In short, yes. At Banks Lyon, we offer Cartier watches with 0% finance, which gives you the freedom to pay for your timepiece in monthly instalments. Our flexible and straightforward approach means you can spread the cost of some Cartier Tank Francaise watches from six months all the way up to five years. Many customers prefer this option as it means they can start wearing and enjoying their timepieces right away, even if they do not have the funds available to pay for the entire cost upfront.
Our financing options are easy to follow and easy to use due to our finance calculator. Simply select the duration for which you wish to spread the cost, choose your deposit amount (from 10% to 50%), and discover what your monthly instalments will be.
Please note that financing a Cartier Tank Francaise timepiece is subject to status and is only available for watches between £500 and £20,000. You must read the financing descriptions on the product page of your chosen timepiece to find out what is available.
We are official stockists of Cartier Tank Francaise watches here at Banks Lyon, which means our customers benefit from 100% authenticity and the manufacturer’s warranty. Your Cartier warranty covers a range of defects, but only if found to be defective due to a manufacturing fault. If this is the case, the watch can be repaired or replaced completely free. As standard, this warranty is 2 years for all Cartier models. However, if you register your watch with Cartier Care after purchase, you will benefit from 8 years of warranty.
There are many advantages to extending your warranty, including:
It also includes technical diagnostics and advice, should you need it. This technical diagnostic involves inspections to check precision, amplitude, and water resistance, for example, which makes sure that the watch is working optimally. The registration process is straightforward and will only take a few minutes of your time. Importantly, this registration is entirely free and does not require you to sign up for any additional services or make any payments. It is simply a way to enhance the protection of the watch you already own.
If you are struggling to register your Cartier Tank Francaise watch or would like more information about the warranty of your timepiece, we are more than happy to help. We work closely with Cartier, and our team are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with this luxury watchmaker.
The Cartier Tank Francaise is one of the most iconic collections from the luxury watch brand, but what are its design influences, and how did it become such a celebrated range? Originally launched in 1996, this collection of watches became an instant classic among the other Tank models, inspired by the French military’s Renault tanks used in WWI. The Francaise, however, is known as the sleeker and sportier Tank, offering wearers a modern alternative to the traditional designs of the other models.
Unmistakably a Tank, the Francaise has a square dial with a slightly curved case that flows seamlessly into the bracelet. However, alongside the monochromatic metal, these watches have a smoother look than other Tank models, which gives them a modern and elegant twist. These watches appeal to those who like the square elements of the Tank but want something sportier and more contemporary.
In recent years, Cartier has brought in some famous faces to adorn these pieces, including French actor and producer Catherine Deneuve and American actor Rami Malek. These ambassadors have helped uplift the Tank Francaise and give it a new, Hollywood-esque feel.
While the design and aesthetics of a watch are significant parts of what makes a model stand out, its functionality is absolutely essential. These Cartier timepieces are accurate, but there may still be occasions when you need to adjust the time; thankfully, this is a quick and simple process. For Tank Francaise small models and medium models without a date:
The last step is incredibly important to ensure that the watch remains water-resistant. For Tank Francaise large models and medium models with a date, the process is the same, but you must pull out the crown two notches instead of one.
Some Cartier Tank Francaise watches display the date, and adjusting this is a simple process, too:
If you are having trouble changing the date or time on your timepiece or it is too fast, slow, or has stopped completely, we are here to help. Get in touch or book a watch service today.
