Cartier
Tank à Guichets
A Tank without a face — jumping hour at the top, dragging minute at the bottom, brushed rose gold across the rest. From the Cartier Privé collection.
On this piece
The Tank à Guichets dates to 1928 — Cartier's first major variation on Louis Cartier's 1922 Tank, with the conventional dial replaced by two apertures that show only the digits needed. The reference re-emerged in 1996 as a 150-piece platinum limited edition, then again in 2025 within the Cartier Privé collection. The WGTA0235 is the rose-gold Privé reference, hand-finished with brushed flanks and polished brancards, powered by Cartier's hand-wound calibre 9755 MC. The watch reads as nothing else in production — there is no dial to look at, only the time itself.
