Cartier "Mass Mysteryuse"
Automatic (Cal. 9801 MC). 43 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve approximately 42 hours. Pt (diameter 43.5mm, thickness 12.64mm). Limited to 30 pieces worldwide. Estimated price: 32.5 million yen (tax included).

 The Mass Mystérieuse is equipped with a movement that was released after approximately eight years of development. Its movement is extremely mysterious. The semicircular movement itself rotates in response to the movement's movements, just like the rotor of an automatic winding watch. However, the hour and minute hands do not move in response to the movement's rotation, but continue to display the correct time along with the indexes on the outer edge of the dial. This is a one-of-a-kind complicated watch that brings together the technology cultivated in Cartier's mystery clocks. The movement is skeletonized, allowing you to fully appreciate its mysterious movement. The case is made of platinum. Limited to 30 pieces worldwide.

 The Tank Chinoise, which was released in 1922 and was inspired by the architectural style of Chinese temples, has been released this year, marking its 100th anniversary. The new Privé Tank Chinoise, reminiscent of its design, has been released. There are two main designs available: one with a standard dial design with Roman numerals, and the other with a skeleton dial incorporating Chinese architectural styles. The latter, which leaves a striking impression on the viewer, features a skeletonized finish not only on the dial but also on the movement, which is colored with lacquer in black, blue, red, and other colors. There are a total of six models in the lineup, with variations in case material and dial, and all models feature a manual-winding movement and a precious metal case, and are sold in limited quantities.

The third model features a chic black dial, similar to the Tank Must model announced at the same time. All three models are fitted with alligator straps that match the dial color, and the crowns are set with sapphire cabochons. They are equipped with the slim, hand-wound Cal. 1917 MC movement, and the case thickness is kept to a mere 6.6mm.

 A black dial model has been added to the popular Tank Must, which was released last year. It comes in two sizes, SM and LM. Neither model has an indices, and combined with the rounded case shape inherited from the Tank Louis Cartier, it creates an elegant impression. The quartz movement keeps the thickness down to 6.6mm, and the crown top is adorned with a blue synthetic spinel. It comes with a black alligator strap that matches the dial.

 The "Pasha de Cartier" is a homage to the 1985 "Pasha." "Grid" means lattice door, and as the name suggests, a lattice-shaped protector is attached to the crystal. This can be removed by rotating it, allowing you to choose whether you want to emphasize the atmosphere of the original model or visibility, depending on your mood. The crown cover, which emphasizes the watch's waterproof nature, and the distinctive shape of the lugs have also been retained. The straps are interchangeable, making them easy to remove and attach. The lineup includes two automatic models and one quartz model.
