Founded in Paris by Louis-François Cartier in 1847, Cartier is now a part of the Richemont Group where it resides today among illustrious colleagues of haute horlogerie.The basic story that Louis Cartier based the Tank design on the shape of WWI tanks seen on the Western Front is probably familiar to many readers. Cartier made clocks, pocket watches, and women’s wristwatches before wristwatches for men began to catch on – and when men did begin to wear wristwatches, Cartier played a major role in their wider adoption and the Cartier Tank was an important part of the transition from pocket to wrist.

This is a modern Cartier Man’s Tank Solo reference 3515 in a stainless steel case and great overall finish. This Cartier Tank XL is in very good to near mint condition, only minor hairlines on the polished parts. 1 year warranty.
