The case follows the classic lines of the original \u003ci\u003eTank \u003c\/i\u003efrom 1917, which was inspired by the \u003ci\u003eRenault \u003c\/i\u003etanks which Louis Cartier saw in use on the Western Front. The polished bezel features an arched shape, sloping down as it reaches the extremities of the case. It is secured in place by four screws on each corner, which give it a distinctive appearance, setting it apart from other designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe top portion of the lugs are also polished and gently slope towards, resulting in a rounded and elegant profile. The sides of the case are brushed, which also creates an interesting interplay of textures, with a sapphire cabochon bringing a touch of colour. The case measures 27mm by 31mm, with a lug to lug length of 39mm. This allows the watch to remain classic in appearance, whilst also being suited to contemporary tastes. At 8mm in thickness, it also manages to maintain some presence on the wrist and easily fits under the cuff of a shirt.

King Edward VII once described it as “the jeweller of kings, and the king of jewellers.” In 1904, the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont complained to his friend Louis Cartier about the impracticalities of using a pocket watch whilst flying. In response to this, Cartier designed the \u003ci\u003eSantos\u003c\/i\u003e, possibly one of the first wristwatches ever made. Since then, the French jeweller has left its mark on the world of horology, perpetually creating \u003ca title=\"Read our interview on Cartier with Harry Fane\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/blogs\/journal\/obsessions-cartier-with-harry-fane\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/blogs\/journal\/obsessions-cartier-with-harry-fane\"\u003eelegant, refined timepieces\u003c\/a\u003e, while remaining faithful to its core design principles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThroughout the 20th century, \u003ci\u003eCartier\u003c\/i\u003e’s global reach expanded, with branches in Paris, New York and London. With striking models ranging from the \u003ci\u003eBaignoire\u003c\/i\u003e to the \u003ci\u003eAsymétrique\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ca title=\"Read our article on the daring creations of Cartier London\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/blogs\/journal\/daring-creations-cartier-london\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/blogs\/journal\/daring-creations-cartier-london\"\u003eNew Bond Street branch in London\u003c\/a\u003e was arguably the most daring, adventurous and creative of all three. With the majority of its output dating from the period between 1966 to 1974, London was behind possibly one of \u003cem\u003eCartier\u003c\/em\u003e's boldest designs to date - the \u003ci\u003eCrash\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Crash \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAccording to rumours, the \u003ci\u003eCrash\u003c\/i\u003e was first born after a client brought in their wristwatch for repair, after it had partially melted in a fiery car crash. The French jeweller is said to have made a mould of the distorted case, using it as inspiration for this new design. Unfortunately, this story has since proven to be untrue, however appealing it might be. In fact, the piece was first imagined and sketched by Jean-Jacques Cartier and Rupert Emmerson, in 1967.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThough \u003ci\u003eCartier \u003c\/i\u003ehad played with different shapes before then, the \u003ci\u003eCrash \u003c\/i\u003ewas unlike anything the jeweller had ever produced. One of the very first models was sold to the British actor Stewart Granger, who was after something different. However, about after a week of use, he brought it back to the New Bond Street branch, because the design was too bold for his taste. The fact that the \u003cem\u003eCrash\u003c\/em\u003e remains so compelling and forward-thinking, decades later, speaks to the strength of the idea behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSince its inception, the \u003ci\u003eCrash \u003c\/i\u003ehas always been produced in limited numbers. From the ’60s onwards, it is estimated that no more than a few dozen left the London workshop. From 1991, the production of the model moved to Paris, with only around 400 pieces being made. More recently, in 2018, the New Bond Street branch also announced that they would be recreating the design once again, though only at a rate of one piece a month. A small handful of custom pieces were also created for the jeweller’s closest clients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBeyond these, one other interpretation of the \u003cem\u003eCrash\u003c\/em\u003e has pushed the non-conventional design to the extreme, the \u003ci\u003eMechanical Legends Crash Skeleton\u003c\/i\u003e. The only production \u003cem\u003eCrash\u003c\/em\u003e to deviate from the original design, it features an open-worked dial and movement, rendered in a slightly larger case, whilst respecting the overall proportions of the original. Only 67 pieces were made in rose gold, with 6 of these rumoured to have been set aside for \u003ci\u003eRichemont \u003c\/i\u003eexecutives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Daring Design\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eCrash Skeleton\u003c\/i\u003e is a contemporary take on the original \u003cem\u003eCrash\u003c\/em\u003e design from 1967.

Instead of just removing the dial to reveal parts, \u003cem\u003eCartier\u003c\/em\u003e chose to create the bridges of the movement in the shape of their classic Roman numerals, with the mechanics becoming an integral part of the design. The surface of the base plate is also gently curved, to complement to the shape of the case. The crystal is also rounded, enhancing the unique feel of the watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAll the flat surfaces of the movement are straight-brushed, with the angles being chamfered and mirror polished. The exposed screws hold the base plate in place, whilst also reinforcing the contemporary aesthetic. In many ways, the skeletonised version pushed the concept of the Crash to the extreme. It is a distortion of classic design, distorted further still. The ”Cartier” signature is discretely placed between 12 and 1 o’clock, in the same position as the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAbove this, the sword-hands are made out of blued steel, adding a nice touch of contrast to the watch. In typical \u003ci\u003eCartier\u003c\/i\u003e style, the case features a blue sapphire cabochon, set in the beaded crown. On the reverse of the caseback, the serial number is engraved in the “N. 1X\/67” format.

