Tank Francaise

**A truly iconic dress watch from one of the world’s oldest watchmakers**

Cartier is known for many things, but in watchmaking circles, the French brand’s contributions to turn-of-the-century horology cannot possibly be overstated. After all, it was watchmaker Louis Cartier who is largely credited for helping popularize wristwatches, turning them from jewelry into stylish, purpose-built accessories for utility.

The modern Cartier watch still carries much of the art deco design language of its predecessors from over 100 years ago; the angular dials, bold Roman numerals, and in select models — a cabochon jewel set in the crown. These are watches once treasured by royalty, dutifully passed down from generation to generation, and rendered iconic by guys like Harry Truman, Cary Grant, Warren Beatty and Sammy Davis Jr.
