Design of the Cartier Tank Francaise luxury wristwatch

The Cartier Tank Francaise is equipped with two vertical side bars arranged parallel to each other to ensure seamless, horizontal attachment to the wrist. This innovation is the result and crowning achievement of years of design development and research at Cartier. One of the first rectangular wristwatches on the market, the Cartier Tank Francaise luxury model combines the clear and simple shapes of its French Art Deco predecessor with the avant-garde style of the Cartier luxury watch brand.
