The Cartier Tank design is iconic, this emblematic wristwatch has been a symbol of timeless beauty and elegance for more than a century since its introduction in 1917. It was designed at the time by Louis Cartier and its inspiration is said to have come from the horizontal section of a military tank from First World War, which is reflected in the watch’s rectangular shape and distinctive lugs. The Cartier Tank has been a favorite among celebrities, dignitaries and watch collectors for more than a century. Its enduring design and association with luxury timepieces explains why it was chosen as a starting point in the OAK collection many decades ago.
