A sublime intersection of cultural homage and refined design, this Cartier Tank Chinoise stands out with a rare architectural grace. Conceived as part of a 150-piece limited edition, this 2022 release reinterprets the maison’s historic 1922 model, newly executed with a contemporary rectangular form.
Framed by golden brancards evoking the symmetry and geometry of Eastern temples, the watch exudes balance and minimalistic strength. The satin-brushed yellow gold case contrasts beautifully with the polished top and bottom crossbars, presenting a studied elegance from every angle.
The champagne sunburst dial is anchored by traditional Roman numerals and a railway minute track, all punctuated by Cartier’s signature blued sword hands. Driving the time-only display is the ultra-thin manually wound calibre 430 MC—allowing for the refined profile that makes the Chinoise a graceful fit for both masculine and feminine wrists.
Accompanied by its full Cartier set, including certificate, magnifier, booklets and box, this example—engraved No. 026/150—offers not only a stunning wrist presence but the reassurance of completeness.
A discreet statement for the sophisticated collector, the Tank Chinoise remains one of the most poetic reinterpretations in Cartier’s modern design canon.
