An Inside Look at Some of Cartier’s Most Iconic Watches

Since first breaking ground way back in 1847, Cartier has long been considered pioneers in the fine art of watchmaking. Venturing inside the archives of the storied French-based design house, we hear accounts of its dedication towards reinventing design styles and silhouette shapes — two areas that have helped Cartier rise to horological prominence. One such creation that has since spurred countless reinterpretations is the original Tank model. The iconic silhouette created by Louis-François Cartier features a square dial encased within a rectangular shape along with the trademark parallel lines surrounding the watch face.
