Cartier Tank Must Acier - full set - 2022

Revival of an icon

Description

A sharp case rounded edges, reasonable dimensions (even if slightly increased compared to the timeless Louis), a blue cabochon to recall Cartier's jewelery roots, delicate sword hands:Cartier hits the nail once again. 

Refreshed by these slightly larger dimensions than those of a classic Tank Louis, and modernized by the use of steel, Cartier Tank codes are recognizable at first glance. The dial is also shinier thanks to its laque finishing, giving it a greater presence on the wrist.

How to wear it?

With steel, anything is possible! You can choose a dark-colored strap to underline the classicism and elegance of the Tank or on the contrary, give it a youthful touch with a bolder color. Its larger size compared to classical Tanks and being in stell allows for more casual outfits. And to top it off, we provide 2 Cartier bracelets with the watch, giving you the freedom to choose your own style!

Why did Françoise choose it ?

History

It was in 1917 that the Tank watch, known as Normale, appeared in honor of the heroes of the First World War and whose design was 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, keeping the same identity codes while adapting to new watchmaking technologies such as quartz. During the 2000s, the public asked for steel watches, which were more versatile and affordable. This watch perfectly embodies this spirit.

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?
