Reference: Cartier Tank
Brand: Cartier
Madison Avenue advertising executive Roger Thornhill is mistaken for fictional CIA agent George Kaplan when he responds to a waiter's page at the Plaza Hotel. Kidnapped by foreign spies led by suave Phillip Vandamm, Thornhill is interrogated, force-fed bourbon, and left in a car for a staged fatal accident. After narrowly escaping and failing to convince anyone of his kidnapping, Thornhill goes to the UN where he's framed for the murder of diplomat Lester Townsend. Fleeing to Chicago on the 20th Century Limited, he meets Eve Kendall who hides him from police—unaware she's actually Vandamm's mistress. Eve sends Thornhill to a remote cornfield where he's attacked by a crop-dusting plane in one of cinema's most iconic sequences. Discovering Eve's betrayal at an auction, Thornhill causes a scene to escape Vandamm's men. CIA spymaster "The Professor" reveals Kaplan never existed—he's a decoy created to protect Eve, an undercover American agent. Thornhill reluctantly agrees to help solidify Eve's cover. After Eve stages his "assassination" at Mount Rushmore, Thornhill discovers Vandamm suspects her. In a thrilling climax across the presidential monument's carved faces, Thornhill rescues Eve from Vandamm and his assistant Leonard. The refined Cartier Tank perfectly suits Thornhill's Madison Avenue sophistication while being impractical for the spy adventures he's thrust into.
