A Tank Cintrée NSO produced through Cartier’s New Special Order program for one of their top clients. The project spanned 3 years resulting in a bespoke configuration; it features a platinum case, luminous Roman numerals, luminous Breguet hands, black gloss dial, and matching bloodstone cabochon. While this particular Cintrée was the product of a custom project, its design is incredibly intentional and cohesive, a perfect balance of respect for the history of the Cintrée with a bold, austere, and potentially singular aesthetic.
