Cartier’s Tank watch has inspired countless iterations since its introduction in 1917. In 1928, the maison released its first Tank à Guichets, which takes its name from the French word for ticket window. At the time, the design was an innovative take—technically, it’s a digital watch—which allowed wearers to read the time even faster, thanks to one aperture displaying a jumping hour and another with a dragging minutes counter.
It’s been revived for 2025 in two editions with manual wind movements. This one, in a platinum case, positions the hours at 10 o’clock and the minutes at 4 o’clock. It’s a literal slant from the other models released this year, and is available in a limited edition of just 200 pieces.
Case Size: 37.6 x 24.8 mm
Case Material: Platinum
Strap: Black Alligator
Price: Limited to 200, $61,000
