Cartier Tank Obus 2380 Yellow Gold
Originally released in 1929, the Tank Obus is a playful spin on the original Tank design. Instead of the original oblong rectangular shape, the Obus features a square case. Most notably, the lugs are more elaborate and almost resemble bullets. This would be rather fitting, as the original Tank was inspired by and named after the then-novel WW1 fighting vehicle.
As a watch, the Tank Obus offers a more maximalist approach than the earlier Tank Louis. Instead of a straight line from lug to lug, it's interrupted not only with the bullet lugs but also the square case. On the reverse, this watch has a transparent back showing the manually-wound movement decorated with the cartier logo motif.
CARTIER
Described by King Edward VII as 'the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers', Cartier is synonymous with perhaps more iconic designs than any other manufacturer. Sitting at the intersection between fine watchmaking and art, Cartier combines decades of heritage with an ability to create original and attractive watch designs.
From its birth in the 19th Century up to today, Cartier has earned a well-deserved reputation for being a manufacture that has successfully transformed the humble wristwatch from a soldier's tool into a true object of desire.
