The classic Cartier Tank has held an iconic status for more than a century since its first creation in 1917. In our cover story this issue, we examine the great success of the Cartier Tank, a brilliant and timeless design by Louis Cartier inspired by the utilitarian Renault tanks. Still on the subject of design, Felix Scholz brings you the story of creative designer Alain Silberstein, known for his technical geometric shapes and playful use of primary colors, while Bhanu Chopra highlights the life of prominent Bauhaus designer, Max Bill, and his collaboration with Junghans watch company.
