My mother just recently passed away and in her collection of jewelry I came across a Cartier watch. It was on bad shape. Cracked crystal, was not running and the leather band was so old it had deteriorated. Well I took it to a high class jewelry store to have it restored and a new band put on. It turns out that it is a Cartier Louie Tank! It is eighteen carat gold and the band was a lizard skin. It will cost me around $350 to restore and polish it and, this is what floored me, it is worth about $5000 dollars! I have never owned a 5000 dollar watch! It is a mechanical movement and I intend to wear the crap out of it! Me with a Cartier! Thanks Ma. She is pleased seeing it being worn and enjoyed. She loved that watch. And now I will love and cherish it too.

I think it’s VERY important to give updated and accurate information regarding the Tank Solo. The Tank Solo XL has been offered with an automatic movement for years, and for the past ~3-5 years actual house the in-house 1847MC movement (the original was an eta based automatic movement). That makes the tank solo xl an even better entry into cartier. You get the iconic design WITH an in-house movement for

I have a cartier tank franchise because it came out my birth year and one came up for sale that was a 2009, which was the 90th anniversary of Cartier. I find the fact that they used III instead of IV very intriguing and its just a gorgeous watch. I'd never do it with vintage Rolex but I like a polished Cartier unless its the Santos.

Not comprehensive, overlooked the Divan and many other versions named elsewhere in comments. The Divan is a tank shape turned sideways, much less common than the upright tank. When a French tank from WWI is viewed from directly above, as in a birds eye view, the outline of the exterior forms the same shape as L. C.'s original watch case. It is said L.C. got the idea of the shape from looking down at a tank during a balloon ascension in France, he loved early aviation and soon came the Santos line. Santos was a popular WWI aviator. F. Cologni has written the definitive book thus far focusing on the L. C. tank design.

I was hoping they would continue on that part, and fit the Tanks with an automatic or in-house movement. I'll take your point that the classic Tank is meant to be small, much like the one Jeff Goldblum and John Goldberger often wear; thin and under the cuff. At 7.35mm though, it's hardly an issue.

Nice overview of the Cartier Tank line. I love them all. You were spot on about the watches as well as your pronunciation of the French names. Francais without the terminal ‘e’ is the masculine form and how you pronounced the name of tank variation would be correct, if tank weren’t a feminine word, as the terminal letter ‘e’ indicates. Long way to say that you should say the end of the Francaise the same way you did with Anglaise.
