TANK SOLO WATCH The Cartier Tank Solo is a classic piece, an up- dated iteration that pays homage to the legendary 1917 Tank watch. Over 100 years ago, this design marked an evolutionary change from the traditional round watch shape, with its modernist rectangu- lar shape and clean lines. This iconic timepiece has seen numerous reinterpretations over the past century and has included Princess Diana among its devotees. Today’s Cartier Tank Solo references the original design, while seamlessly evolving for the 21st century in a range of colours and treatments. This model is the large Tank Solo watch (a small- er version is also available), in an 18k rose gold and steel case with an alligator skin strap. Sword- shaped hands and Roman numerals mark this piece as a classic Cartier. 108 | Simply Abu Dhabi
