The Tank watch, the classic timepiece designed

by

Louis

Cartier

a

century

ago,

is

an

icon

of

modern design. One of the world's first square

wristwatches

(the

first

was

the

legendary

Santos

designed

by

Cartier

in

1904),

its

functionality

is

rivaled

only

by

its

timeless

elegance;

it

represents

a

perfect

combination

of fine watchmaking and geometric rigor. Over

the past century, the Tank has been creatively

reinterpreted

by

the

House

in

many

famous

models,

from

the

Tank

Chinoise

to

the

Crash

watch

to

the

Tank

Anglaise,

while

always

remaining

faithful

to

Louis

Cartier's

original

concept. This

volume

celebrates

the

centenary

anniversary

of

one

of

Cartier's

greatest

masterpieces

through

designs

from

Cartier's

rich archives, historical models, and photographs

of famous clients, from Clark Gable and Andy

Warhol

to

Muhammed

Ali

and

Madonna,

who

have

chosen

the

Tank

watch

as

their

favorite

timepiece.
