Our Thoughts:
Tank à Vis celebrates the long history of the Tank model which draws inspirations from previous models, more notably the Tank Etanche which was a watch designed in the 1930s with a larger size to accommodate waterproof abilities. Launched as a part of the CPCP (Collection Priveé Cartier Paris) collection, the Tank à Vis represents the vision and creativity in Cartier’s long history of watchmaking.
There is an extra layer of excellence when it comes to these neo-vintage CPCP (Collection Priveé Cartier Paris) models that really pushed Cartier to compete with traditional Swiss watch brands with the use of more intricate ebauches from Switzerland, matching their design capabilities with mechanical excellence.
Despite the slightly chunkier aesthetics, the Tank à Vis still wears excellently on wrist. At 8mm thick, the wtach is by no means a big watch thanks to the Piaget inspired untra-thin movement.
