Catalogue Essay
In 1917, Louis Cartier created the iconic Tank wristwatch featuring an unusual rectangular-shaped case featuring clean and crisp lines that are smooth and elegant in all angles. Originally created specifically for General John Pershing, the Tank was commercialised and made in series two years after in 1919. In 1921, Cartier presented to the world for the first time, the Tank Cintrée featuring a curved appeal to enhance its comfortable snug wrist presence.
The present example Tank Cintrée is a wonderful contemporary interpretation of the famed and iconic model. Retaining essentially the same design language as its ancestral pieces, the present cased in pink gold paired contrastingly with an attractive grey sunburst dial with stick and Arabic numerals is a classy example with a matching grey crocodile strap. Offered with its full set of accessories, the present example will certainly put a smile on the face of the new lucky owner.

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.
