Description |
The Tank Louis is Cartier's definitive silhouette. Inspired by and named after the fighting vehicle that terrified soldiers in the trenches of the First World War, its case and lugs resemble the top down view of the earliest tank designs.
It's no ordinary military watch, however. Rather than modern manufacturers' love for stealthy aesthetics and matte textures, Cartier's military-inspired watch is thin, formal, and made from precious metal. This example has a stealthy platinum case. Skeletonising a movement is actually far more complex than it initially seems. While the process does include removing much of the metal from the movement's plates, a lot of consideration has to be put into maintaining the structural integrity of the actual mechanism. This is to ensure that parts don't literally break from a lack of support. Secondly, skeletonisation can easily double the the surface area on a movement that requires decoration. This means that it takes longer to produce a skeletonised movement, as there is more labour-intensive work. As such, many watchmakers actually class their skeletonised watches under "complications", a term they otherwise reserve for annual calendars and chronographs. Cartier's skeletonisation is even more impressive, given that the movement had to be entirely redesigned to fit in the rectangular case. Other watchmakers might repurpose a round movement to avoid the extra design and engineering work, but not Cartier. |
