Introduced in 1921, Cartier’s Tank Cintreé has become one of the most iconic designs of the renowned manufacturer. The second watch in the company’s repertoire, it represents a small development, in its elongation, from the Tank Normale. The shape, slightly curved, embraces the wrist elegantly—a testament to the art deco period. At the time, the model was the largest and boldest adaptation of the famous Tank wristwatch, with a modern, fresh reinterpretation of its rectangular shape and case dimensions. Today, the Tank Cintrée is incredibly popular, having inspired modern successors in the now discontinued “Collection Privée, Cartier Paris” series, and present-day variants. The present Tank Cintrée from 2020 is a wonderful contemporary interpretation of the famed and iconic model. Retaining essentially the same design language as its ancestral pieces, it has a yellow-gold case preserve in basically new condition and a charming cream dial with baton indexes, closed inner minutes track and big 12 and 6 Arabic numerals.
