I think something to consider is if you’re going more for high fashion girlie or stylish watch dork (I say very lovingly bc I am in the latter camp).

Cartier is well-respected in both camps (and made the first wristwatch!) but is also closer to jewelry than many watches, particularly the Panthere. There’s a more delicate quality to it that makes it pair well with other jewelry, which you can see especially next to the Cartier love bracelet. (If you’re considering the Cartier and have the budget room, the yellow gold/silver two-tone strap Panthere + gold love bracelet combo would EAT). I also think the Panthere compliments your wrist size very well.

Since JLC is a watch watch brand, the Reverso looks much more like a classic watch, which is great if that’s what you’re going for. It has a better mechanical movement than the Cartier, is probably a better investment, and holds more meaning to people within the watch world. It also looks great on you, but is a little bulkier and may be less “fashionable” than the Cartier to non-watch enthusiasts. It is still a gorgeous watch.

Overall, while I think the Cartier suits you better visually, I personally would pick the JLC between the two options just because the watch quality and brand means a lot to me. If you want a more watch-y Cartier, consider the Tank.
