Cartier Tank Solo "Piano" - Full Set

The Tank pop

Description

A steel Tank? Here is the Solo model ref. 3170, offered with its box, its case, all its papers and its shopping bag: you are just leaving out the Cartier boutique.

With its 24x31 mm stainless steel case, it is a nice alternative to the Tank Louis Cartier in gold. A Tank full of originality with its dial evoking the keys of a piano. A dial that you won't come across often... This Tank is mounted on a black strap that can be kept or changed according to your wishes, and a folding clasp, both signed Cartier. Trying the folding clasp means adopting it!

Why did Françoise choose her?

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 "piano" dial is the touch of originality to your outfit, always in style since it is a Cartier watch. Wear it on its colorful bracelet for an assertive look or on a more classic bracelet to tone it down: which will you choose?

History

It was in 1917 that the Tank watch, known as the Tank Normale, appeared. In honor of the heroes of the First World War, its design is inspired by the first assault tanks. Five years later, the Tank Louis Cartier was imagined, a model very similar to the first but whose dial is more elongated and the stretchers are thinner and rounded. 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 and Sophia Coppola to name a few. The steel Solo model appeared in the 2000s. Will you be next?
