In 1917, Louis Cartier conceived a distinctive rectangular shape, and the “Tank watch” came into being. However, the mainstream at that time was still round watches. From 1917 to 1936, the Tank series continuously launched a variety of watch models. In 1936, the Tank Asymétrique watch was born. This “parallelogram” timepiece marks a major change in the style of the series. This year, in addition to reinterpreting classic watches, Cartier also incorporated new hollow and diamond-set designs to show a new look. We also photographed this series at the Shanghai “Watches and Miracles” high-end watch exhibition. The flagship hollow diamond-set Tank Asymétrique watch, so let us take a look at this unique watch that subverts tradition.
Real pictures of the watch
Cartier innovatively introduced a hollow design to this classic watch, making the offset design watch more textured.
Cartier makes the case with a platinum base and sets it with brilliant-cut round diamonds. This oversized model is thicker than other models in the series. The size of the watch is 47.15 x 26.2 mm and the thickness is 7.82 mm.
The crown on the other side of the case is also different from other models that choose to set gems on the top. Instead, it is set with a 0.12-carat brilliant-cut round diamond to match the overall beauty of the watch. There are also convex designs on both sides of the crown to facilitate the wearer to adjust the time and twist the winding.
The asymmetrical watch design coupled with the hollow dial highlights the concept of the Cartier Privé series, which achieves design with craftsmanship. The digital time scales at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock on the dial are separated from each other. The movement bridge is designed with blue hour markers, transforming into a window to the wonders of craftsmanship. From the front, the exquisite movement can be seen at a glance.
The Banqiao time scale located in the center of the watch and the lug design set with four diamonds play the role of the central axis. This design can be described as the unique signature of this series of Tank Asymétrique watches. I mentioned in another article about the 18K gold watch that Cartier had to adapt the unique twisting angle of the watch, so the strap was also specially designed.
Cartier comes with a shiny blue alligator leather strap for the watch. You can also choose a black alligator leather strap, but I personally think the blue strap matches the blue color on the dial better.
The platinum pin buckle of the watch is also set with brilliant-cut round diamonds, and the watch is set with a total of 250 brilliant-cut round diamonds totaling 2.08 carats.
After admiring the hollow design on the front of the watch, let’s take a look at the exquisite movement under the transparent bottom cover on the back of the watch. Because the watches were shot on location, there is a label on the bottom cover. Cartier equips the watch with a Cartier 9623 MC workshop refined manual winding mechanical movement, with a total size of 32 x 21.1 mm, a thickness of 4.2 mm, a vibration frequency of 28,800 times per hour, and can provide 48 hours of power when fully wound. store.
Summary: This Tank Asymétrique combines the hollow design with Cartier’s expertise in jewelry inlay technology to fully embody the beauty, making it a unique landscape on the wrist and making it a highly sought-after rare work. The watch is numbered and limited. 100 pieces are on sale. If you are interested in this extremely gorgeous Tank Asymétrique, you might as well pay more attention to it.
