Description
“Named after Louis Cartier himself, the Cartier Tank Louis is considered one of the purest representations of this model and was first released in the year 1919. It took a further few years, however, for the design of the Tank to catch on. Its flanks or brancards were an unfamiliar look during a time when traditional wristwatches took on a slender rounded look. The sides of the Tank case led seamlessly into a straight set of lugs, transitioning into a slender, elegant and refined look on the wrist. The Cartier Tank Louis watch also featured a sapphire cabochon set into its crown at 3 o’clock, as well as blued steel hands, both of which became adopted hallmarks of a Tank watch thereafter. Looking at the dial of the Cartier Tank Louis watch, it offers a clean, crisp and uncluttered display for easily reading the time from. In addition to this, the 4 o’clock location on the Roman numeral hour track is represented by IIII instead of the IV reference. The choice to do so achieves visual symmetry across the dial and an overall more appealing finish to the display.”
