WHY BUY FROM THEO & HARRIS?
FROM THE CURATOR
A streamlined successor to the original Cartier Tank (the Normale), the Louis was the Cartier which established the brand as a cultural force. Inspired by the Renault tanks that the French jeweler saw in battle on the Western Front during the first World War, the Tank has been the foundation of the brands collection since.
This example, which is powered by a manually wound caliber, features an unpolished 18k yellow gold case, guilloche dial and super desirable elongated cabochon crown. It’s the perfect Louis for any lady, one that brings to mind Andy Warhol’s famous remark on his favorite wristwatch, “I don’t wear a Tank watch to tell the time. Actually I never even wind it. I wear a Tank because it is the watch to wear.”
And of course, it comes complete with a certificate of authenticity and appraisal and is shipped carefully and fully insured via UPS expedited service.
