No, it’s not a Tank. And yes, it deserves your attention!

While Parisian jeweler to the stars Cartier may be best known in horological circles for its famed Tank watch, the French firm produced — and continues to produce — numerous other watch models that deserve equal billing for their unique and sumptuous designs.

The Louis Cartier collection, announced by Cartier Paris in 1973, constituted a redesign of the maison’s watch offerings upon its launch. Fresh takes on classics such as the Tank and Santos Dumont were accompanied by new designs, including that of the Ellipse. A slim, horizontal watch with a simple “Roman” dial, the Ellipse conveys the same spectacular design principles as the Tank in an unconventional format.

This particular Ellipse features a beautiful yellow gold case, Cartier's signature cabochon winding crown, and its centerpiece white “Roman” Paris signed dial with blued steel sword hands. Paired to a brown leather strap with a matching 18k yellow gold hidden deployant clasp, this piece makes for a beautiful dress watch, or a daily driver!

Everyone knows the Tank. This is your chance to own its equally compelling sibling!
