Relatively unspoken of in the wider watch world (although the tide certainly seems to be shifting with the ever insatiable appetite for all things gold and dress), here for sale at Mann About Time is a sharp 18ct Tank style dress watch from niche-darling of the 60s and 70s: Bueche-Girod, who as well as rolling out exquisite wristwatches and jewellery in those halcyon days, manufactured both cases and movements for the ever-lauded Cartier. It comes as no surprise then to unearth the present watch, which shares so many design cues of the iconic Tank Normale, at a fraction of the price
