Cartier Tank Watches
Pre-owned Cartier Tank Watch: Timeless Elegance
An icon of fine watchmaking, the Cartier Tank watch is the ultimate symbol of watchmaking refinement. This luxury timepiece has endured through the ages with the same modernity as its creation. Following the success of the Santos, the Tank has established itself as a pillar in the history of the Cartier wristwatch, delighting lovers of exceptional watches for over a century.
A legacy born of innovation
Created in 1917 by Louis Cartier , the Tank watch was born during the First World War. The first prototype was offered to General Pershing, and it was marketed in 1919 , appearing in shop windows alongside Cartier jewelry .
Contrary to popular belief, the name "Tank" does not come from battle tanks but reflects Cartier's desire to choose short, powerful, and memorable names for its watch creations. From its very beginnings, the pre-owned Cartier Tank has stood out for its innovative character and bold design.
Unique and recognizable design
The Cartier Tank seduces with its clean lines and its case with characteristic vertical brancards . Its geometric aesthetic, its Roman numerals, its railway minute track and its leather strap make it an instantly recognizable watch.
Since the very first model with a square gold case , the Tank collection has been available in many iconic versions. In 1921, the Tank Cintrée introduced a curved case, followed by iconic creations such as the Tank Asymétrique, the Tank Chinoise and the Tank Basculante, each reinventing the DNA of the line without betraying it.
A Cartier watch for men and women
Initially designed as a Cartier watch for men , the Tank opened up to a female clientele in the 1960s with the launch of the Mini Tank . A symbol of understated elegance, the Tank has seduced many iconic figures such as Andy Warhol, Jackie Kennedy, Truman Capote and Yves Saint Laurent.
Today, the pre-owned Cartier Tank is worn by both women and men, in vintage or contemporary versions, mechanical or quartz, in gold, steel or two-tone.
