Start 2025 in Style: Exploring the Cartier Tank Solo Collection

A New Year, A Classic Look

As we step into the New Year, it’s time to reflect on timeless elegance and style. What better way to do so than by exploring the Cartier Tank, a watch that perfectly balances classic design and modern sophistication?

Available in a variety of sizes and models the Tank collection caters to every wrist size and style preference, making it the ultimate accessory for 2025 and beyond.

The Cartier Tank Collection

The Cartier Tank Solo pays homage to the original Cartier Tank design. Introduced in 1917 designed by Louis Cartier. Inspired by the clean lines of military tanks from an arial view. 

Transforming an object like a tank, born from one of humanity's most challenging times, into a symbol of beauty and elegance is a testament to the power of design and creativity.

The design of the Tank watch is defined by a clear and graphic principle: the brancards represent the tracks, while the case symbolises the vehicle's cabin. The result, an iconic watch that embodies refined luxury. 

When released, this resonated with a generation from this time, and it has continued to do so, Cartier has as always moved with the times and offered new models and interpretations whilst maintaining the main principles of the design.
