The Evolution Of A Classic

THE CARTIER TANK SERIES stands as one of the brand’s most coveted collections, showcasing luxury watches distinguished by their unmistakable rectangular cases reminiscent of military tanks – a design element that inspired the name. Since its inception, Cartier has introduced a diverse array of models within this series, each with its own unique features and styles. Some of the notable variants include the Tank Louis Cartier, Tank Française, Tank Solo, Tank Anglaise and Tank Américaine, with the latter receiving a facelift recently.
