Cartier Tank Louis W1529756 26mm x 33mm (2018)

The Cartier Tank was first introduced in 1917 by Louis Cartier, inspired by the top-down view of Renault military tanks used in World War I. The watch’s distinctive rectangular case and integrated lugs broke away from the traditional round pocket watch style, setting a new standard for modern wristwatches. The Tank Louis was introduced in 1922, refining the original design with softer, rounded lugs and a more elegant, elongated case. It quickly became a favorite among royalty, celebrities, and tastemakers, including Jackie Kennedy, Andy Warhol, and Princess Diana. With its classic Roman numeral dial, sapphire cabochon crown, and minimalist design, the Tank Louis remains a symbol of timeless sophistication and one of Cartier’s most celebrated creations.

Please note, this watch was serviced by the Cartier brand in 2019.
