What are rectangular watches called?
1 Answer
Rectangular watches are sometimes called tanks. Cartier pioneered the design and named it after the Renault tanks that the French military used during World War I. A watch with a rectangular case with rounded corners is a tonneau, named after the French word for barrel. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of watches.
