The Cartier Tank Cintrée WHTA0008 is an elongated homage to Cartier’s classic Tank shape, meticulously curved to fit the wrist in a 46.3 × 23 mm rose gold case. The skeletonised dial reveals the handcrafted movement architecture, with hour markers integrated into a rose gold outline and blued‑steel sword‑shaped hands floating above the open mechanics. A beaded crown capped with a sapphire cabochon completes the refined silhouette, while an alligator strap and matching gold deployant clasp offer bespoke elegance.

Limited to only 100 engraved pieces, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Cartier Tank in 2017, this manually wound skeleton edition is among the rarest modern Cartier production models. The calibre is engineered to follow the curvature of the case, enhancing both form and function. With its discreet exclusivity, structural transparency, and minimalist execution, the WHTA0008 appeals most to connoisseurs who prize architectural purity over decorative complication—a collector’s classic engineered in rose gold sparingly.

The Cartier Tank Cintrée Skeleton WHTA0008 is a striking reinterpretation of the legendary Tank silhouette, elongated at 46 mm × 23 mm and rendered in polished 18K rose gold. From the elegantly curved case to the beaded crown set with a sapphire cabochon, this timepiece draws directly from Cartier’s original 1921 design DNA—now elevated by a modern skeleton architecture. Its slim 9.08 mm thickness and natural wrist-hugging curve give it presence without bulk, while preserving refined elegance throughout its proportions.

Inside is the Couture-developed manually wound Caliber 9917 MC, built specifically for this creation with a curvature matching the case. The architecture follows a vertical symmetry: the inclined mainspring barrel at 12 o’clock, a skeletonized center bridge framing the Cartier signature, and the exposed balance wheel at 6 o’clock. Composed of 142 precisely finished components and positioned with 21 jewels, the movement runs at 4 Hz and offers around 60 hours of power reserve—visible beneath sapphire crystals front and back.

Paired with an alligator leather strap and adjustable rose-gold folding clasp, this numbered édition limitée (100 pieces only) emphasizes Cartier’s blend of elegance, innovation, and historical storytelling. Non-water-resistant to maintain acoustic and aesthetic integrity, the WHTA0008 seamlessly combines maison heritage with avant-garde skeleton horology—offering collectors a rare blend of architectural finesse, technical depth, and singular spirit in a modern classic.
