Cartier Tank Louis Cartier

Throughout its history, the Tank watch has undergone a remarkable transformation. As a reflection of meticulous stylistic research and refined technical mastery, this icon of watchmaking design has continuously evolved its lines. Shortly after its creation in 1917, Cartier began offering new interpretations of the Tank, exploring variations in shape, size, materials, and dials. These evolutions include the Tank Cintrée, Tank Chinoise, Tank Asymétrique, Tank Américaine, Tank Française, and more recently, the Tank Must with its photovoltaic SolarBeat movement.

Created in 1922, the Tank Louis Cartier is the successor to the original Tank, known as the Tank Normale, whose design Louis Cartier reworked just five years after its inception. The case is elongated, the brancards are refined, the angles softened, and the choice of the rectangular shape is embraced.
