The present watch is the Cartier Priv\u00e9 Tank \u00e0 Guichets in platinum, reference WGTA0236, a contemporary revival of Cartier\u2019s 1928 \u201cTank with Windows\u201d rendered to exacting modern standards.<\/p>\n

The platinum case measures 37.6 \u00d7 24.8 mm and a remarkably slim 6 mm in height, with the crown re-positioned at 12 o\u2019clock in the spirit of historic examples (as opposed to the 2005 CPCP re-editions of the Tank \u00e0 Guichets featuring a ruby-set crown at 3 o\u2019clock). Time is displayed digitally via twin apertures on the brushed front: a jumping hours window at 12 o\u2019clock and a \u201cdragging\u201d minutes window at 6 o\u2019clock, with burgundy Arabic numerals on white discs replacing the hands. Each aperture is framed by a beveled, mirror\u2011polished rim finished with movement\u2011style anglage, underscoring the piece\u2019s jewel\u2011like precision.<\/p>\n

Powering the watch is Cartier\u2019s new in\u2011house, manual\u2011winding caliber 9755 MC, an integrated jumping\u2011hour movement with approximately 42 hours of power reserve. True to the model\u2019s dress\u2011watch purity, the movement is housed behind a solid back.<\/p>\n

With its ultra\u2011slim profile, crown at 12, and crisp digital display framed by hand\u2011finished bevels, this Tank \u00e0 Guichets captures the essential modernism of the original while introducing a dedicated in\u2011house caliber for a definitive, contemporary take on Cartier\u2019s most minimal Tank.<\/p>\n

The watch is paired with an alligator leather strap and a platinum ardillon buckle, completing a restrained and beautifully balanced composition.<\/p>\n

Cartier\u00a0– Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded by Louis-Francois Cartier in 1847, the house of Cartier is the luxury jewellers by reference in France.
\nJewellers of the royal family and their prominent entourage, they quickly acquired fame in Europe. Later Louis Cartier gave a second life to old watchmaking traditions with pieces like the mystery clocks, gem-set watches and other flamboyant pieces.<\/p>\n

One of their iconic models called the Santos was made in 1904 for his friend and client the aviator from Brazil, Alberto Santos-Dumont. \u00a0 Followed by other successful models like the Tonneau in 1906, the Tortue in 1912 and the famous Tank in 1919 to mention few. The brand stayed in the family until 1964 and is now owned by a Swiss watch group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
