Why did Françoise choose it?

Françoise likes all types of Tank, whether they are classic, gem-set, in yellow gold, in white gold, or even in a Mini version like this one. It is a watch that we can only recommend. We would almost forget it on the wrist if it were not so essential, both from a historical and stylistic point of view. A watch that will never lose its value. It is par excellence the watch that we take pleasure in passing on, a piece which combines technique and aesthetics: functionality, elegance and prowess are essential. The Tank “has been brilliantly created to remain eternally contemporary”. This is why we trust him completely.

This Tank Louis Cartier is truly perfect in all circumstances. A watch that we enjoy wearing and looking at. It is particularly suitable for everyday life, perfect for work or in the evening because it can be as casual as it is elegant.

History

It was in 1917 that the Tank watch, known as Tank Normale, appeared; in honor of the heroes of the First World War, its design is inspired by the first tanks. Five years later, the Tank Louis Cartier was designed, a model very similar to the first, but with a more elongated dial and thinner, rounded shafts. Several generations follow one another, retaining the same identity codes while adapting to new watchmaking technologies such as quartz. Many celebrities adopt it such as Jackie Kennedy, Lady Diana, Alain Delon, Catherine Deneuve, Yves Saint-Laurent, Gary Cooper, Johnny Hallyday or Sophia Coppola to name but a few. Will you be next?
