Despite reinventions of the iconic Tank watch spanning more than a century, the clean, crisp lines and stylistic square face of this exquisite timepiece remain as desirable now as when they were originally designed by Louis Cartier in 1917. Updated with a chain-link bracelet and contemporary finishes - this one in stainless steel - the curved case hosts a silvered dial with distinct Roman numerals, sword-shaped hands and a synthetic cabochon-shaped spinel. In perfect harmony, the Tank Française edition seamlessly incorporates the parallel lines of the brancards with the lugs and triple-folding steel buckle, taking influence from square shapes in classical French architecture.
