Between 1998 and 2008, Cartier produced the Collection Privée Cartier Paris, better known as 'CPCP'.
That exceptional production was dedicated to revisiting the iconic models of the Maison while powering them with the finest mechanisms. These pieces are today rightly recognized as some of the most collectible watches of the last 40 years.
The Tank à vis is based on the design of the Tank Etanche that saw light in 1931. Etanche means waterproof in French. It embodies the quest of Cartier to produce water resistant pieces, which was one of the main challenges at the time. The Tank à vis kept the distinctive four screws on the bezel, while its thicker profile ensured a contemporary feel to the creation.
The design was used in the CPCP collection for several models, including the dual time, wandering hours and time-only.
The Cartier Tank à Vis reference 2554, launched in 2005 as part of the CPCP, features a wandering hours complication. This complication dates back to 1656 when it was first used on a clock designed for Pope Alexander XII by the Campani brothers in Rome. The present Cartier watch displays hours through an aperture and minutes with a traditional hand, performing a twist on the classic complication that was originally created to allow reading time in the dark with illuminated numerals.
