This hardcover book with 232 color pages presents the CARTIER TANK Watch.
Designed by Louis Cartier in 1917, the Tank watch is an icon of modern watchmaking. A wristwatch whose refined design, combining geometry and accuracy of proportions, defines its strong identity. Immediately recognizable and always in tune with the times, the Tank has been reinterpreted for more than a century through multiple variations, faithful to the spirit of the original design: Tank Cintrée, Tank Chinoise, Tank Américaine, Tank Française...
Thanks to numerous archival documents and partly unpublished photographs, the book reveals, from the passionate pen of a true connoisseur, the most significant Tanks, their technical characteristics and the portraits of famous customers whom they have won over.
Enriched with a chapter on the models created since 2017, this new edition offers a journey to the heart of the myth.
