The Tank pop
Description
Always timeless, here is a no less original version of the Tank Solo ref. 3170, in steel and quartz movement. The little extra? This model comes with box and papers.
With its 24x31mm stainless steel case, it is a nice alternative to the Tank Louis Cartier in gold. A Tank full of originality with its mother-of-pearl dial where the Cartier logo subtly appears. An iridescent dial that you won't come across often and which offers pretty plays of light. The off-white strap, signed Cartier, completes the picture. As with many Tank Solos, it is mounted on a folding clasp. Trying the folding clasp means adopting it! In addition, the bracelet is very easily adjustable, practical.
Why did Françoise choose it?
Because it's a Tank and it offers a different version of the Louis Cartier model in gold. It boldly breaks the codes of the classic Tank while retaining the characteristics of its predecessor. Françoise likes to find these slightly crazy dials offered by Cartier. A more than welcome originality: Cartier never ceases to surprise.
This Tank Solo with a “signed” dial is the touch of originality to your outfit, always with style since it is a Cartier watch. Wear it on its clear or more colorful strap: at your convenience!
How can you not love this Cartier which knows how to play with its own codes, play with its classic history, stand out from its wise and classic gold predecessors! Limited edition for a country or a boutique? Anniversary edition? Impossible to know, but impossible for Françoise to miss it!
History
The Tank watch appeared in 1917 under the name "Normale" to honor the heroes of the First World War. The name is an obvious nod to the military vehicules that inspired the design. Five years later, the Tank Louis Cartier emerged. Quite similar to the first one, the Tank Louis has a more elongated case and thinner, rounded brancards (shafts). Several generations follow one another, retaining the same identity while adapting to new watchmaking technologies such as quartz. The steel Solo model appeared in the 2000s. It may be the watch seen on the most celibrities' wrist throughout the years: Jackie Kennedy, Lady Diana, Alain Delon, Catherine Deneuve, Yves Saint-Laurent, Gary Cooper, Johnny Hallyday or Sophia Coppola...
