouette paired with an unconventional dial, poised between heritage and modernity.
在我看來，Tank LC既優雅又充滿力量感，且帶著一抹出人意表的驚喜。作為一款靈感來自軍用坦克的經典設計，它本身就是正裝錶的典範；而這個版本，更像是經典裝飾藝術的重新詮釋，將恆久經典的錶殼輪廓與不尋常的錶盤設計結合，游走於傳承與現代之間。
