Tank, feminity in all its forms - Cartier
1 minute read
It’s a great Cartier classic, an icon that reveals the multiple facets of its personality in step with the variations and the nationalities it is given. These include precious jewelry interpretations of the Tank Américaine and the Tank Anglaise.


First created in 1989, the Tank Américaine was a natural descendant of the Tank Cintrée watch designed in the early 1920s and featuring the same curve of the case, while the rectangular shape is more compact and the vertical side bars are rounder. This horological and stylistic marvel plays with geometrical effects, alternating between sharp and soft, straight and curved, rounded and angular lines. This timeless model takes on a further touch of sophistication with a bracelet composed of ‘snake’ links resembling silky smooth pink or white gold ‘scales’ paved with diamonds in the more precious versions. This delightfully feminine and refined gem radiates a flowing, voluptuous graphic appeal that adds to the legendary charm of this elegant American.

The Tank Anglaise launched in 2012 signals a breakthrough in the quest for esthetic purity and appears to have taken its cues from the design ethos of Louis Cartier and his desire for fully integrated design by forming a consistent, eminently readable whole. The signature vertical side bars now house the winding crown in a perfectly smooth alignment. The latest addition to the Tank line, the Tank Anglaise watch displays its precious feminine assets with new versions on alligator leather straps in tangy colors. Cartier delicately accentuates the femininity of this model with entirely diamond-pavé cases. This new interpretation on a leather band is also available in non gem-set versions fitted with alligator straps cultivating the timeless classicism of chestnut brown and black.
