Review of Cartier Tank Solo W5200028 for Women

Cartier is one of the world’s most well-known luxury brands. Cartier’s prestige and recognizability are undeniably a huge draw for a great many people around the world. Originally introduced as far back as World War I, today this coveted collection is crafted using cutting-edge technology to feature enhanced functions such as calendar and power reserve displays. The Tank collection finds its manifestation in 6 ranges: Francaise, Americaine, Anglaise, MC, Solo, and Louis Cartier. The distinctively patterned bracelet is the highlight of this collection. It consists of rectangular links ingeniously integrated with vertical sidebars, which bring to mind the rugged construction of the tank’s tracks used during the war.

ABOUT CARTIER TANK

These intricately designed timepieces born from an unusual inspiration were eventually introduced by the brand as the Tank collection in 1917, before they were launched in the markets in 1919. There is nothing more elegant than a Cartier Tank. It was created by Louis Cartier in 1917 and was first presented to General Pershing of the American army during World War I. Cartier as a company will be 170 years old in 2017, but is no longer a small family-run jeweler, of course. The three grandsons of the founder were Louis, Pierre, and Jacques, and together they oversaw Cartier’s expansion to become a globally recognized name.

FEATURES

Cartier has achieved a remarkably cohesive identity and consistency across a wide range of products. The Tank collection has cases available in both rectangle and square shapes similar to the proportions of the tough war-machine. They also offer a broad range of movements from the simple yet precise Quartz to the technologically complicated and unerringly accurate automatic. The case is further accentuated with a cabochon crown and sword-shaped hour and minute hands set in a classic dial with Roman numerals, exuding a vintage feel.
