Description
When Cartier first unveiled the Asymétrique in 1936, it was the last ‘Tank’ released in Louis Cartier’s lifetime, however, it was not introduced as a Tank at all, but rather a standalone model with the modern driver in mind that was named the Parallelogram. Its unique design took into account the position of a driver’s hands on the steering wheel, where the unconventional orientation of the dial would allow the driver to read the time effortlessly without lifting their hands from the wheel. However, due to the increasing success and brand recognizability of the Tank collection, the Parallelogram was rebranded as the Tank Asymétrique when it was relaunched in 1996.
