Cartier Tank
Louis Cartier · 1917
The Cartier Tank is a line of watches made by Cartier. It was created by Louis Cartier in 1917, and inspired by the new Renault tanks which Cartier saw in use on the Western Front. The prototype watch was presented by Cartier to General John J. Pershing of the American Expeditionary Force. The Tank was introduced in 1918, and entered full production in 1919, when six pieces were built. Its lines and proportions are similar to those of tanks used on First World War battlefields. Its strap is integrated into vertical sidebars called brancards. The defining features of a Tank watch include its bold Roman numeral dial with a chemin de fer chapter ring, sword-shaped blued steel hands, and a sapphire cabochon-surmounted crown.

Nylon
Wallace Carothers · 1935
Nylon is a family of synthetic thermoplastics characterised by amide linkages, melt-processed into fibres, films and moulded shapes. Wallace Carothers made the first one at DuPont in 1935, and women's stockings made it famous. Pure nylon's weaknesses in clothing led to blends with cotton, polyester and spandex, and pure nylon is now rarely used.
