The Cartier Tank Watch

A timeless piece of modern watchmaking, Cartier's Tank watch is an icon that never ceases to renew itself.
Created by Louis Cartier in 1917, the Tank watch is an icon of modern watchmaking. The rened design of this wristwatch, combining geometry and harmony, denes its strong identity. Immediately recognizable and always in step with the times, the Tank watch has been reinterpreted for more than a century through multiple variations that are forever faithful to the spirit of the original design, from the Tank Cintree to the Tank Chinoise, and from the Tank Americaine to the Tank Francaise.
Featuring extensive archival documents along with previously unpublished photographs, this volume explores, through the passionate pen of a true connoisseur, the most signi?cant Tank watches and their technical characteristics. The author also presents portraits of famous clients who, over time, have been seduced by this timeless timepiece.
