At the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in January of 2012, Cartier introduced the newest addition to the brand’s line of luxury watches. The latest design is a modified version of the iconic Tank style Cartier is best known for…
Meet the Cartier Tank Anglaise.
Not only is the Tank Anglaise destined to be another big hit for Cartier in the luxury watch market- it is also an important piece in the brand’s history. The Tank Anglaise it will house Cartier’s very first, in-house made movement. (Cartier watches previously housed movements manufactured by the Swatch Group, prior to supply cuts made in early 2012 that hurt many luxury watchmakers- to learn more, read the NY Times article here)
The Anglaise retains the iconic, original elements of the Tank design, but with a more sleek and modernized approach- the Tank Francaise will strike a chord with conservative traditionalists and contemporary fashionistas alike.
It’s a design so seamless, so representative of the brand’s past, present and future- it has us wondering, could the Tank Anglaise actually be Cartier’s most perfect watch to date?
