Cartier - New model Tank Anglaise
2012: Never Stop Tank The Tank Anglaise watch: a logical progression
Paris, London and New York. 1847, 1902 and 1909. The Cartier brothers wasted no time in setting out to conquer the world. The entire Cartier back catalogue is coloured by this quest to open up to the international stage. The story of the House's iconic Tank watch typifies the pattern: following in the footsteps of the Tank Americaine and Tank Française, the Tank Anglaise was a logical progression. The Tank Anglaise watch is pure, distilled Tank. Featuring a concentrated form and emboldened lines, the fortified design offers proportion to spare. Cartier pairs this generous, ample volume with characteristic Tank features such as the bracelet seamlessly incorporated into the case, Roman numerals, chemin-de-fer chapter ring, and blued-steel sword-shaped hands. The signature parallel brancards now house the winding crown, which is perfectly streamlined.
The watch marks a milestone in the pursuit of pared-down design. With a winding mechanism that blends seamlessly into the brancard, the Tank Anglaise seemingly follows to the letter the aesthetic demands of Louis Cartier in his quest for streamlined design. The form stands as an intelligible, coherent whole; yet when the watch is tilted to the side, the winding mechanism comes into view, treating the knowing eye to a glimpse of the wheel of a tank. The Tank Anglaise watch is available in three ladies' and men's sizes in three colours of gold. The large models are powered by the Manufacture 1904 MC movement, visible through the open back.
The story of the Tank watch continues to be written, never to stop. Never Stop Tank.
Tank Folle watch: free-spirited forms
As a crafter of forms, Cartier has given its creativity free reign in the daring new Tank Folle watch. Channelling the extravagance and whimsy of the 1960s Crash watch, this new piece shakes up expectations, boldly asserting its freedom with deconstructed yet harmonious lines.
The watch cheekily checks all the boxes in the Tank legacy: the sun-style dial, Roman numerals and blued-steel sword-shaped hands are reinterpreted with a bejewelled twist as the brancards and winding mechanism are strewn with brilliant-cut diamonds.
The watch is powered by a manual-winding mechanical movement. This surprising, creative and stylish Tank collection is available in a limited series of 200 timepieces.
Tank Louis Cartier XL slimline watch: Supreme elegance
As a symbol of the extravagant elegance of the 1920s, the Tank Louis Cartier watch is one of the House's classic timepieces. This child of 1922 fastidiously embodies the marked contribution made by Louis Cartier to the modern style later known as Art Deco: the proud, taught lines of the square and rectangle are softened, and the geometry of corners is relaxed. Exhibiting seamless harmony all the way to the middle, this piece was destined for greatness.
Cartier has spotlighted the features of this timeless watch in a slimline XL version; with a thickness of 5.1 mm, this is the slimmest watch in the collection. Powered by a manual-winding mechanical movement, this piece is the ultimate expression of masculinity and refinement.
