From Hollywood A-listers to politicians, from fashion designers to royalty, the Cartier Tank has adorned the wrists of many famous and important people over the last century. With its cool, classic style, the Cartier Tank proves that opposites attract and masters the game of contrasts with timeless elegance.

The Tank Typology

Inspired by the armored tanks of the American liberation forces in World War I, Louis Cartier created the first watch for men and women that sat perfectly on the wrist. To this day, the distinctive features of the Cartier Tank are its flirtatious stretched Roman numerals, the minute hand rail, the two blue steel hands, and the mother-of-pearl crown set with a blue sapphire cabochon. Nothing has changed in 100 years. Despite these defining characteristics, the Cartier Tank is more versatile than almost any other watch. It is available in a wide range of fascinating variations - from the Tank Américaine to the Tank Française, Tank Must and Tank Louis Cartier. They come in three different sizes, with a wide choice of bracelets, straps and case materials to suit all tastes. This diversity of models underscores the Cartier Tank's enduring reputation as the first unisex watch to be loved by both men and women.
