專家說明
The "Cabriolet Reversible" or "Tank Basculante" model was introduced into the market in 1932. The main purpose of this system allowed the complete 360 degree rotation of the case around the horizontal axis, and would protect the crystal and consequently the dial during sporting activities. The case could also be propped up at night to serve as a small desk clock.
Its development was a joint collaboration between LeCoultre, Csar de Trey of Specialits Horlogers SA in Lausanne and Jaeger Paris, resulting in the patent for a watch in 1932 reserved for Cartier and known initially as "Cabriolet Reversible". The case pivoted lengthwise within an articulated frame and the integrated winding crown was placed at 12 o'clock.
A re-edition of this wristwatch was launched in the 1990s.
The model is illustrated and described in Cartier - The Tank Watch by Franco Cologni, pp. 97-100 & 214-215
