Marking the 100th anniversary of the Tank Chinoise — which was inspired by traditional Chinese architecture — the latest Cartier Prive Tank Chinoise models are definitely some of Cartier’s key novelties for the year. The updated models include three pieces in platinum, yellow gold and rose gold; as well as skeletonised versions with vibrantly coloured lacquered bridges.
In the latest instalment of #WatchYaGot, where we get up close with compelling new timepieces recently bought by watch enthusiasts, collector and lawyer Lim U-Shaun tells us why he bought two very contrasting versions of the Tank Chinoise — the relatively stealthy platinum edition as well as its polar opposite, the Skeleton version in yellow gold, with red and black bridges.
