Cartier demonstrates this once again with the Tank Cintrée watch, a platinum re-edition of the first Tank Cintrée presented in 1921. After the Pasha Perpetual Calendar, the Tank Cintrée in yellow gold, and the Pebble, this limited and numbered 150- piece limited edition is the fourth to be added to the Rééditions line for collectors launched by Cartier in 2021. There’s no question of modifying the essential characteristics of the original Tank Cintrée: the camber and slenderness of its case that elegantly adjusts to the wrist are still there, yet it has been remarkably slimmed down to just 6.03mm. This slender frame is made possible by hand-wound Caliber 9780 MC, powering displays on a dial loyal to the Maison’s watchmaking codes. An eggshell white color, open-tipped blued hands, a railway type minutes track… It’s all there, enhanced by a cabochon-cut ruby set in the crown as the ultimate touch of refinement.
The editorial team was impressed by the combination of platinum and ruby endows this re-edition with an increasingly rare and precious aura.
