During the 1970s, Cartier would collaborate with leading Swiss watch movement makers like Piaget. This is a great example of that collaboration – one of Cartier’s famous “Tank” designs, dated circa 1971-1972. The slanted Roman numerals on the dial are reminiscent of the classic Cartier Tank line, and the blued hands provide a highly appealing pop of color. The Piaget half of the partnership lies with its movement, a Swiss mechanical movement with 18 jewels signed by Piaget. Ageless and enduring, the elegance of this timepiece allows it to be enjoyed for decades to come.
Established in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier after inheriting his mentor’s workshop, Cartier has grown to become one of the most prestigious jewelry manufactures in the world. Cartier’s notable ventures into watchmaking include one of the world’s first modern wristwatches, the Santos de Cartier, the iconic Cartier Tank, and one of the first water-resistant watches ever created, the Cartier Pasha.
