The Tank watch was created by Louis Cartier in 1917 and a legend was born. Its joints built into the case, it is both square and rectangular; modern yet timeless. A stroke of stylistic genius and quite unique, the iconic Tank watch has inspired countless variations while preserving its distinctive identity throughout the decades.
