Worn by Bill Clinton, Elton John, Djimon Hounsou, Jennifer Aniston, Anna Wintour, and the late Princess Diana, the company's watches have long been favorites of royalty, Hollywood celebrities, and any person desiring to wear a watch of distinction.

Designed personally by Louis Cartier in 1917 and patterned after an army tank, Cartier's iconic Tank watch symbolized speed and achievement. Cartier Tanks, already known as a true iconic watch, have seen an explosion in popularity in the last year.

Today's offering showcases this mens midsize vermeil Cartier Tank watch with diamond encrusted case. It has an iconic tank case, classic and strong black Roman dial, gold epee hands, sapphire topped crown, and mechanical Cartier movement.

The case has previously been encrusted with diamonds by a jeweler (non-Cartier). Originally designed for men by today's standard it could also be worn well by a woman.

Before cost-cutting measures brought about the widespread use of cheaper quartz movements for many wristwatches, Cartier contracted with watch manufacturers to produce mechanical movements designed to last a lifetime. Using traditional watchmaking practices, these gifted craftsmen poured individual attention into each wristwatch. As a result, mens Cartier wristwatches with mechanical movements are often more sought after by collectors than their quartz counterparts.

It has just had a true expertly done restoration and presents in beautiful condition. On the wrist it presents like new.

One of our Master Watchmakers has previously disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. It is running very strong and true, keeping exceptionally accurate time in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch, it comes equipped with a leather strap and aftermarket Cartier style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center and has done authorized work for the Cartier Service Center.
