For over a century cartier has reinterpreted the tank while remaining faithful to louis cartier s original concept.
Tank is a design the two side pieces of the tank seamlessly connect the strap to the case.
That original watch was a rectangular watch nearly square like its cousin the santos with large rails sometimes called brancards the french for stretcher on either side of the roman numeral dial and a design that was at the time unlike anything else out there.
The cartier tank watch is a marvel of fine watchmaking.
While not as bold a watch as say the cartier santos 100 reviewed here the cartier tank mc more than makes a case for itself as a modern dress watch.
The tank cintrée is a lovely companion.
The cartier tank mc is perhaps larger than many tank watches but it still isn t huge or anything.
The tank watch was first introduced in 1917 hence this year s centenary celebration.
Cartier caliber 1904 ps mc automatic mechanical movement which beats at 28 800 vph comprised of 186 components contains 27 jewels and has a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.
The geometric crown is one of the signature elements that help make the cartier tank that tank.
The cartier tank solo xl automatic is hardly a large watch but it is successful in being a more modern sufficiently masculine iteration of the design.
It takes a while to get the cartier tank solo leather strap set up properly as it has to be folded pinched and put into place within the clasp it was confusing but the cartier tank solo leather strap is excellent quality and very durable.
This version of the tank mc is in steel but in my opinion where the cartier tank mc really comes alive is in the much more expensive 18k rose.
Either i have it or i can get it.
The wrist feel is amazing.
It could be a faithful partner for a business attire a romantic evening date or any other moment.
Simplistic and elegant it is the pinnacle of french watchmaking brought forth by the most prominent jeweler of the century.
At 31mm by 40 85mm and 7 65mm thin i find the cartier tank solo xl to be a masterpiece of design and proportions and a great fit for my 6 5 17cm wrist.
Rarely are jewelers capable of producing such a refined timepiece that critics and collectors revere.
