Cartier Tank

The Cartier Tank watch is one of the most iconic timepieces in the history of haute horlogerie. The Tank was first introduced in 1917 and quickly became a timeless symbol of style and elegance.

The story behind the Cartier Tank watch begins with Louis Cartier, the founder of Cartier. He was inspired by the tanks used during World War I. The sleek lines and shapes of the tanks piqued his interest, and he decided to translate them into a watch design. In 1917, the first Cartier Tank watch was introduced. The model distinguished itself with its rectangular case with rounded corners, reminiscent of the shape of a tank. The Tank featured a simple dial with Roman numerals and blue steel hands. It was a radical design for its time, as most watches of that era had round cases. The Cartier Tank watch quickly gained popularity among the high society and celebrities, including style icons like Jacqueline Kennedy, Andy Warhol, and Princess Diana. The watch was considered a symbol of refinement and class.
