Could this be a Cartier Tank?

Hello everyone, I haven't posted in this section before, if this is the wrong place please let me know. My question: is it possible to identify the brand of Field Marshal Manstein's watch in the picture below? He is meeting with Turkish generals in 1943. Regards Chris

Daniel, I am sorry but I have to say this: we cannot go on for another 10 or 15 years. We have put a lot of effort into this, and there is so much new information we have found, it has to go out and should not be withheld from the public. We now find only very few new cases per year, rather like 5-10, at maximum. That would take us another 5-10 years, at least. And we don't even know if that total number you mention is anywhere near correct. Again, sorry, but someone has to bring this up. Chris

This will probably be the most promising focus for the last meters of our project to find missing HHOX awardees: career officers who got the HHOX in October or November 1918, not listed in Staatsanzeiger or MWB, and probably, at least in a number of cases, not even mentioned in newspapers, for various reasons. Some newspapers just stopped reporting awards, for example. And we have to be clear: the list will never be fully complete, some just will not be found. The project has to be finalized at some point, though. Westerberg is Fritz, from Essen. General-Anzeiger für Essen und Umgegend, 22.8.1918 "Krägelow" is Franz Krägeloh from Essen. General-Anzeiger für Essen und Umgegend, 21.9.1918
