At 'Watches and Wonders,' the world’s leading luxury watch fair, Cartier unveiled a lineup that blends heritage with bold reinvention. Five standout timepieces—all steeped in Maison codes—prove that when it comes to style and craftsmanship, Cartier never repeats history. It rewrites it. THE TANK LOUIS CARTIER WATCH
Created in 1922, the Tank Louis Cartier is the successor to the original Tank, known as the Tank Normale, whose design Louis Cartier reworked just five years after its inception. The case is elongated, the brancards are refined, the angles softened, and the choice of the rectangular shape is embraced. Cartier today relies to imagine a larger version featuring a new generation of mechanical Manufacture movement with automatic winding. Integrated while respecting the lines and proportions of the Tank, this movement, named 1899 MC, allows for the enlargement of the Tank Louis Cartier, available in both rose gold and yellow gold.
CARTIER PRIVÉ, TANK À GUICHETS WATCH
Each year, the Cartier Privé collection reveals a new interpretation of one of the Maison’s iconic timepieces. Following in the footsteps of the Tonneau, Tank Normale, and Tortue, Cartier Privé presents the Tank à Guichets watch. Powered by the hand-wound 9755 MC movement, a calibre with jumping hours and dragging minutes, this new interpretation offers two distinct styles. The first model revisits the 1928 design, with the hour aperture at 12 o’clock and the minute aperture at 6 o’clock. This version is available in yellow gold, rose gold, or platinum.
TRESSAGE
With the Tressage watch, gold, diamonds, and stones are transformed by an alchemy characteristic of Cartier. The Tressage watch follows in the footsteps of Cartier’s Maillon, Coussin and Reflection watches. The collection features four watches: one in which two twists of gold and diamonds surround a rectangular dial paved with snow-set diamonds; one in yellow gold with smooth gadroons contrasting a black dial and leather strap; one featuring a deep blue strap, with twists and a dial paved with snow-set diamonds and a second version of this iteration that introduces a gradient of sapphires alongside the diamonds.
PANTHÈRE JEWELRY WATCH
The Panthère Jewelry watch is a blend of watchmaking and jewellery with a three-dimensional panther and a ‘Toi & Moi’ bracelet, featuring the Maison’s emblematic feline on one side and a delicate watch on the other. In yellow or white gold, this singular piece of architecture reveals a highly realistic sculptural work of art: a leaping body, slender muscles, ear and nose details, and, under the paws, painstakingly crafted pads.
PANTHÈRE DE CARTIER WATCH
The Panthère watch, a true jewellery masterpiece, is reimagined through several creative and precious interpretations. Cartier imagines an abstract coat, neither entirely zebra nor entirely tiger, and bracelets sprinkled with a subtle shower of diamonds. An animal variation embraces sunlit colour combinations featuring a Black and golden-brown lacquer, pavé diamonds, orange and yellow spessartites. The emblematic bracelet of the Panthère watch is entirely paved with 314 brilliant-cut diamonds and 86 spessartites. Additionally, semi-paved variations come in rose gold or yellow gold in a shower of brilliant-cut diamonds, delicately arranged in a gradient across the links of the bracelet. Cartier elevates its elegance and modernity through a white dial encircled by a diamond-set bezel, which beautifully contrasts with the case.
