Inspired by the French Renault tank from WWI, the now legendary Tank was designed by Louis Cartier in 1917. This classic wristwatch design has become an emblematic staple for Cartier as a brand and has seen little design changes throughout its existence. After over 100 years, it is still synonym of French elegance.
