One of the most well-known watches available is The Cartier Tank, which has an instantly identifiable rectangular case.
The Tank Must was intended to introduce elegance to the general public when it was first introduced in 1977. For a significant portion of Cartier's existence, its timepieces were thought to be a luxury only available to the wealthiest. Les Trente Glorieuses, or "the glorious thirty," refers to the thirty years following World War II when France and its people experienced unprecedented levels of economic prosperity. During this time, things started to change. All of a sudden, a greater number of people found luxury goods appealing and within their reach, and Cartier discovered a new market of upper middle class buyers to whom it could market its goods.
Whether you love it or not, this design icon is a testament to the importance of exquisite and well-balanced design.
Cartier Tank Must | Full-Set | ref. 590005 from 2000
The Cartier case of this watch shows signs of wear. However, this watch is also more than 20 years old. It is the classic men's size, measuring 23 x 30mm. The gold vermeil is complete and has no missing spots, and the case is sharply edged and unpolished. The dial is brilliant in a creamy vanilla colour, almost perfect. The recognizable sapphire cabochon is on display in the crown.
The watch keeps good time and it's in working order.
