Cartier’s 2023 Privé Tank Normale collection.
The existence and success of the contemporary Cartier Privé collection is proof positive that some of the Maison?s most iconic timepieces remain as desirable today as when they were first designed. It is thanks to the Privé collection that a completely new generation of watch lovers has had the opportunity to purchase exemplary timepieces from Cartier?s history books, directly from their boutiques. This year, for the collection?s seventh chapter, Cartier reprised the Tank Normale as the all new Privé Tank Normale.
Louis Cartier himself designed the Tank in 1917, launching two years later. The Privé Tank Normale is said to be derived from that very first design, with its proportions and a beveled sapphire crystal emerging from the inspiration in an albeit larger form. In yellow gold and platinum, each version is limited to 200 pieces. Additionally, two other limited editions (100 pieces each) will be produced in yellow gold and platinum, offered with an exclusive seven-link bracelet reminiscent of the charming Gay Frères brick bracelets from the 1970s.