The case follows the classic lines of the original \u003ci\u003eTank \u003c\/i\u003efrom 1917, which was inspired by the \u003ci\u003eRenault \u003c\/i\u003etanks which Louis Cartier saw in use on the Western Front.

Despite being at a disadvantage because they produced rectangular watches, \u003cem\u003eCartier\u003c\/em\u003e still tried to join in with this effort. Rumours suggest that the Pasha de Marrakesh wanted a wristwatch that he could wear whilst in the pool, which led to the development of the \u003ca title=\"View this Tank Étanche\" href=\"https:\/\/www.phillips.com\/detail\/cartier\/CH080219\/126\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTank Étanche\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e in 1931.

This later design features the same distinct bezel construction as the vintage inspiration, with \u003ci\u003eCartier\u003c\/i\u003e also adding four visible screws on each corner. The \u003ci\u003eTank à Vis\u003c\/i\u003e was available in time-only, wandering hours and dual time versions, across a range of precious metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Classic Design \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis \u003ci\u003eTank à Vis\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cem\u003eDual Time\u003c\/em\u003e offers a classic case design, combined with a practical and visually striking complication. Maintaining the same case dimensions as the time-ony version, \u003cem\u003eCartier \u003c\/em\u003ecreated a single correction pin system, allowing the wearer to set two different time zones, displayed on separate dials. Th\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eis is perhaps one of the easiest and most intuitive dual time watches to set, with the process only taking a few seconds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe white gold case follows the classic lines of the original \u003ci\u003eTank \u003c\/i\u003efrom 1917, which was inspired by the \u003ci\u003eRenault \u003c\/i\u003etanks which Louis Cartier saw in use on the Western Front. The polished bezel features an arched shape, sloping down as it reaches the extremities of the case. It is secured in place by four screws on each corner, which give it a distinctive appearance, setting it apart from other designs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe top portion of the lugs are also polished and gently slope towards the edges, resulting in a rounded and elegant profile. The sides of the case are brushed, which also creates an interesting interplay of textures, with a sapphire cabochon bringing a touch of colour. The case measures 27mm by 31mm, with a lug to lug length of 39mm. This allows the watch to remain classic in appearance, whilst also being suited to contemporary tastes. At 8mm in thickness, it also manages to maintain some presence on the wrist and easily fits under the cuff of a shirt. This \u003ci\u003eTank à Vis Dual Time \u003c\/i\u003efeatures an open caseback, further highlighting the distinct characteristics found in the CPCP collection; a manually wound movement and \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003einterlaced “double C” pattern across the bridges.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAs is to be expected, the dial is signed “Cartier Paris” centrally in the dial, a nod to some pieces from the early 20th century, which had the city’s name inscribed below the brand. The dial is made out of 18 carat gold, featuring a central rose motif just beneath the hands, which radiates into a traditional guilloché. Evidence suggests that the inspiration for this central rose came from vintage \u003cem\u003eCartier\u003c\/em\u003e clocks, which often featured the distinctive decoration. The rail track and Roman numerals are stamped directly onto the dial in black ink, whilst the blued steel hands are executed in a legible sword shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Movement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis white gold \u003cem\u003eCartier \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTank à Vis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDual Time\u003c\/em\u003e is powered by the \u003cem\u003eCalibre \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9901 MC\u003c\/em\u003e, which is based on a \u003ci\u003ePiaget\u003c\/i\u003e ébauche. \u003ci\u003ePiaget\u003c\/i\u003e helped develop a range of calibres for the \u003ci\u003eCollection Privée Cartier Collection\u003c\/i\u003e, drawing on their mechanical expertise, notably in the field of ultra-thin movements.

Dumont 1575 | Platinum","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarking a significant time in the history of horology, the Cartier Santos-Dumont was one of the first pilot watches, and has endured through the years with its elegant, classic silhouette. This particular example features a platinum case, further enhancing its timeless, versatile appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Santos 1575\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe history of the Cartier Santos dates back to 1904, when Louis Cartier created a watch for his friend, the pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont. A Brazilian aeronaut and inventor, Dumont was the heir of a coffee company and contributed significantly to the development of the modern aeroplane. Finding it difficult to check his pocket watch while also trying to fly a plane, Dumont complained about this to Cartier, who then came up with a watch that could be strapped to one’s wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSince then, Cartier has created several iterations of the Santos, including the Santos Galbeé, in 1987, to the updated collection of Santos-Dumont watches, in 2018. This particular reference 1575 was created in the ‘90s, and is distinguished by its intricate guilloché dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Design \u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design of this Cartier Santos-Dumont 1575 is characterised by both utility and elegance. Encased in sleek platinum, the watch retains its roots as a tool watch with the inset screws on the surface of the case, while the ivory dial and crisp Roman numerals have become a hallmark of Cartier’s style. Taking a closer look will reveal a secret Cartier signature integrated into the seven o’clock marker. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case itself is composed of brushed platinum, while a polished bezel is layered on top, contrasting the two textures to hint at both function and sophistication. The dial of this Santos-Dumont 1575 also bears an intricate engine-turned pattern across the entire face, which is rarely found across iterations of the reference and provides an attractive visual depth to the surface of the watch. Furthermore, the hands are rendered in midnight blue, complementing the crown, which is set with a blue cabochon sapphire. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt also features a closed caseback, which is brushed.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAt 36mm in length and 27mm in width, the Santos-Dumont 1575 is a smaller watch that can be worn by both men and women, while its slim size - at 4mm - also allows the piece to sit comfortably on the wearer’s wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Movement\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Santos-Dumont 1575 is powered by the manual 021 MC movement, an ultra-thin movement that gives the watch its slim shape. The caliber is based on the Frédéric Piguet 21, is fitted with 18 jewels and has a 42-hour power reserve.

