Cartier: Never Stop Tank

Renowned French jeweler and watchmaker Cartier has released a new model, The Tank Anglaise Watch. The new tank watch marks a step forward in the quest for pure design. Tank Anglaise perfectly embodies Louis Cartier's aesthetic and his desire for seamless design as expressed in 1917. 

History of the Style:

The first Tank wristwatch was created in 1917 and was inspired by a simple idea: four lines, with two parallel shafts made from gold and platinum, a sapphire cabochon atop the winding crown and a leather strap. With its infinitely redefined and timeless design, this revolutionary square watch took shape and forever changed the world of watchmaking.
