Replica Cartier de watches

Welcome to the latest installment in our Cost of Entry series. In this aBlogtoWatch feature, we examine different brands through the lens of their most affordable model. Having previously looked at the entry-level offerings of Rolex, Omega, Panerai, and Hublot… today, a name well-known even far outside the world of watches: Cartier. And none other than the iconic Tank, in the form of the Cartier Tank Solo XL Automatic, represents the most affordable mechanical men’s watch Cartier offers, at around US$3,500. The question is, however, what exactly you get with the Replica Cartier de watches Cartier Tank Solo XL Automatic and how well it represents the brand.

We don’t need to tell you that Cartier is one of the world’s most well-known luxury brands. While I like to approach this series as a brand study rather than as how to buy into a prestigious name for the least amount of money possible… Cartier’s prestige and recognizability are undeniably a huge draw for a great many people around the world. Cartier has achieved a remarkably cohesive identity and consistency across a wide range of products, but where does the Cartier Tank Solo XL fit in to that? In this article, we want to look at what exactly the Cartier Tank Solo XL offers in terms of value, history, horological interest, style, and that more vague quality that is Cartier essence. The Cartier Tank turning 100 years old in 2017 also makes it timely to revisit its story that is a big part of the watch we are looking at today. Founded in Paris, France, by Louis-François Cartier in 1847, Cartier as a company will be 170 years old in 2017, but is no longer a small family-run jeweler, of course. The three Replica Cartier watches grandsons of the founder were Louis, Pierre, and Jacques, and together they oversaw Cartier’s expansion to become a globally recognized name – Louis being the most central to our story.

Replica Cartier ballon blanc de watches

Louis Cartier, the founder of the Replica Cartier ballon blanc de watches brand, invented the Cartier Tank in 1917. It is the brand’s most iconic model. The Tank’s name and design pays homage to the Renault FT-17, a French tank used during the first World War. The watch somehow manages to be both rectangular and square, borrowing lines from its namesake.  The leather strap seamlessly integrates into the case, and Roman numerals grace the dial. Lastly, the crown features a single blue sapphire. Cartier gifted the Tank’s first prototype to U.S. General John Pershing in 1918. It may sound strange for a watch, particularly one as elegant as this, to derive its name from military equipment. However, the Renault held high regard as innovative. The Renault was the first tank to house its weapon in a fully-rotating turret. It was a small, but mighty Replica Cartier watches design.

Inspired by the modern lines of the Renault, the Cartier Tank was a departure from the curvier jewelry designs of that time. In 1919 the first Tank’s debuted to the public market. However, Cartier only made six. By the early 1920’s the Tank’s popularity was rising. It was and still is a sophisticated, yet tough, unisex timepiece with a serious celebrity following.
