Introduction to Anna Wintour
Anna Wintour is the editor-in-chief of Vogue America, a position she has held since 1988, making her one of the longest-serving and most influential figures in fashion publishing. Born in London in 1949, she began her editorial career in the UK before moving to New York and ascending through the ranks of Condé Nast. Beyond her editorial role, she serves as the company's global chief content officer and chief of artistic projects. She is also the chair of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit — the Met Gala — which she has shaped into the fashion industry's most-watched annual event. Her cultural footprint extends well beyond magazines, and she was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2017.
The Anna Wintour watch collection, as far as public sightings confirm, is defined almost entirely by a single brand: Cartier. Specifically, Wintour has been photographed wearing a yellow gold Cartier Tank Louis Cartier on numerous occasions across several decades. A notable recent sighting came courtside at the Australian Open in Melbourne, where she wore the piece alongside her customary dark sunglasses and fur — the watch looking entirely at home in that company. The Tank Louis Cartier she favors appears to be the large size, featuring a clean silvered dial with Roman numerals, blued-steel sword hands, and the chemin-de-fer railroad track minute rail that distinguishes the Louis reference from other Tank variants.
What the collection reflects is a deliberate restraint that aligns with Wintour's broader editorial philosophy — the idea that quality and consistency outrank novelty. The Cartier Tank has been worn by editors, politicians, and artists for well over a century, and Wintour's continued loyalty to the reference, rather than rotating through trends, says something concrete about how she approaches personal style: once the right choice is made, there is little reason to revisit the decision.
Anna Wintour Spotted Wearing Cartier Tank in Yellow Gold with White Lizard Strap
Inserted 03/12/2022
The Cartier Tank is one of the few watch designs that has required zero conceptual revision in over a century. Louis Cartier drew its rectangular case in 1917, inspired by the overhead silhouette of a Renault FT tank on the Western Front — the parallel brancards mimicking the tracks, the case body the cockpit. Anna Wintour, Vogue's long-reigning editor-in-chief, was spotted at the Australian Open wearing what appears to be a vintage yellow gold Tank Louis Cartier in large size, paired with a white lizard-grain leather strap — understated, deliberate, and entirely on-brand.
