DESCRIPTION

  • Tank Louis Cartier Sapphire Skeleton watch 
    Weightless circles
     
    This weightless work of art perpetuates the Maison's heritage by capturing the magic of two expressions of Cartier style: the elegance of Tank aesthetics and the uniqueness of skeletonised transparency.  
     
    A bold and refined creative statement, the Tank Louis Cartier Sapphire Skeleton watch celebrates the excellence of the Watchmaker of Shaped Timepieces.  
      
    Tank and transparency: the quintessence of Cartier watchmaking style 
     
    With its attachments incorporated into the case in alignment with the strap, the Tank watch created in 1917 is part of Cartier's heritage of shaped watches. Timeless yet ahead of its time, this great classic has conveyed a real sense of modernity from the outset.
     
    Transparency, meanwhile, has been an integral part of the Maison's style for decades, from the first mystery clocks created in 1912 to the skeletonised movements of the 1930s and the most recent Fine Watchmaking creations. 
     
    Bespoke skeletonisation 
     
    The skeletonisation of the Tank Louis Cartier Sapphire Skeleton watch introduces new creative horizons with an innovative movement that possesses a transparent plate partially created from sapphire crystal. This clear material, commonly used for the crystal in watch cases, is here diverted from its usual purpose and is the subject of a pending patent.
     
    Taken back to the very essence of its function, the calibre 9616 MC is made up of adjoining circles of metal that appear to be suspended and trace the shape of the movement. A circular bridge gives structure to the circles and the harmony of the Tank Louis Cartier Sapphire Skeleton watch.
     
    An abstract and contemporary work of art, the Tank Louis Cartier Sapphire Skeleton represents the subtle link between form and technical skill.
