A quick look at Cartier's new watches for 2025!

Although not a specialized watch manufacturer, Cartier has a mature manufacturing system. In particular, the exteriors, which are produced in-house, boast an exceptional level of perfection. Cartier has announced a wealth of new watches in 2025. What are the masterpieces that demonstrate Cartier's excellent watchmaking, including the new Tank à Guichet from Cartier Privé?

Cartier 2025 New Release① "Tank à Guichet"

　The 2025 Cartier Privé model is the Tank à Guiché, a watch with a unique design featuring a jumping hour mechanism. "Guiché" means small window. With most of the dial covered by the case, it has a so-called "iron mask" design, with the hours displayed in a small window at 12 o'clock and the minutes displayed in an arc-shaped opening. The original was created in 1928, anticipating the arrival of an era in which the spread of trains and automobiles meant that quick checking of the time would be necessary. It can be said that this model embodied Cartier's innovative spirit.

　There are four variations available. One model features a jumping hour window at the 12 o'clock position and is available in three cases: 18K yellow gold, 18K pink gold, and platinum. The other is a platinum case model with a jumping hour window at the 10 o'clock position, limited to 200 pieces worldwide. All models are equipped with the hand-wound movement Cal. 9755 MC.

Cartier 2025 New Release ② "Tank Louis Cartier" LM Size

　The Tank, born in 1917, remains a beloved Cartier icon to this day. The Tank Louis Cartier, released in 1922, inherited the original design but with slight modifications, resulting in a more refined form. A new large-size variation has now been added to this current model. At 38.1mm long and 27.75mm wide, it exudes the Tank's signature elegance while also exuding a sense of strength.

　The dial features familiar Tank elements, such as Roman numeral indexes, a railway minute track, and blue hour and minute hands, but this model also features a radial pattern that gives the dial a dynamic feel.

　The movement is the Cal. 1899 MC, the company's proud next-generation automatic movement.

Cartier 2025 New Release ③ "Santos-Dumont"

Three new Santos-Dumont models have been released, each with a unique design. One is a model with a design reminiscent of the wood used in aircraft construction. The case is made of 18K yellow gold and features a gold-colored dial with a radial finish.

　The second model is inspired by feathery silk and features an 18K pink gold case with a pale-toned dial featuring delicate vertical and horizontal stripes. The final model is inspired by copper and features a platinum case with a copper-toned dial featuring a concentric circular pattern.

　Both models are fitted with alligator leather straps and are equipped with the hand-wound movement Cal. 430 MC. Only the platinum case model is produced in limited quantities.

Cartier 2025 New Release #4: Santos-Dumont Extra Large

　The Santos-Dumont also adds an extra-large model in 18K yellow gold. It comes in two variations: one with a solid 18K yellow gold case, and the other with a stainless steel middle case and an 18K yellow gold bezel.

　The dial has a dressy design typical of Santos-Dumont, with a sunray-finished silver dial and slim black Roman numeral indexes.

　The case is designed with a satin finish. The bezel is secured with eight screws, giving it a powerful look. The strap is made of alligator leather. The solid model comes with a blue strap, while the two-tone model comes with a black strap. The movement is a hand-wound Cal. 430 MC.

Cartier 2025 New Release #5: Santos-Dumont Micro-Rotor Skeleton Watch

　New variations have been added to the Santos-Dumont Micro-Rotor Skeleton Watch, which was released in 2023. There are three variations: an 18K yellow gold case model, a limited-edition stainless steel case model with a black lacquer finish, and a limited-edition model with an 18K white gold case set with diamonds.

　The skeletonized dial and movement allow the inner workings to be viewed in detail. The Cal. 9629 MC movement used in this model is an automatic movement with a micro-rotor, featuring an airplane motif at the 8 o'clock position. This model strongly evokes a connection to the Santos-Dumont's aviation roots, and the meticulously polished movement demonstrates the high level of Cartier's decorative techniques.

Cartier 2025 New Model 6: Tank Française

　The Tank Française, which debuted in 1996 and was most recently updated in 2023, has now been released with a skeleton watch based on the Tank Française. The lineup includes a stainless steel case model and an 18K pink gold case model.

　The skeleton dial allows you to see the movement parts, such as the balance wheel and barrel. Due to the nature of skeleton watches, visibility is often sacrificed, but this model's dial has a hairline finish and a railway minute circle on the outer periphery, improving visibility.

　The stainless steel case model is fitted with the Tank Française's iconic bracelet, while the 18K pink gold case model is fitted with a blue alligator leather strap.

Cartier 2025 New Release ⑦ "Panthère de Cartier"

　Cartier's jewelry watch collection, the Panthère de Cartier, has added four new semi-pave-set models to its lineup. The gold case and bracelet are set with brilliant-cut diamonds on the top of the bezel and on the bracelet. The dial has a soft white color. The iconic design, featuring black Roman numeral indexes and blue hour and minute hands, is appealing. It is equipped with a quartz movement, which is less hassle than a mechanical movement.

　Variations include a medium case model made of 18K yellow gold, small models with 18K yellow gold and 18K pink gold cases, and a mini model made of 18K pink gold.

Cartier 2025 New Model No. 8 "Panthère de Cartier" Animal Motif

　Panthère de Cartier also unveiled a high jewelry model with a zebra and tiger motif. The medium 18K pink gold case features a unique striped pattern created by black and gold-brown lacquer, while pavé-set diamonds, orange spessartite, and yellow spessartite add sparkle.

　The lacquer is applied and fired by hand by the artisans of Maison des Métiers d'Art, and the setting of the stones also demonstrates the exceptional skills of a jeweler. The bracelet features a gradation of 314 brilliant-cut diamonds and 84 spessartites. It takes more than 110 hours of labor to polish and set each one.

Cartier 2025 New Model No. 9 "Panthère Jewelry Watch"

　The newly announced "Panthère Jewelry Watch" is a truly iconic piece that is both jewelry and a watch. It features a bangle-type design, with a dynamic, three-dimensional panthère motif on one end and a watch built into the other.

　Available in 18K yellow gold and 18K white gold, the Panthère features black lacquer spots, tsavorite eyes, and an onyx nose. The dial is black, with diamonds set around the perimeter and at 12 o'clock.

　The 18K white gold model is entirely set with diamonds, adding brilliance and elegance to the panthère. There are over 1,100 diamonds in total. The eyes are emeralds, and the nose and spots are onyx.

Cartier 2025 New Release 10: "Traceage de Cartier"

　The new collection, "Traceage de Cartier," is a shining example of Cartier's unique originality. The rectangular case is paired with a bracelet with a spirally intertwined design. There are four variations in total.

　The first model features a diamond-set dial with a shiny leather strap and spiraling gold and diamonds on both ends. The second model features a black dial with a black strap and spiraling gold. Finally, there are models with a white gold snow-set dial and a shiny beige leather strap, as well as models set with sapphires and brilliant-cut diamonds.
