The Tank Chronographe Monopoussoir is a wonderful modern re-edition of the original 1935 example. Though larger in size, it remains faithful to the original’s dial design and case proportions. Only 100 examples of this model were ever made in white gold and the present watch is numbered 64. It is powered by the manual caliber 045MC, co-developed by F. P. Journe, Denis Flageollet and Vianney Halter.
Fresh-to-the-market and consigned by its original owner, the oversized Tank Chronographe Monopoussoir has a bold, yet timeless design with contemporary finish. Preserved in original condition, it is accompanied by its original Cartier certificate and presentation box. Cartier timepieces have adorned famous clientele for more than a century, and this wonderful CPCP Tank Chronographe Monopoussoir is a rarely offered, highly desirable collector’s watch of the modern era.
Cartier
FrenchWith the Constitution of 1848 came a new standard for luxury in France. Founded one year prior by Louis-Francois Cartier, the house of Cartier was one of the first to use platinum in jewelry making. This incredibly expensive material became the stepping-stone for Cartier to experiment in form, mechanisms and attitude. It helped men move from pocket watches to wristwatches, effectively making the watch much more functional and prominent in a man's overall wardrobe.
Cartier did not only touch on functionality. Inspired by a commissioned painting by George Barbier featuring a black panther at the feet of an elegantly bejeweled woman, Cartier began incorporating wild animals in his designs—most notably, Cartier Panthère rings, bangle bracelets and watches. Yet it wasn't until the late 1960s that the house of Cartier debuted their iconic yellow and rose gold LOVE collection, which includes the famous bracelet that only a special screwdriver can open.
