At the 2025 Watches & Wonders Geneva fair, Cartier unveiled a faithful reinterpretation of one of its most historic timepieces—the Privé Tank à Guichets. Inspired by the brand’s first jump-hour wristwatch from 1928, this new edition fuses minimalist design with mechanical sophistication, while its subtly asymmetrical layout adds a touch of playful modernity.
The platinum case measures 37.6 × 24.8 mm and is only 6 mm thick. Despite the use of precious metal, the watch remains remarkably light and comfortable on the wrist. The case features a satin-brushed finish on its top surfaces, while the parallel lugs and case sides are mirror-polished, creating an elegant contrast between matte and glossy textures. A hidden crown is positioned discreetly at 12 o’clock.
The minimalist dial displays two asymmetric apertures: a jumping-hour window at 10 o’clock—its proportions echoing the rectangular silhouette of the case—and a fan-shaped minute disc at 4 o’clock, whose center aligns precisely with the dial’s midpoint. The apparent simplicity of this geometric arrangement conceals a highly refined and carefully balanced design, resulting in a pure and architectural aesthetic.
Inside beats the newly developed Calibre 9755 MC manual-winding movement, integrating both a digital jump-hour and rotating-disc minute mechanism. The watch is fitted with a black alligator leather strap and is limited to 200 pieces.
