Cartier Tank Louis Cartier XL
More actions
The Cartier Tank Louis Cartier XL is the largest execution of the 1922 Tank Louis Cartier, the softened, dress-watch development of the original 1917 Tank. Cartier first cased the XL from 2006 to 2008 in an approximately 32 × 40 mm rectangular case, limited to roughly 250 pieces in pink gold and 50 in platinum, then revived the size in 2013 with reference W1560003, a manually wound rose-gold case around 39.2 × 30 mm on Calibre 9753 MC (a Piaget 430P derivative) adding a power-reserve indicator to a guilloché dial. (WatchCrunch; Sotheby's) Deployant's survey of House of Cards names the Tank Louis Cartier XL as Michel Gill's President Garrett Walker's watch at his presidential inauguration, contrasted with the smaller, less overtly formal Calibre de Cartier he wears for daily meetings; the source gives no reference for the inauguration watch, so the generation shown on screen is unresolved.
