Cartier Tank Solo XL WSTA0029
The Tank Solo strips away any pomp and circumstance and sticks to the bare essentials. While not exactly spartan, this watch does seem businesslike and efficient. Some of this efficiency is due to the mechanical movement, the Cartier caliber 1847, with a 42 hour power reserve. The rest of the simplicity stems from its clean design and minimal steel case. With a somewhat enlarged case that measures 31mm by 23mm, this watch is pure Cartier. The icing on the cake is the white dial with legible Roman numerals, blued sword hands, and an octagonal crown with a blue cabochon to match

History of Cartier
Cartier, founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, began as a jewelry workshop that quickly gained recognition among French aristocracy. Under the leadership of Alfred Cartier, the company expanded into watchmaking, with a pivotal moment occurring in 1904 when Louis Cartier created the Santos Dumont, the world's first modern men's wristwatch, for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont.
Throughout the 20th century, Cartier continued to innovate in watch design, introducing iconic timepieces like the Tank in 1918, inspired by the Renault FT-17 tank. The company's watches became known for blending functionality with artistic elements, incorporating Art Deco influences and precious materials. Today, as part of the Richemont Group, Cartier remains a leader in luxury watchmaking, continuing to produce exquisite timepieces that combine tradition with contemporary design, from the classic Tank to the modern Pasha.
