CARTIER TANK The story of the @cartier Tank, a timeless and subtle piece of design. Launched in 1917, the Tank instantly became an iconic Cartier and is regarded by many as one of the most elegant and classical watch in the industry.
As its name suggests, the Tank was inspired by WW1 battlefield tanks, especially the Renault F1 French tank. But how come this subtle and elegant timepiece became related to a rough military vehicle?
To understand where this inspiration comes from you have to visualize the F1 tank from a bird’s eye view and you can spot the similar overall shape. The two opposite tank tracks form the case side of the Cartier Tank.
