The Cartier Privé Tank à Guichets CRWGTA0236 in platinum revives a 1928 icon with a digital time display, jumping hour caliber 9755 MC, and a burgundy alligator strap.
Cartier Privé is an exclusive collection dedicated to reviving some of the Maison’s most iconic and rare historical timepieces. Designed for true watch connoisseurs, Cartier Privé timepieces are produced in limited numbers, maintaining their exclusivity and prestige. Each year, Cartier selects a legendary design from its archives and reinterprets it with modern craftsmanship while preserving its timeless essence.
Previous Privé collections have featured models like the Crash, Tank Cintrée, Tonneau, Cloche, Tank Asymétrique, and Tortue—all paying homage to Cartier’s revolutionary watchmaking heritage. In Watches & Wonders 2025, Cartier has unveiled yet another remarkable revival—the Cartier Privé Tank à Guichets, bringing back a futuristic and daring design first introduced in 1928.
The Cartier Privé Tank à Guichets CRWGTA0236 is an exceptional reinterpretation of a groundbreaking concept from 1928, where time is displayed digitally through small apertures instead of traditional hands. This unique approach was highly futuristic for its time and remains one of the most distinctive executions in watchmaking history.
Instead of a conventional dial, the watch features a brushed platinum face with two small windows—one for jumping hours at 12 o’clock and another for trailing minutes at 6 o’clock. The absence of hands and markers creates a minimalist aesthetic that is both sophisticated and avant-garde, making it an exquisite collector’s item.
Crafted from high-polish platinum, the Tank à Guichets WGTA0236 maintains the original Tank’s balanced proportions. The case measures 37.6mm x 24.8mm with a slim 6mm profile, delivering a streamlined, elegant look on the wrist.
The signature blue cabochon crown is subtly placed at 12 o’clock, in keeping with the 1928 original. This placement enhances the clean, architectural lines that define the Tank à Guichets silhouette.
At the heart of the Tank à Guichets WGTA0236 lies the manual-winding Caliber 9755 MC. Specially engineered for this model, it powers the jumping hour and dragging minutes display for smooth, instantaneous time transitions.
A rare example of mechanical innovation, this movement embodies Cartier’s enduring legacy in fine watchmaking.
A luxurious burgundy alligator leather strap perfectly complements the cool tone of the platinum case. Rich in texture and refined in design, the strap is secured with a platinum ardillon buckle, offering comfort and sophistication for everyday or formal wear.
The platinum Cartier Privé Tank à Guichets WGTA0236 is strictly limited to just 200 pieces worldwide, reinforcing its value as a collector’s dream. Each piece is a rare fusion of artistic heritage, technical innovation, and modern luxury.
With its digital aperture time display, historical roots, and cutting-edge movement, the Cartier Privé Tank à Guichets CRWGTA0236 is a symbol of exclusivity and creative ingenuity. It is the ultimate timepiece for collectors who appreciate rarity and sophistication.
