The Cartier Tank is one of the defining designs of the twentieth century. Conceived by Louis Cartier in 1917 and inspired by the outline of the tanks seen on the Western Front, it replaced the round pocket-watch form with a rectangular case whose vertical sides, the brancards, flow directly into the strap. More than a century later, its clean geometry, Roman numeral chapter ring and sapphire cabochon crown remain the reference point for the dress watch.

This reference presents the Tank with a black dial, a striking alternative to the classic white Roman numeral layout, paired with a leather strap that keeps the profile slim and understated on the wrist. It is a watch built on proportion rather than complication, and one that has been worn by generations of collectors, artists and statesmen.
