My view
What I think of it
Cartier Must de Cartier Tank Ref. 6 81006. Tridor/Trinity dial – ’80s/’90s
The birth of the Must de Cartier (1977)
In the 1970s, Cartier was going through a difficult period; its new head, Robert Hocq, decided to modernize the brand. In 1977, Cartier launched the Must de Cartier line.
Why the Tank Must became a cult watch
It remains popular because it combines:
