Product Description
From Cartier's Tank Americaine collection comes this elegant expression of time in solid 18 karat white gold. The petite elongated rectangular case curves gently to fit the contours of the wrist and presents on a beautiful gold link bracelet. Two small sword hands and large stylized Arabic numerals are featured against a dark gray dial, which is capped with an antireflective sapphire crystal. An 18 karat white gold octagonal crown, set with a faceted sapphire stone, accents the case. A luxury timepiece with a signature Cartier aesthetic, this watch offers Swiss quartz precision and is rated water resistant to 30 meters. About Cartier
The name Cartier is synonymous with luxury, quality, and style. Founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-Francois Cartier, the company became renowned worldwide for its design and production of beautiful jewelry and opulent objets dart. A royal commission in 1904 made Cartier a supplier to Europes Crowned Heads of State and led Englands King Edward VII to describe Louis Cartier, grandson of the founder, as "the jeweler of Kings, the King among jewelers."
By the early 20th century, Cartier had expanded its collection to include watches. At a time when pocket watches were still considered de rigueur for the distinguished gentleman, Cartier helped popularize the wristwatch, making it a bold fashion statement for men and women as well as a status symbol among the well-to-do. Louis Cartier is credited with creating the first mens wristwatch, the Santos, in 1904. He developed and named the watch for his client and friend, the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who needed a device that would allow him to read the time without taking his hands off the controls of his airplane. Other classic designs followed, including Cartier's signature timepiece, the Tank, in 1917, and later Cartier's first water-resistant watch, the Pasha, created especially for the Pasha of Marrakesh.
Treasured by collectors, Cartier watches are distinguished by their impressive variety of shapes (round, square, oval, Tank, Tortue and Tonneau), by their exceptional materials and workmanship, and by their recognizable Cartier aesthetic, an elegant blend of classic and modern design.
