Louis Cartier created the Tank in 1917, and over the following decades the Maison kept playing with its lines. The Bec d’Aigle is one of the rarest of these variations. Its name, “eagle’s beak”, comes from the lugs: hooded, they curve down to a point and give the case a profile unlike any other Tank. Italians also call it "Cornice".

This example dates from the 1950s. Its 18k yellow gold case houses a manual-wind movement by the European Watch and Clock Co., the company Cartier set up with Edmond Jaeger to produce movements in the LeCoultre workshops in Le Sentier. Collectors pay close attention to these EWC movements in a Cartier of this period. The white dial, fitted in the 1970s, carries all the classic Cartier codes: black Roman numerals, inner railway track, blued hands and the “Paris” signature at six. The watch is in excellent condition and comes on a tan leather strap.

Small, precise and quietly unusual. A Tank for those who already know the Tank.

Cartier

Founded in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier in Paris, Cartier became renowned for its luxury craftsmanship. The brand revolutionized watchmaking in 1904 with the Santos, one of the first wristwatches designed specifically for men. The Tank, introduced in 1917, became another iconic design, offering both functionality and elegance. Cartier’s commitment to both artistry and technical precision has made it a prominent name in fine watchmaking.

Over the decades, Cartier has become a symbol of refined taste and style, with its watches embodying sophistication, elegance, and timeless appeal. The brand’s bold designs, often incorporating unusual shapes and precious materials, have made Cartier a favorite among royalty, celebrities, and discerning collectors. Today, Cartier continues to create exquisite timepieces that combine cutting-edge technology with classic elegance, maintaining its status as one of the world’s most prestigious watchmakers.
