The return of the iconic Tank Louis Cartier

 
 By: SJX : April 26th, 2012-04:34
Cartier just unveiled this at SIHH in January. This is the first mechanical Louis Cartier Tank in several years, before this the only versions available were unfortunately all quartz, including one that had an awful looking date window at 3 o'clock. Tank ...  

This watch is pure beauty...

And the movement is perfect for such watch. Thanks a lot for the excellent post SJX. Fx

This is a fantastic watch. Simple, elegant,

no extra frills to muck up the dial. Sometimes less is more. Is the Les Must watch from 1977 a quartz or mechanical model? Along those lines, did Cartier switch to mostly quartz watches in the seventies to go with the trend, or were they still producing a...

I was thrill that you mention in some earlier pot that Cartier is going to release a non-quartz tank. Counting days ... This watch is beautiful. at 40mm? The size intimidate me abit. Let's hope we'll see a more small wrist friendly size. Regards Tyler

It is big but wearable

...and the Piaget movement powering it is a nice one. One of the most iconic dress watches reborn. Well done, Cartier. Cheers, Daos

Big,but exquisite!Tank Asymetrique and another flat rectangular are not mentioned: Ellipse

I ment Pateks Ellipse as a flat one. But if I am not mistaken there was also a Tank Ellipse? It is a very, very likeable watch indeed, this model. Thank you once more for a nice read here. Best Moritz

You are thinking of the Tank Arrondie or Ellipse

With the round off side edge from the 70s. Best, Horo

There was a Tank version in 2006 or so

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 12th, 2012-00:23
A yellow gold Asymetrique. That one looked really nice with a dial like the VC Americain, turned a bit to the to the right hand side. But there has been also a Tank with round edges in the 70ies, you are right. The Ellipse reference was more an example of... 

A beautiful traditional watch meant to be worn to the office!

Great watch. The Tank and the Jaeger-leCoultre Reverso Duo in rose gold are on my short list for square office-attire watches. Kind of forgot about the Tank until I recently started noticing the new Tank models here on the forums. Arguably more famous tha...
