The Cartier Tank is Cartier's iconic wristwatch, inspired by and named after the new vehicle that terrified soldiers in the trenches of the First World War. Its lugs and rectangular case shape resemble the top-down view of the early tank designs, which had uncovered tracks along the sides.

Cartier combined the rugged and military origins of the Tank with its trademark slim Roman numerals. This unlikely amalgamation resulted in a watch that was greater than the sum of its parts, and allowed it to become one of the brand's most recognisable models.

CARTIER

Cartier comfortably sits at the intersection between fine watchmaking and art, combining years of heritage with eye-catching and unique case designs. From its inception in the turn of the 20th Century, 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.
