• The Tank Française was introduced in 1996, unlike the other Tanks in the family, the Tank Française was born with a metal bracelet. Evermore sporty and elegant at the same time, the model soon became one of Cartier’s flagship model ever since.
• An elegant timepiece made to suit all wrist, the model was available in small, medium and large size and garnered the attention of celebrities like Princess Diana, David and Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss.
• Preserved in excellent condition, the present Tank Française is certainly a bedazzling one. Fully pavé diamond-set on the case and bracelet, this medium sized timepiece is sporty and sophisticated at the same time. Fitted with a guilloché dial featuring a date function, this Tank Française ticks all the boxes with Cartier DNA: secret signature at 7 o’clock, blued- steel hands, Roman numerals and a diamond cabochon on the crown.
• With a relaunch of the Tank Française collection at Watches & Wonders this year, the look of the model certainly has a more contemporary look, primarily due to the all brush-finished dials and angular case, not to mention, it no longer pairs with a diamond-set bracelet. For those who enjoys a Cartier with a touch of neo-vintage aesthetic and guilloché details, the present Tank Française accompanied with its full set of accessories is a great addition to one’s collection.
With 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.
