The Cartier Tank à Guichets WGTA0236 is a modern tribute to one of Cartier’s most enigmatic designs, reintroduced in platinum for 2025 with a focus on architectural minimalism and horological purity. With no traditional dial, hands, or numerals, the solid brushed platinum case features only two discreet apertures: one at the top for the jumping hour and one below for the trailing minutes. This mysterious time display, originally conceived in 1928, embodies Cartier’s avant-garde spirit and mastery of design reduction.

Powered by a manual-winding mechanical movement, the complication delivers instantaneous hour jumps and smooth minute progression—visible only when needed. The platinum case exudes weight and elegance, while the clean geometry of the Tank form is emphasized by its unadorned surface. Paired with an alligator leather strap and a platinum folding buckle, the WGTA0236 is a connoisseur’s timepiece—bold in concept, subtle in execution, and a pure expression of Cartier’s legacy in both form and function.

The Cartier Tank à Guichets WGTA0236 in platinum is a 2025 reissue of one of the Maison’s most elusive and design-centric creations. Crafted from solid platinum with a satin-brushed finish, the 37.6mm x 24.8mm case captures the essence of Cartier’s early 20th-century experimentation with digital displays, blending mechanical ingenuity with minimalist architecture. Its monolithic silhouette and absence of a conventional dial emphasize the purity of its design.

Time is read through two windows: jumping hours appear in the aperture at 12 o’clock, while the rotating minutes are visible through a second aperture at 6 o’clock. This digital display—introduced in 1928—was groundbreaking in its time and remains one of Cartier’s most refined expressions of horological restraint.

Beneath the solid platinum caseback lies a manually wound mechanical movement, designed for reliability and discreet operation. The minimalist front-facing architecture is uninterrupted by hands or indices, placing all focus on the movement of the numerals behind the angled apertures.

Finished with a deep black matte alligator strap and secured by a platinum ardillon buckle, the Tank à Guichets WGTA0236 is both a collector’s piece and a modernist statement. Elegant, enigmatic, and steeped in Cartier heritage, this limited creation reflects the brand’s mastery of both traditional craftsmanship and radical design.
