For the 2023 edition of Cartier Prive, the Maison returned to the Tank Normale, the original expression of the Tank conceived by Louis Cartier in 1917. This platinum skeleton interpretation takes that familiar geometry in an altogether more technical direction, retaining the compact proportions of the historic design while allowing the movement itself to become the dial.
At its center is the manually wound calibre 9628 MC, developed specifically for the Tank Normale Skeleton. Its openworked architecture incorporates a 24-hour indication, with a stylized sun and crescent moon traveling around the movement to distinguish day from night. Polished blued-steel sword hands provide a striking contrast against the monochromatic movement, while a ruby-set crown offers a discreet point of color.
The 35.2 x 27.8mm case is executed entirely in platinum, its strong horizontal geometry and restrained proportions providing an elegant frame for the complexity within. A sapphire caseback reveals the reverse of the skeletonized movement, reinforcing the unusually architectural character of the watch.
Produced as a numbered edition of just 50 pieces, the platinum WHTA0020 represents one of the more compelling modern interpretations of the Tank: unmistakably rooted in Cartiers earliest wristwatch design, yet executed with the technical and aesthetic experimentation that has come to define the Cartier Prive collection.
