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 beautiful Certified Pre-Owned mens Cartier Tank watch. It has an iconic tank case, white Roman dial, blued 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 by a woman. Our Cartier Tank is one of the more modern models of the Tank.
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 all of its original parts and presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10.
Its case presents as gorgeous mint. Even the screw heads appear in excellent condition to the naked eye. Its dial presents as mint.
A Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the handwound Cartier movement. We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping accurate time.
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 special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center and also has done authorized work for Cartier's service center.
For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it. It comes equipped with a brand new aftermarket calfskin leather strap and what appears to be a Cartier 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 and a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
