Tank Francaise Watches

Undoubtedly the most popular Cartier watch ever created, the Tank has bedazzled wrists since it was introduced in 1917. The watch was designed by founder Louis Cartier himself, who got inspiration for the watch from army tanks being used on the Western Front during World War I. Since then, the Cartier Tank has been worn by icons such as Jackie Kennedy, Princess Diana, and Yves Saint Laurent. Featuring its signature square dial with Roman numeral hour markers and bracards which seamlessly integrate the bracelet with the dial, the Cartier Tank is a legendary timepiece which represents the pinnacle of watchmaking. The Francaise retains the original look of the Tank in the case and dial while adding a dash of new versatility with a chain-link bracelet that can be used for both a casual or formal look.
