Tank Louis Cartier Large Manual Rose Gold / Grey Graphical

In Context

At 25.5 mm this is jewellery scale — a watch sized to be worn as an ornament rather than read across a room. The 6.6 mm case is genuinely slim and goes under a shirt cuff without argument. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. Its 38-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

WGTA0092 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a grey dial with a rose gold case.

Cartier 1917 MC is a hand-wound movement in tonneau-shape, measuring 12.9 x 16.4mm at a height of approx. 2.9mm.

8 other watches in the library run the Cartier 1917 MC.
