Cartier Tank Louis Medium - c. 1990
Big icon, smaller size!
Description
A gold case, flared side lugs, a railway-style minute track, blue hands, and a winding crown adorned with a sapphire cabochon: all the hallmarks of the Cartier Tank Louis are present. Instantly recognizable by its iconic design, this watch has lost none of its charm, even after so many years. It is elegant and very comfortable on the wrist.
This is the medium-sized model with a very practical quartz movement. It will appeal to those who like slim watches, harmonizing with the lines of the hand.
Thanks to its white dial, it can be paired with any strap color you choose, depending on your taste and the season. The strap currently on the watch looks perfect for summer, a light green that complements the yellow gold beautifully.
Why did Françoise choose her?
Because it's a watch we can't recommend highly enough. It's essential, both historically and stylistically. It's the quintessential watch to pass down, a piece that combines technical expertise and aesthetics, functionality and elegance. The Tank "was brilliantly created to remain eternally contemporary." That's why we have complete confidence in it.
This Cartier Tank Louis is truly perfect for any occasion. A watch that's a pleasure to wear and admire. It's particularly well-suited to everyday life, whether casual or elegant.
History
The Tank watch, also known as the Tank Normale, appeared in 1917. In honor of the heroes of the First World War, its design was inspired by early tanks. Five years later, the Tank Louis Cartier was created, a model very similar to the first but with a more elongated dial and thinner, more rounded lugs. Several generations have followed, maintaining the same distinctive features while adapting to new watchmaking technologies such as quartz. Numerous celebrities have adopted it, including Jackie Kennedy, Lady Diana, Alain Delon, Catherine Deneuve, Yves Saint Laurent, Gary Cooper, Johnny Hallyday, and Sophia Coppola, to name just a few.
