  • Artist Biography

    Cartier

    French

    With the Constitution of 1848 came a new standard for luxury in France. Founded one year prior by Louis-Francois Cartier, the house of Cartier was one of the first to use platinum in jewelry making. This incredibly expensive material became the stepping-stone for Cartier to experiment in form, mechanisms and attitude. It helped men move from pocket watches to wristwatches, effectively making the watch much more functional and prominent in a man's overall wardrobe.

    Cartier did not only touch on functionality. Inspired by a commissioned painting by George Barbier featuring a black panther at the feet of an elegantly bejeweled woman, Cartier began incorporating wild animals in his designs—most notably, Cartier Panthère rings, bangle bracelets and watches. Yet it wasn't until the late 1960s that the house of Cartier debuted their iconic yellow and rose gold LOVE collection, which includes the famous bracelet that only a special screwdriver can open.

May 2025 celebrates 100 years of Art Deco so it is perfectly timed to find this 18K rose gold manual wind Cartier Tank, itself a design that has endured for more than a century. The two-tone sector dial is both striking and subtle, recalling some of Cartier's great clocks of the early 20th Century, yet maintaining its totally contemporary feel. The 'large' size Tank measures a comfortable 34mm x 25mm and houses the manual winding 1917MC calibre movement. Fitted to a deep blue alligator strap and complete with the original Cartier Red Box and warranty card.
