Cartier Tank Française

“A permanent design like the Cartier Tank has proven time and time again that carefully considered evolutions continue to demonstrate its eternal appeal”

The Tank Française follows the all-too-clever Cartier trick of extremely recognizable design which it continues to maintain despite the cosmetic upgrades. The Française ticks the entry-level box, and serves as a sort of horological version of a Love bracelet, because what you are really buying here is jewelry that tells the time.

Today, we’re highlighting three gorgeous Tank Française Small references, currently available in the Hodinkee Shop.

Ref. W51026Q3

Encased in the fan-favorite stainless steel, the resulting ensemble makes for a classic piece of timekeeping measuring 20mm wide designed for all-day everyday wear. What makes this specific reference so compelling is its script-flipping dial configuration, seen here with a black dial carrying silver-colored details including its Roman numerals and the steel sword hands.

Ref. W51027Q4

This late 1990s take on a classic looks like it could be from almost any era in Cartier history. Its octagonal crown is replete with a synthetic cabochon that matches the blued steel of its hands. Along with its mother-of-pearl dial, the resulting ensemble makes for an elegant and classical piece of jewelry.
