The Tank Américaine watch was released much later down the line than other models, such as the Cartier Tank Louis for example, which launched in 1922. In fact, this family of wristwatches came just 7 years before the Cartier Tank Française collection, yet differed from these designs in the Tank Francaise was set directly at the centre of the bracelet to mimic perfect lines.

Cartier Tank Américaine watches provide the wearer with a companion that is both reliable and beautiful. The elegant design of this collection welcomes the chance to admire Cartier’s ability to balance proportions on the dial with perfection. Sapphire crystal glass is used to protect a silver flinque dial with Roman numeral hour indexes coated in a striking black lacquered finish. Some variations of the Cartier Tank Américaine collection feature a date aperture seen at 6 o’clock and are powered via a self-winding movement, others are quartz operated and suspended within a solid 18k rose gold case for optimum elegance. 

Cartier Tank Américaine watches are a wonderful choice for a lady or gentleman’s valentines or anniversary gift or a special birthday treat. The versatile design of the watch makes it great for taking away on vacation, or wearing as a daily office companion, whilst adding interest to dull work attire or a plain suit. A legible dial sitting underneath the sapphire glass which has been treated with anti reflective and scratch resistant treatment, will allow the lady or gent to reference the time at any point throughout the day, without any undesirable glare from surrounding light affecting the dial.

Whether it be the simplicity of their dials, or the luxury finish found within each variation, Cartier Tank Américaine watches are without a shadow of a doubt, a true slice of quintessential Swiss timekeeping. An example of the meticulous art behind one of the most famous watchmakers in the world.
