Design & Construction
The Cartier Tank Americaine represents an evolution of the iconic Tank design, introduced in 1989 with distinctive curved case construction that wraps gracefully around the wrist. This 26mm x 46mm 18K white gold case showcases Cartier's refined proportions with elongated rectangular form and curved architecture that ensures comfortable wear. The polished white gold surfaces display excellent condition consistent with careful ownership and professional maintenance. Eight screws secure the caseback, which bears "John Sweitzer," "Cartier," "Automatic," "Water Resistant," "Swiss Made," and "18K" markings confirming authenticity and the piece's special service award provenance. The fluted crown features Cartier's signature blue sapphire cabochon, providing both functional grip and decorative beauty. Classic blued steel sword-shaped hands including center-seconds hand sweep across the guilloche dial, offering precise timekeeping through the automatic movement that has been fully checked and regulated. The brown crocodile-embossed leather strap (aftermarket replacement) attaches via integrated lugs, while the 18K white gold Cartier tang buckle ensures authentic period-correct presentation.
About This Special Watch
This Tank Americaine represents an exceptionally rare example: a special service award piece commissioned by Cartier to honor 20 years of service to employee John Sweitzer. The unique dial configuration features Arabic numerals "2" at the nine o'clock position and "0" at the three o'clock position, creating "20" when read horizontally across the dial center. The caseback engraving "John Sweitzer" permanently identifies the original recipient of this commemorative timepiece. This personalized detail transforms a production watch into a singular piece that celebrates two decades of service to one of the world's most prestigious luxury houses. Such employee service awards are extremely rare in the secondary market, as recipients typically retain these meaningful pieces throughout their lives. The provenance as a Cartier employee award adds historical significance and collectible appeal beyond the watch's intrinsic value as a fine 18K white gold Tank Americaine. The 1990s production date situates this piece within the golden era of modern Tank Americaine manufacture when Cartier maintained exceptional quality standards in both case finishing and movement regulation.