In the midst of this, Cartier aimed to reestablish its credibility as a true watchmaking manufacture. From 1998 to 2008, the Collection Privée Cartier Paris brought back some of the most iconic Cartier designs from the past century, from the Crash to the Tank Cintrée, combined with high quality mechanical movements. In many cases, these distinctive designs hadn’t been produced for decades, speaking to the jeweller’s desire to place an increased focus on its heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAs a series of mechanical watches based on historic Cartier designs, the Collection Privée Cartier Paris - or CPCP for short - showed watch connoisseurs what Cartier was capable of producing at a time when the brand was more known for producing quartz-based timepieces. Most models in the CPCP were designed for the men's market and were available between 1998 and 2008 in very limited numbers using mechanical movements from external suppliers, until the Fine Watchmaking Collection was introduced using movements developed in-house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6 style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Wandering Hours Complication\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is believed that the wandering hours complication was first used on a night clock designed for Pope Alexander XII in 1656 by the Campani brothers, a well-known family of clockmakers in Rome. The insomniac pope requested the ability to read time in the dark, so an oil lamp was placed inside the clock case, illuminating the dial and allowing him to read the time through the open-worked numerals. The concept was briefly translated to pocket watches but was supplanted by the two-hand method of displaying the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn modern times, the wandering hours complication was reinterpreted by a handful of watchmakers, including Cartier. With most wandering hour watches, a central disc displaying the hours rotates around the dial, while the minutes are shown on an accompanying arc. This Cartier reference 2554 puts its own spin on this classic complication, as the hours are shown through an aperture, with the minutes being indicated by a more traditional hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6 style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Design \u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe case follows the classic lines of the original Tank from 1917, which was inspired by the Renault tanks which Louis Cartier saw in use on the Western Front. The polished bezel features an arched shape, sloping down as it reaches the extremities of the case. It is secured in place by four screws on each corner, which give it a distinctive appearance, setting it apart from other designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe top portion of the lugs are also polished and gently slope towards, resulting in a rounded and elegant profile. The sides of the case are brushed, which also creates an interesting interplay of textures, with a sapphire cabochon bringing a touch of colour. The case measures 28mm by 32mm, with a lug to lug length of 40mm. This allows the watch to remain classic in appearance, whilst also being suited to contemporary tastes. At 8mm in thickness, it also manages to maintain some presence on the wrist and easily fits under the cuff of a shirt. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silver dial of this reference 2554 features a central rose pattern that radiates into a more traditional guilloché pattern. Evidence suggests that the inspiration for this central rose came from vintage Cartier clocks, which often featured the distinctive decoration. The dial also displays painted Arabic numerals, a blued steel minute hand, and two separate, semi-curved hour and date discs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnusually, the date disc at the six o'clock position uses a vertically stacked system - read top to bottom - instead of the more commonly found date disc, which reads left to right. Each number alternates from black to grey, adding some variety to the numerals. Meanwhile, a rectangular railroad track style decoration runs around the center of the watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Movement\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reference 2554 is powered by the calibre 9902 MC, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ewhich is based on a Piaget ébauche. Piaget helped develop a range of calibres for the Collection Privée Cartier Collection, drawing on their mechanical expertise, notably in the field of ultra-thin movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement is visible through a sapphire caseback, which is decorated with engravings and polished to a very high standard.The calibre 9902 features 24 jewels and notably, a blued-steel adjustment index, the entirety of which is finished with bevelling and anglage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Set\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eT\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCartier \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTank À Vis Ref. 2554 is accompanied by its original white gold deployant buckle and red leather alligator Cartier strap.

In the midst of this, Cartier aimed to reestablish its credibility as a true watchmaking manufacture. From 1998 to 2008, the Collection Privée Cartier Paris brought back some of the most iconic Cartier designs from the past century, from the Tortue to the Tank Cintrée, combined with high quality mechanical movements. In many cases, these distinctive designs hadn’t been produced for decades, speaking to the jeweller’s desire to place an increased focus on its heritage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a series of mechanical watches based on historic Cartier designs, the Collection Privée Cartier Paris - or CPCP for short - showed watch connoisseurs what Cartier was capable of producing at a time when the brand was more known for producing quartz-based timepieces. Most models in the CPCP were designed for the men's market and were available between 1998 and 2008 in very limited numbers using mechanical movements from external suppliers, until the Fine Watchmaking Collection was introduced using movements developed in-house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the Collection Privée Cartier Paris watches feature small, distinctive details, intended to set them apart. With the exception of the Cintrée, all of them are signed “Cartier Paris” on the dial, a subtle nod to their vintage pieces. They also display a central rose motif just beneath the hands, which radiates into a classic guilloché. Even the subtle engravings on the caseback are reminiscent of what they used to do in the early 20th century. As for the manual-winding movements, these were finished in-house by Cartier, with their interlaced “double C” pattern appearing across the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eA product of collaboration\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFirst launched in 1912, the Tortue was the third wristwatch ever designed by Cartier, surprisingly predating the Tank by a handful of years. Inspired by the shape of a tortoiseshell, it was initially introduced as a time-only piece, though the French jeweller rapidly ventured into creating more complicated versions of the design. This Monopoussoir was introduced in 1998, in the year that the Collection Privée was launched. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA reference point in the history of modern watchmaking, the Calibre 045MC that powers the Tortue Monopoussoir was produced by THA Èbauche.

