Cartier Tank

About

The Cartier Tank watch is a masterpiece of design, born in 1917 from Louis Cartier's inspiration by the Renault FT-17 tanks used in World War I. Its revolutionary rectangular case and clean lines marked a departure from the round watches prevalent at the time, pioneering a new era of elegance and modernity. The Tank's distinctive shape, Roman numeral hour markers, and blue steel hands have become synonymous with sophistication and timeless style. Over the years, the Cartier Tank has evolved into various models, each retaining its iconic design while offering unique interpretations. From the classic Tank Louis Cartier to the more contemporary Tank Française and Tank Must, these watches are crafted in a range of materials and styles, including diamond-set versions. The Tank's enduring appeal lies in its versatility, making it a favorite among both men and women, and its ability to transcend generations as a symbol of luxury and refinement.
