Message on WhatsAppThe Tank is the most copied watch shape of the twentieth century, drawn by Louis Cartier in 1917 from the tread of a Renault tank. From Rudolph Valentino to Jackie Kennedy, its brancards have framed more famous wrists than any other design.
Cartier’s Tank Française, here in 32 x 27mm 18k rose gold, carrying a silver, Roman numerals display. Quartz movement inside.
Fun fact: Louis Cartier drew the Tank in 1917 with the Renault FT tank in mind: the brancards on either side are the tracks, and the case between them is the cockpit seen from above.
