Vintage Cartier “Tank Francaise” Folding Travel Alarm Clock | Paris, Circa 1990
An elegant and timeless vintage Cartier travel desk clock, model Tank, crafted in gilt brass and blue enamel and produced by Cartier, Paris circa the 1990s. Designed after the iconic Cartier Tank Française aesthetic, this sophisticated folding clock exemplifies Cartier’s mastery of refined form and functional luxury.
The clock features a white enamel dial with Roman numerals painted on the outer bezel, steel spear-shaped hands, and a classic blue cabochon crown used to adjust both time and alarm. The quartz movement (battery-powered, Swiss mechanism) has just been serviced with a new battery and functions perfectly, including the alarm.
Compact and architectural in form, the square case opens on a hinged base, allowing it to be displayed as a desk clock, bedside clock, or travel timepiece. The reverse is signed Cartier, marked Made in France, and bears the serial number 355113962.
Presented with its original Cartier red leather case, suede travel pouch, and accompanying instruction and warranty booklets, this piece is no longer in production and is increasingly sought after as a luxury decorative accessory.