With this illustrious collection of watchmakers involved, there is little surprise that the Calibre 045MC is both technically and visually impressive. Reminiscing on the collaboration during a recent interview, Dennis Flageollet said,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\"We were young, we had no doubts and we created incredible objects together that would be difficult to make today.\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHaving worked closely with the jeweller on some other projects, the watchmakers suggested the project to Cartier, on the basis of re-creating a monopusher chronograph from the 1920s. According to Flageollet, the heads of product at Cartier at the time did not have extensive knowledge of their heritage, yet the watchmakers behind THA Èbauche felt compelled to realise the project. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Design\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis configuration of the Monopoussoir is understood to be the earliest one introduced by Cartier, hence its more classic case size and metal, as well as the traditional design of the dial. Amongst all the pieces produced by Cartier, it most closely resembles the original design, from the early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eIt has two sub-dials, the first showing the watches running seconds, whilst the other is used as a 30 minute chronograph timer. A railroad minute track surrounds the outer section of the dial, which echoes the design of the subdial borders and provides a contrast to the white guilloché dial. The subdials, outer minute track and Breguet-style Roman numerals are rendered in dark black ink, whilst the blued steel hands add a touch of colour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs is to be expected, the dial is signed “Cartier Paris” at 12 o’clock, a nod to some pieces from the early 20th century, which had the city’s name inscribed below the brand. The dial is made out of 18 carat gold, featuring a central rose motif just beneath the hands, which radiates into a traditional guilloché. Evidence suggests that the inspiration for this central rose came from vintage Cartier clocks, which often featured the distinctive decoration. The rail track and Roman numerals are stamped directly onto the dial in black ink, whilst the blued steel hands are executed in a legible Breguet-styled shape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe two part Tortue case has elegant, curved lines, with polished surfaces found throughout. It measures 34mm by 33mm, with a lug to lug length of 43mm. This allows the watch to remain classic in appearance, whilst also being suited to contemporary tastes. At 10mm in thickness, it also manages to maintain some presence on the wrist and easily fits under the cuff of a shirt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Movement\u003c\/h6\u003e\nThis reference 2356 is powered by the calibre 045MC, a movement developed by F.P. Journe, Denis Flageollet, and Vianney Halter as part of THA Èbauche, a collaborative movement manufacture. The calibre 045MC has a lever escapement and the balance beats at 21,600 A\/h. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing a clutch system, the motion of the second wheel of the base movement to the chronograph’s central wheel in the Calibre 045MC is activated by a double swivel pin, removing the ‘jolt’ of the seconds hand that often takes place in chronographs operated by a lateral clutch. The resulting smooth operation of the hand gliding across the dial is as beautiful as the movement itself, finished to with bevelling and anglage, which is visible through an ellipse sapphire exhibition case back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Set\u003c\/h6\u003e\nThis \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMonopoussoir Ref. 2356 is accompanied by a \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ebespoke taupe grained leather strap, along with the original red alligator Cartier strap and corresponding yellow gold deployant buckle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIf sold within the United Kingdom, this \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMonopoussoir Ref. 2356 will be subject to 20% VAT.

With the exception of the Cintrée, all of them are signed “Cartier Paris” on the dial, a subtle nod to their vintage pieces. They also display a central rose motif just beneath the hands, which radiates into a classic guilloché. Even the subtle engravings on the caseback are reminiscent of what they used to do in the early 20th century. As for the manual-winding movements, these were finished in-house by Cartier, with their interlaced “double C” pattern appearing across the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eDespite the brand’s global reach at the time, the Collection Privée models were produced in small quantities, with many explicitly limited to 50, 100 or 150 pieces. As for those that weren’t marked as part of a numbered series, evidence suggests that production often remained between 200 to 500 pieces. Eventually, partially due to difficulties and delays in getting parts from their various suppliers, the CPCP program came to an end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eA Product of Collaboration\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated by Louis Cartier in 1912, the Tortue was only Cartier’s third wristwatch design, after the Santos Dumont and Tonneau.

