CARTIER. A RARE PLATINUM LIMITED EDITION JUMP HOUR WRISTWATCH WITH WANDERING MINUTES, MADE TO COMMEMORATE THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF CARTIER

The Tank wristwatch was created by Louis Cartier in 1917 during World War I. With a name firmly associated with horology and Cartier, the present Tank wristwatch is cased in platinum and part of a limited edition of 150 examples made to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Cartier in 1997. It is inspired by the historical Tank à Guichet model launched in the late 1920s, the first Cartier Jumping hour wristwatch, which attracted the likes of many including the Maharaja of Patiala, a great patron of Cartier.
