Louis Cartier created the Tank watch in 1917. A legend was born. The first prototype was presented as a gift to General Pershing some years before the watch was introduced into the market in 1919. The lugs blend seamlessly into the bare edges of the flat vertical brancards, giving the watch its unique aesthetic. The clean, crisp lines have proved hugely popular with a free-spirited, elegant clientèle. The now-iconic Tank watch has inspired countless variations, yet managed to preserve its distinctive identity.
Cartier, founded in Paris in 1847, is celebrated as "The Jeweler of Kings and the King of Jewelers," renowned for crafting iconic timepieces that merge artistry with innovation. Over the decades, Cartier has introduced legendary watch collections like the Tank, inspired by military tanks of World War I, and the Santos, created for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont as one of the first modern wristwatches. Today, Cartier continues to define luxury watchmaking with collections like Ballon Bleu, Panthère, and Pasha.
