The Cartier Tank was designed by Louis Cartier himself in 1917, and it is said he had based the design of the Tank from military tanks he saw in World War I . The main differences between the Francaise and other Tank models is the case of the Tank Française is squarer in shape rather than rectangular, as well as having the new integrated metal bracelet.
Cartier was founded in 1847 in Paris by the jeweller Louis-François Cartier, who in 1899 handed over to his three sons. They would establish the company internationally, not least by making the Cartier name a favourite among the crowned heads of Europe. The first wristwatch created by Cartier, in 1904, was a special order from Louis Cartier's friend, the flamboyant Brazilian aviation pioneer Alberto Santos Dumont. The Cartier Santos greatly contributed to the popularity of the wristwatch among the Parisian high society.
