Worn by: Rudolph Valentino as Ahmed Ben Hassan
Reference: Cartier Tank
Brand: Cartier
Verification: 90% - Fantastic circumstantial evidence since Valentino is seen on the set wearing a Cartier that looks very much like the one that appears in the film.
Rudolph Valentino is seen in the film and on set in costume as Ahmed Ben Hassan smoking and showing his Cartier Watch during filming of The Sheik (1921) directed by George Melford. This is an adaptation of the 1919 novel The Sheik, by Edith Maude Hull. The novel is a romance that tells the story of an English socialite and an Arab sheik, a story the film adapted for the screen.