According to Flageollet, the heads of product at Cartier at the time did not have extensive knowledge of their heritage, yet the watchmakers behind THA Èbauche felt compelled to realise the project. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eA Contemporary Design\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed only for the various Cartier Tortue Monopoussoir models, the Tank Monopoussoir and De Bethune Monopoussoir, the Calibre 045MC uses a lever escapement. With a clutch system, the motion of the second wheel to the chronograph’s central wheel is activated by a double swivel pin, removing the \"jolt\" of the second hand which often occurs in chronographs operated by a lateral clutch. The resulting operation allows the hand to smoothly glide across the dial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeneath the curved crystal, a modern-style guilloché dial replaces the design of the original model from the 1920s, with the blued steel Breguet style hands and matching inky-blue minute track. An oversized \"XII\" numeral sits at 12 o'clock, with its dramatic proportions imbuing the design with a more contemporary feel. This is balanced by the \"Cartier Paris\" signature at 6 o'clock, which is also rendered in the same blue tone. Overall, the dial design blends the best of vintage Cartier, with bolder colours and proportions, combining the past and the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe white case measures 43 x 35mm, with a thickness of 10mm.

Its elongated rectangular case and elegant curves quickly became a classic, having been adopted by Fred Astaire, Steve McQueen and Ralph Lauren, to name just a few. Vintage examples of the Tank Cintrée were made in extremely limited numbers, and examples that remain in original condition come up for public sale infrequently, making them as elusive, as they are attractive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eIn the last decade of the 20th century, the industry was still recovering from the impact of the quartz crisis, with consumers just starting to redevelop an interest in mechanical watches. In the midst of this, Cartier aimed to reestablish its credibility as a true watchmaking manufacture. From 1998 to 2008, the Collection Privée Cartier Paris brought back some of the most iconic Cartier designs from the past century, from the Crash to the Tank Cintrée, combined with high quality mechanical movements. In many cases, these distinctive designs hadn’t been produced for decades, speaking to the jeweller’s desire to place an increased focus on its heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAs a series of mechanical watches based on historic Cartier designs, the Collection Privée Cartier Paris - or CPCP for short - showed watch connoisseurs what Cartier was capable of producing at a time when the brand was more known for producing quartz-based timepieces. Most models in the CPCP were designed for the men's market and were available between 1998 and 2008 in very limited numbers using mechanical movements from external suppliers, until the Fine Watchmaking Collection was introduced using movements developed in-house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Contemporary Design \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Cartier Tank Cintrée Dual Time is part of a 100-piece, limited-edition series created for the Asian market in 2004. The first dial displays a pared-back design, only displaying Roman numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. The second dial is similarly constructed, with Chinese characters in the respective sections. Both dials are enclosed within a printed, open black bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach respective dial features a central rose motif just beneath the hands, which radiates into a traditional guilloché. Evidence suggests that the inspiration for this central rose came from vintage Cartier clocks, which often featured the distinctive decoration. The minimalist rail track and numerals are both stamped in black, while the hands are rendered in slightly different shades of blue – the dial with Roman numerals being lighter, while the hands on the Chinese numeral dial are in a darker tone, providing a pleasant contrast to the otherwise monochromatic dial. The crown features two sapphire cabochons, a nod to the brand’s roots as a jeweller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCased in rose gold, this Cintrée Dual Time is both elongated and noticeably curved. Measuring 46mm long and 23mm wide, this piece shares the same dimensions as the original Tank Cintrée watch from 1921, giving it a truly vintage feel. At just 8mm thick, it serves as an elegant dress watch, fitting perfectly beneath the cuff. Overall, the design is more angular than that found on previous Cintrée watches, which is most obvious when looking at the lugs and crowns. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Movement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt is understood that this Cartier Cintrée Dual Time is powered by two separate ETA 2412 calibres.

In the midst of this, Cartier aimed to reestablish its credibility as a true watchmaking manufacture. From 1998 to 2008, the Collection Privée Cartier Paris brought back some of the most iconic Cartier designs from the past century, from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/blogs\/journal\/daring-creations-cartier-london\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/blogs\/journal\/daring-creations-cartier-london\"\u003eCrash\u003c\/a\u003e to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/blogs\/journal\/100-years-cartier-tank-cintree\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/blogs\/journal\/100-years-cartier-tank-cintree\"\u003eTank Cintrée\u003c\/a\u003e, combined with high quality mechanical movements.

With the exception of the Cintrée, all of them are signed “Cartier Paris” on the dial, a subtle nod to their vintage pieces. They also display a central rose motif just beneath the hands, which radiates into a classic guilloché. Even the subtle engravings on the caseback are reminiscent of what they used to do in the early 20th century. As for the movements, these were finished in-house by Cartier, with their interlaced “double C” pattern appearing across the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the brand’s global reach at the time, the Collection Privée models were produced in small quantities, with many explicitly limited to 50, 100 or 150 pieces. As for those that weren’t marked as part of a numbered series, evidence suggests that production often remained between 200 to 500 pieces. Eventually, partially due to difficulties and delays in getting parts from their various suppliers, the CPCP program came to an end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Tortue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFirst launched in 1912, the Tortue was the third wristwatch ever designed by Cartier, surprisingly predating the Tank by a handful of years. Inspired by the shape of a tortoiseshell, it was initially introduced as a time-only piece, though the French jeweller rapidly ventured into creating more complicated versions of the design, such as a minute repeater or a monopusher chronograph, both of which were unusual for the early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eYears later, the Tortue design became a core pillar of the Collection Privée Cartier Paris. In fact, the Tortue was the best-selling Collection Privée model in 1999, 2000, 2003, 2004 and 2005 – half the time the range was available.

