About
Originally introduced in 1936, the Cartier Tank Asymétrique is defined by its case shape. Shearing the classic Cartier Tank case into the shape of a parallelogram results in an asymmetrical but still beautifully balanced design. The placement of the 12 and 6 o’clock positions in the corners of the geometry reveals the clever manipulation of the dial layout to suit the new aperture.
