Cartier Privé Tank à Guichets

In recent years Cartier has set the bar high with models such as the Tonneau, Tortue, Normale. Cartier’s ingenious design is achieved thanks to the use of a jumping hour hand and a dragging minute marker, all hidden behind a solid façade which means that, just as with all digital time displays, the legibility is almost immediate. The watch comes in four different versions where three of them have the hour marker and the minute marker at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock respectively. One version has the hour marker at 11 o'clock and the minute marker at 5 o'clock. This version is limited to 200 examples. Regardless of which version you prefer, they are all 37,6 mm high and 24,8 mm wide, with a height of 6 mm. A shared characteristic for all versions is the hand-wound movement 9755 MC, which is specifically designed for this model. The versions are released in yellow gold, rose gold and platinum.