Meanwhile, the heat-blued, Breguet-style hands provide a touch of colour to the otherwise monochromatic dial, simultaneously improving legibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA running rail track and Roman numerals are stamped directly onto the dial in black ink, adapting to the shape of the case. As is typical of pieces from the CPCP collection, the dial is signed “Cartier Paris” at 12 o’clock, a nod to some pieces from the early 20th century, where the city’s name was inscribed just below the brand. A secret signature can also be seen hidden within the 7 o’clock index marker, which can be found on most Cartier pieces. At a width of 37mm, this classic piece manages to hold its own as a modern-sized watch which is suited to contemporary tastes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Movement \u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured and assembled at the Cartier manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the calibre 9601 MC is a manually wound movement that is fitted with 20 jewels and has a 40-hour power reserve.

The elongated Roman numerals on the dial, as well as the thick brancards that enclose either side of the dial are classic hallmarks of the Cintrée design, emphasising the curved geometry of the case while allowing it to retain its Tank origins. Only 150 of these pieces were ever made, continuing the tradition of only ever producing the Cintrée in limited quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design of the Cintrée was undoubtedly influenced by the era in which it was born, the Roaring Twenties. This is evident in the dramatic lines of the Cintrée, which captured the glamour and exuberance of the time, coupled with an embracing of Art Deco design principles. Supposedly invented in an attempt to convert wristwatch sceptics of the period, the curved case felt distinctly more comfortable and natural to wear compared to the other round and square designs. This particular variant was released in 2021 and is perhaps the most faithful reproduction of the original design, from a century earlier, from the thin profile to the unadorned eggshell dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is powered by the 9780 MC, an ultra-thin calibre based off an ébauche, the JLC 849. This is a connection that has historical parallels, as the calibre 123 used in the original 1921 Tank Cintrée was produced by Jaeger, thanks to the special relationship that Edmund Jaeger had with Louis Cartier. It is said that the extreme curve of the Cintrée was only made possible thanks to Jaeger developing an especially thin rectangular movement that could fit inside of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf sold within the United Kingdom, this Cartier Tank Cintrée 100th Anniversary will be subject to 20% VAT.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCartier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eTank Cintrée 100\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Anniversary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCalibre 9780MC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eHours, minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCase material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eYellow gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCase diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e46mm x 23mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eSapphire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eStrap:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCartier tan leather strap, yellow gold buckle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20.5417px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20.5417px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20.5417px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20.5417px;\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20.5417px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20.5417px;\"\u003e2021 (sold in 2022)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20.5417px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20.5417px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20.5417px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20.5417px;\"\u003eLug width:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20.5417px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20.5417px;\"\u003e16mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eOuter box, inner box, warranty card, manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Cartier Cintrée is in excellent condition overall, with no signs of wear to the case and trap.

It is powered by the calibre 045MC, a creation of THA ébauche, a movement manufacture that was co-founded by F.P. Journe and played a pivotal role in the early careers of independent watchmakers Denis Flageollet and Vianney Halter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a series of mechanical watches based on historic Cartier designs, the Collection Privée Cartier Paris - CPCP for short - showed collectors what Cartier could produce at a time when the brand was more known for their quartz-based timepieces. Most models in the CPCP were available between 1998 and 2008 in very limited numbers using mechanical movements from external suppliers, until the Fine Watchmaking Collection was introduced using movements developed in-house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the CPCP watches feature small, distinctive details, intended to set them apart. All bar the Cintrée are signed “Cartier Paris” on the dial, a subtle nod to the brand’s vintage pieces. They also display a central rose motif just beneath the hands, which radiates into a classic guilloché pattern. Even the subtle engravings on the caseback are reminiscent of what they used to do in the early 20th century. As for the manual-winding movements, these were finished in-house by Cartier, with their interlaced “double C” pattern appearing across the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial on this Cartier Tank Monopoussoir reference 2846 is particularly faithful to the original version of the watch, staying true to the configuration of a circular dial housed within a square case. The tank case that houses this dial is much rarer than any of the Tortue cases, which possess a similar dial. Architecturally, the construction of the case is particularly impressive, displaying the French jeweller’s skill in assembling impressive designs. Thanks to the short lugs on the piece, it wears extremely comfortably on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly 100 pieces of the Tank Monopoussoir were made in rose gold, which is confirmed by the engraving on the caseback of the watch. Further to this, the watch is in virtually \"new old stock\" condition, having only ever been worn a handful of times by the original owner. Within the watch, the Calibre 045MC makes use of a lever escapement. With a clutch system, the motion of the second wheel to the chronograph’s central wheel is activated by a double swivel pin, removing the \"jolt\" of the second hand which often occurs in chronographs operated by a lateral clutch. The resulting operation allows the hand to smoothly glide across the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCartier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCollection Privée Cartier Paris Monopoussoir - Limited Edition of 100 pieces Ref.

