Cartier Tank À Vis CPCP Wandering Hours 2554

CARTIER CPCP TANK A VIS WANDERING HOURS 2554 18K WG

Throughout their history, Cartier has developed a powerful history as a revered watchmaker. While their reputation waned in the 80s and 90s as they turned to jewelry-oriented quartz timepieces, they made a conscious effort to turn things around in 1998 by launching the Collection Privée Cartier Paris, or CPCP, at SIHH to demonstrate their horological prowess. By partnering with THA Èbauche, a collaborative movement manufacture made up of Vianney Halter, Denis Flageollet (founder of De Bethune), and François-Paul Journe, Cartier began to challenge the horological heavyweights with truly spectacular timepieces, much like this Wandering Hours model, the Tank A Vis ref. 2554. Featuring the Tank’s signature rectangular construction in 18k white gold, a stunningly finished manual-wind movement, and elaborately decorated silver dial, the Tank A Vis lives up to the CPCP’s deserved status as one of Cartier’s finer creations. With its interesting dial layout and time display that shows the minutes with a single central hand, the hours as they rotate through 12 o’clock, and the date at 6 o’clock, the Tank A Vis is an interesting watch that is unlike most other watches on the market and one that we are delighted to have with us.
