Cartier is the brand that, second only to Rolex, has seen the most impressive growth in recent years. And as always, they’ve made sure to bring something extraordinary to Watches and Wonders. For 2025, Cartier returns to Geneva with bold statements, elegant evolutions, and designs that once again show why the maison continues to capture the attention of collectors, journalists, and style leaders alike.
Cartier Privé Tank à Guichets
One of the most compelling releases from Cartier at Watches and Wonders 2025 is the return of the Tank à Guichets – a model that masterfully blends the maison’s heritage with a thoroughly modern execution. Part of the Cartier Privé collection, this year’s edition revives one of the brand’s most distinctive designs from the early 20th century.
Originally introduced in 1928, the Tank à Guichets broke away from traditional watchmaking by completely eliminating hands. Instead, the time was displayed digitally through two apertures – one for the hours, one for the minutes – a concept that mirrored the growing pace of life and the rise of mechanisation during the interwar era.
For 2025, the model returns in four versions, each with the same sleek proportions: 37.6 mm tall, 24.8 mm wide, and just 6 mm thick. All are powered by Cartier’s hand-wound 9755 MC movement. Three of the models – crafted in yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum – feature the hour aperture at 12 o’clock and the minute aperture at 6 o’clock. The fourth, also in platinum, takes things a step further with angled apertures at 11 and 5 o’clock, a subtle nod to the dynamic design experimentation of the 1930s. This version is also limited to just 200 pieces.
Each watch is paired with an alligator leather strap in green, bordeaux, dark grey, or black to match the case. Regardless of the version, the 2025 Tank à Guichets is a refined statement piece – one that speaks to both Cartier’s technical ingenuity and its unmatched design legacy.
Tank Louis Cartier
When it comes to timeless dress watches, few models rival the Cartier Tank. At Watches and Wonders 2025, Cartier introduces a refined update to the Tank Louis Cartier – now available in a larger format, while maintaining all the hallmarks of the iconic design.
The new model comes in both yellow gold and rose gold, each powered by Cartier’s automatic 1899 MC movement – a welcome evolution that brings mechanical convenience to a classic silhouette. The case now measures 38.1 mm from lug to lug, 27.75 mm in width, and 8.18 mm in thickness, offering a more contemporary wrist presence while preserving the Tank’s elegant proportions.
The silvered flinqué dial features classic Roman numerals, blue sword-shaped hands, and a subtle “Cartier” signature integrated at VII – a nod to the brand’s tradition of hidden details. Water-resistant to 30 meters, the watch is paired with either a grey or brown semi-matte alligator leather strap, depending on the case metal.
Whether you’re dressing for a black-tie event or simply appreciate the artistry of fine watchmaking, the new Tank Louis Cartier stands as a refined choice with enduring appeal.
Cartier Panthère
Cartier’s Panthère collection has long been associated with glamour, jewelry-inspired design, and effortless elegance. At Watches and Wonders 2025, the maison once again highlights this iconic line — this time with dazzling new interpretations.
Among the new releases are two classic models in rose gold and yellow gold, both set with diamonds and powered by quartz movements. But the standout is undoubtedly the “Zebra” edition — a dramatic, high-jewelry piece featuring a bold striped motif in lacquer and pavé-set diamonds. This version is an artistic tour de force, with 145 diamonds set into the dial and another 314 adorning the case, creating a watch that blurs the line between horology and haute joaillerie.
The cases measure 36.5 mm × 26.7 mm × 6.8 mm, while an additional smaller version is also offered at 30.3 mm × 22 mm × 6.05 mm. Each watch comes paired with a fully diamond-set bracelet in matching metal, completing the seamless, jewelry-like appearance.
Whether you're drawn to the classic silver-dial variants or the striking animal print of the Zebra, Cartier's latest Panthère watches prove that a timepiece can be both a work of art and a statement of style.
Panthère Bangle
Few pieces capture Cartier’s dual identity—jewellery and watchmaking—as boldly as the new Panthère Bangle. This is not just a watch; it’s wearable sculpture. One half of the bangle features a leaping panther crafted in yellow or white gold, detailed with lacquer and brilliant-cut diamonds. The other half is a minimalist watch head, discreetly integrated into the design.
Two versions are available: one in yellow gold with a black lacquer dial and 23 diamonds, and another in white gold with a pavé dial and an astonishing 1,103 diamonds. Despite their wildly different expressions, both pieces feel unmistakably Cartier.
This is high jewellery with a sense of motion and purpose—and one of the boldest watch designs of the year.
Final thoughts
Cartier continues to prove that it can move effortlessly between heritage and innovation. From sculptural jewellery watches to reissues of early digital displays, the 2025 lineup is both unexpected and unmistakably Cartier.
Whether you're drawn to the clean elegance of the new Tank Louis or the wild energy of the Panthère Bangle, there's a sense that every model tells a story – and it’s one worth wearing.