This limited-edition piece features a subtle salmon dial complemented by a platinum case, combining vintage and modern aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1994, this Cartier Santos-Dumont limited edition marked the 90th anniversary of the model. A popular legend suggests that the original watch was created for the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont by Louis Cartier, as a practical solution to the problem of trying to use a pocket watch while flying. The 90th anniversary model was limited to 90 pieces, with all the watches being individually numbered on the brushed caseback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is distinguished by its warm-toned salmon dial, highlighting its vintage roots. Notably, the contrast between this orange hue and the white metal case is rarely found in other Cartier pieces. While the brand may be more experimental with their case designs, they have traditionally remained fairly conventional with their dial colouring, preferring neutral tones, making this salmon all the more unusual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther hallmarks of Cartier’s customary design cues are also present, such as the crisp black Roman numerals with their familiar slant, a sapphire cabochon set in the crown, and blued Breguet-style hands.

Despite being at a disadvantage because they produced rectangular watches, Cartier still tried to join in with this effort. Rumours suggest that the Pasha of Marrakesh wanted a wristwatch that he could wear whilst in the pool, which led to the development of the Tank Étanche in 1931. Thanks to its ingenious case design, tightly secured by screws, it was waterproof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tank Étanche served as inspiration for the Tank à Vis, which was later introduced as part of the Collection Privée Cartier Paris in 2005.

This is balanced by the \"Cartier Paris\" signature at 6 o'clock, which is also rendered in the same blue tone.

The Tank Cintrée was itself launched two years later, developing on the design traits of the original. Its elongated rectangular case and elegant curves quickly became a classic, having been adopted by Fred Astaire, Steve McQueen and Ralph Lauren, to name just a few. Vintage examples of the Tank Cintrée were made in extremely limited numbers, and examples that remain in original condition come up for public sale infrequently, making them as elusive, as they are attractive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in the 1990s, this Tank Cintrée Dual Time is part of Cartier’s push to bring back some of the most iconic Cartier designs from the past century, combined with mechanical movements. In many cases, these distinctive designs hadn’t been produced for decades, speaking to the jeweller’s desire to place an increased focus on its heritage. Combining the classic, curved lines of the Cintrée with a contemporary complication, this Tank Cintrée Dual Time is perhaps one of the most inventive pieces from this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece presents a distinctive take on the dual time complication, with two dials sitting on top of one another, powered by two independent movements. Both dials have their own distinct aesthetics, with a more classically styled dial at the top, featuring Cartier’s typical slanted Roman numerals around the face, while the bottom dial is notably more pared-back. The dial features the Cartier signature in the middle, with ‘Paris’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCased in white gold, this Cartier Cintrée Dual Time both elongated and noticeably curved, fitting comfortably underneath the cuff and hugging the wrist.

It is powered by the calibre 045MC, a creation of THA ébauche, a movement manufacture that was co-founded by F.P. Journe and played a pivotal role in the early careers of independent watchmakers Denis Flageollet and Vianney Halter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a series of mechanical watches based on historic Cartier designs, the Collection Privée Cartier Paris - CPCP for short - showed collectors what Cartier could produce at a time when the brand was more known for their quartz-based timepieces. Most models in the CPCP were available between 1998 and 2008 in very limited numbers using mechanical movements from external suppliers, until the Fine Watchmaking Collection was introduced using movements developed in-house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the CPCP watches feature small, distinctive details, intended to set them apart. All bar the Cintrée are signed “Cartier Paris” on the dial, a subtle nod to the brand’s vintage pieces. They also display a central rose motif just beneath the hands, which radiates into a classic guilloché pattern. Even the subtle engravings on the caseback are reminiscent of what they used to do in the early 20th century. As for the manual-winding movements, these were finished in-house by Cartier, with their interlaced “double C” pattern appearing across the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial on this Cartier Tank Monopoussoir reference 2846 is particularly faithful to the original version of the watch, staying true to the configuration of a circular dial housed within a square case. The tank case that houses this dial is much rarer than any of the Tortue cases, which possess a similar dial. Architecturally, the construction of the case is particularly impressive, displaying the French jeweller’s skill in assembling impressive designs. Thanks to the short lugs on the piece, it wears extremely comfortably on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in 2008, only 100 pieces of the Tank Monopoussoir were made in white gold, following the success of the rose gold version released earlier, in 2007. This piece is numbered “007”. Within the watch, the Calibre 045MC makes use of a lever escapement. With a clutch system, the motion of the second wheel to the chronograph’s central wheel is activated by a double swivel pin, removing the \"jolt\" of the second hand which often occurs in chronographs operated by a lateral clutch. The resulting operation allows the hand to smoothly glide across the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCartier\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCollection Privée Cartier Paris Monopoussoir Ref. 2846- Limited Edition of 100 pieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eManual winding 045MC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMonopusher chronograph, hours, minutes, seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eWhite gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e33 x 42mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eSapphire front\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eStrap:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eGrey strap from our own collection, Cartier black alligator strap, white gold deployant clasp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eLug Width:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ec. 2009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e -\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Cartier Tank Monopusher is in good condition overall.

