Story & Heritage The Cartier Tank was first introduced in 1917 and quickly became a design icon, worn by artists, intellectuals, and world leaders alike. Inspired by the geometric lines of military tanks seen from above, the Tank redefined wristwatch design through balance, symmetry, and architectural clarity. The Must de Cartier collection was launched to bring this legendary design to a wider audience while preserving Cartier’s core identity. Crafted in Vermeil—gold plating over sterling silver—these watches combined luxury materials with accessibility, without sacrificing elegance or heritage. This example embodies everything that made the Tank legendary: elongated Roman numerals, refined proportions, blued-style hands, and the iconic cabochon crown. It is a watch that transcends eras and fashion, remaining as relevant today as when it was first conceived. Express Delivery Via UPS Express
