From the historic Cartier Santos to the iconic Tank, they have been responsible for some of the most important and most elegant watches around.

This elegant white gold Cartier dress watch is a perfectly example of the Maison's ability to create perfectly balanced timepieces which both striking and simple. Its softly cream colored dial is accentuated by clean roman numerals, beautiful blued steel hands, and that legendary name. As though the design wasn't appealing enough, the Calibre 2003 manually winding movement was supplied by none other than Audemars-Piguet. 

A study in chic simplicity - this slim white gold dress piece is sure to impress anyone who catches a glimpse as it peeks out from under the cuff of a finally tailor sleeve. 

The Story

Despite being a purveyor of haute joaillerie, Cartier has had a long tradition of making watches. It started in 1907, when founder Louis Cartier made what was arguably the very first wristwatch for his friend Alberto Santos-Dumont. Throughout the years, the brand made a name for itself with its most famous wristwatch, the Tank, in all its multitudinous forms.

But the Tank is not the only beautiful bit of horology to come from the hallowed halls of Cartier, as clearly evidenced here!