A popular legend suggests that the original watch was created for the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont by Louis Cartier, as a practical solution to the problem of trying to use a pocket watch while flying. The 90th anniversary model was limited to 90 pieces, with all the watches being individually numbered on the brushed case back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is distinguished by its warm-toned salmon dial, highlighting its vintage roots. Notably, the contrast between this orange hue and the platinum case is rarely found in other Cartier pieces. While the brand may be more experimental with their case designs, they have traditionally erred on the more conventional side with their dial colours, preferring neutral tones, making this salmon shade all the more unusual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther hallmarks of Cartier’s customary design cues are also present, such as the crisp black Roman numerals with their familiar slant, a sapphire cabochon set in the crown, and blued Breguet-style hands. The platinum case holds true to the original aesthetic, with a robust look that is reinforced by exposed screws on the polished bezel, a detail that was supposedly modelled after the Eiffel Tower. The watch is powered by an ultra-thin Piguet calibre 21, allowing it to retain a slim profile, which in turn enhances its wearability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCartier\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eSantos Dumont 90th Anniversary Limited Edition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eManual-winding Frederic Piguet calibre 21\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eHours, minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eLimited Edition of 90 pieces, salmon dial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ePlatinum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e27x36mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eSapphire front\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eStrap:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eNavy saffiano strap, Brown suede strap, Brown leather strap, Blue alligator Cartier strap, Cartier screws and deployant clasp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eLug Width:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e17mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e1995 (sold)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eOuter box, Inner box, Certificate and Guarantee papers, User manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Cartier Santos 90th anniversary Is in good condition throughout.

Most models in the CPCP were available between 1998 and 2008 in very limited numbers using mechanical movements from external suppliers, until the Fine Watchmaking Collection was introduced using movements developed in-house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the CPCP watches feature small, distinctive details, intended to set them apart. All bar the Cintrée are signed “Cartier Paris” on the dial, a subtle nod to the brand’s vintage pieces. They also display a central rose motif just beneath the hands, which radiates into a classic guilloché pattern. Even the subtle engravings on the caseback are reminiscent of what they used to do in the early 20th century. As for the manual-winding movements, these were finished in-house by Cartier, with their interlaced “double C” pattern appearing across the collection and which can be seen through the sapphire caseback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tank à Vis was inspired by the Tank Etanche, which was developed in 1931 and distinguished by a screw-down, waterproof case. The later Tank à Vis design features the same bezel construction as its vintage inspiration, with four visible screws added to each corner of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather interestingly, the Tank à Vis represents Cartier’s foray into unusual complications during the CPCP period, and was available in time-only, dual-time, and wandering hours versions. With this dual-time version, the dials are powered by the same movement and set through a single crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Cartier Tank à Vis reference 2551 is powered by the calibre 9901MC, a movement which is based on a Piaget ébauche.

With its unmistakable DNA and Cartier’s timeless style, the model's tortoise-inspired case quickly became a classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeneath the curved crystal, a modern-style guilloché dial replaces the design of the original model from the 1920s, with the blued steel Breguet style hands and matching inky-blue minute track. An oversized \"XII\" numeral sits at 12 o'clock, with its dramatic proportions imbuing the design with a more contemporary feel. This is balanced by the \"Cartier Paris\" signature at 6 o'clock, which is also rendered in the same blue tone. Overall, the dial design blends the best of vintage Cartier, with bolder colours and proportions, combining the past and the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Monopoussoir has a long and storied history at Cartier, with examples of the Tortue and Tank versions appearing in 1928 and 1935 respectively. During this time, Cartier worked closely with Jaeger to develop the movements behind these complicated timepieces. Years later, as part of the Collection Privée, Cartier collaborated with a group of talented watchmakers to bring it back to life. Flageollet and Journe worked on the project together, before Halter had joined THA Ébauche. Rather amusingly, Flageollet claims that it was the watchmakers who suggested to Cartier that they should recreate the design, as the people in charge at the time did not have an extensive knowledge of their archives or heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Cartier Tortue Monopoussoir makes use of the calibre 045MC, which uses a lever escapement, and can only be found in the various Tortue Monopoussoir made by Cartier, in addition to the Tank Monopoussoir and De Bethune Monopoussoir. With a clutch system, the motion of the second wheel to the chronograph’s central wheel is activated by a double swivel pin, removing the \"jolt\" of the seconds hand which often occurs in chronographs operated by a lateral clutch. The resulting operation allows the hand to smoothly glide across the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCartier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eTortue Monopoussoir\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003emanual-winding calibre 045MC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003echronograph functions, hours, minutes, sub-seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eguilloché dial, display back, blue steel hands, sapphire cabochon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ewhite gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e34 x 44 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003esapphire front \u0026amp; back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eStrap:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e\n\u003ca title=\"Watch strap | Emerald Green Calf Skin Leather Strap | A Collected Man\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/products\/dublin-green-watch-strap\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eemerald green calfskin strap\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e from our collection, Cartier red alligator strap, Cartier white gold deployant clasp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eLug Width:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e18x18mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eC. 2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eCondition\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Cartier Tortue Monopoussoir is in very good condition overall.

Instantly recognisable from its curved design and elongated shape, the Tank Cintrée wraps comfortably around the wrist and a great deal of diversity can be found in the model, ranging from font, size of numerals, thickness of case, or even the style of screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the spirit of this diversity, this Tank Cintrèe is a watch that was created through the Cartier special order program.

This is complemented by a ruby cabochon fitted into the crown. The hands are shaped in Cartier's quirky take on the traditional Breguet-style hands, with a discreet grey minute track found at the centre. These are contained within the curved platinum case of this Cintrée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement that powers this Tank Cintrée is the mechanical calibre 8971MC, based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 846.
