A timeless piece of modern watchmaking, Cartier's Tank watch is an icon that never ceases to renew itself.
Created by Louis Cartier in 1917, the Tank watch is an icon of modern watchmaking. The reο¬ned design of this wristwatch, combining geometry and harmony, deο¬nes its strong identity. Immediately recognizable and always in step with the times, the Tank watch has been reinterpreted for more than a century through multiple variations that are forever faithful to the spirit of the original design, from the Tank CintrΓ©e to the Tank Chinoise, and from the Tank AmΓ©ricaine to the Tank FranΓ§aise. Featuring extensive archival documents along with previously unpublished photographs, this volume explores, through the passionate pen of a true connoisseur, the most signiο¬cant Tank watches and their technical characteristics. The author also presents portraits of famous clients who, over time, have been seduced by this timeless timepiece. Augmented with a chapter on new models created since 2017, this new edition offers a journey into the heart of the myth.Author Biography
