Cartier Privé Tank à Guichets

The Cartier new releases at Watches and Wonders 2025 continue to honor the maison’s legacy of innovation and the revival of the Tank à Guichets is a testament to this philosophy. First introduced in 1928, the Tank à Guichets was a radical departure from traditional watchmaking featuring a minimalist, digital time display with jumping hours and dragging minutes. In 2025, Cartier Privé breathes new life into this rare design, balancing historical fidelity with modern refinement.

The Soul and the Body

The new Tank à Guichets is powered by the hand-wound 9755 MC calibre, developed specifically for this release. Its brushed metal central face contrasts beautifully with dark hued straps, emphasizing Cartier’s signature sculptural elegance. True to its heritage, the watch retains its 12 o’clock crown placement, an ode to the original.

The Variations

Cartier offers two distinct versions, a traditional revival in yellow gold, rose gold and platinum, staying true to the 1928 model with hours at 12 o’clock and trailing minutes at 6 o’clock.

And, a fresh take with an avant-garde platinum edition, limited to 200 pieces with asymmetrically placed apertures inspired by the 1930s.

Along with three models with traditional design language, the version that sparks the most amount of attention, limited to 200 pieces, reimagines the Tank à Guichets with a bold geometric twist. Instead of a traditional vertical alignment, the time display is rotated 90 degrees, creating a striking visual effect. The hour and minute apertures are positioned at 10 and 4 o’clock, a nod to Cartier’s 1930s designs.

Cartier Panthère Jewellery Watch

Cartier has unleashed its wild side at Watches and Wonders 2025 with the Cartier Panthère Jewellery Watch collection, where timekeeping meets high jewelry in a fierce, feline embrace. As one of the most astonishing Watches and Wonders new releases, this masterpiece embodies Cartier’s legendary craftsmanship, transforming gold and gemstones into a sculptural expression of power and elegance. These two new models—one in yellow gold with black lacquer, the other in white gold with diamonds—redefine luxury with a sculptural twist.

Duality in Motion

This creation fuses watchmaking with high jewelry, drawing on Cartier’s rich legacy through two defining elements: a striking three-dimensional panther and the iconic “Toi & Moi” bracelet design. It’s a seamless blend of the Maison’s heritage, where the panther’s bold presence meets the timeless elegance of a dual-sided timepiece, embodying both artistry and tradition in one captivating piece.

The Two Faces of the Panthère

The Yellow Gold Panthère Jewellery Watch dazzles with its polished yellow gold finish, accentuating the panther’s form with black lacquer spots and tsavorite eyes that gleam with intensity. The design plays on striking contrasts, pairing a bold black lacquer dial with a diamond-pavé bezel that adds a touch of brilliance. A single diamond at 12 o’clock serves as the hour marker, elevating the watch’s elegance. This piece, with its seamless “Toi & Moi” bracelet, blends Cartier’s jewelry mastery with horological finesse, creating a luxurious statement for the wrist.

A true jewelry masterpiece, the Cartier Panthère Jewellery Watch in white gold gleams with 1100 diamonds, a result of 270 hours of meticulous craftsmanship. Cartier’s signature fur setting—a savoir-faire technique—folds white gold around onyx to mimic delicate hairs, lending lifelike realism to the panther’s form. Diamonds dominate, from the fully pavé dial to the snow-set bracelet, creating a sparkling spectacle.

Tressage De Cartier
