Introducing 2020 Cartier Privé Tank Asymétrique Watch Replica

The annual release of Cartier, the king of French watch and jewellery, is always eye-catching. This year, the brand has been surprised by the return and update of its classic Pasha in the 1980s and the revitalized Santos series. However, although these new models have attracted everyone ’s attention, much of the discussion about the brand ’s most famous version this year has focused on Tank Asymétrique, a new series with limited release and the latest update to the Cartier Privé series. Different from the 1998-2008 Paris private Cartier (Privée Cartier) series (aka CPCP) characterized by strict coding (unified guilloche dial and Roman numerals, with Cartier Paris logo and rosette, Burgundy straps, etc.) , The new Cartier Privé series leaves more scope for creativity and change. After Crash, Tank Cintrée and Tonneau, it is time to reinterpret the replica Cartier Privé Tank Asymétrique watch.

The History

The 1930s were a period of intense creativity for Cartier. With Art Deco, wristwatches came in a multitude of geometric forms. The iconic Tank theme underwent numerous variations. Among these, the unapologetically elegant Tank Asymétrique, which was known at the time as the Parallélogramme or Losange. Created in 1936, the model stands out with its original tilted rectangular case. To recreate the 2020 Cartier Tank Asymétrique watch fake, Cartier took inspiration from the original 1936 model with its distinctive triple-lug construction. With it, the rectangle became a lozenge and everything on the dial was shifted 30°. Instead of the signature Roman numerals, it features Arabic numerals separated by baton-style hour markers.



The Cartier Tank Asymétrique replica watch originally came in a number of different versions, and since 1936, it has been revisited by Cartier on several occasions. In 2006, 250 pieces in yellow gold were made; in 1999, two sets of watches, which were produced as both right and left-hand versions, were produced in a run of 99 pieces each. It has been made, over the years, both with and without the central third lug, and with both Roman and Arabic numerals.

New Tank Asymétrique Series

The new Cartier Privé Tank Asymétrique watch replica is the fourth watch in the Cartier Privé watch fake collection. The Privé Collection, which originally ran from 1998 to 2008, was and is a showcase for classic historical Cartier designs. Since its 2015 relaunch, Cartier has presented new versions of the Crash, Tonneau, and Cintrée watches, with each coming in both a standard and an openworked version. This year's Asymmétrique marks the return of a classic and, for collectors, much-loved and hard to find model. It was first launched by Cartier in 1936 and represented a quite radical departure from normal round case shapes, and for that matter, for rectangular watches as well.
The original Tank Asymétrique was supposedly introduced as a way of easing the task of reading the time. If you raise your wrist to check the time, the part of the lozenge with the 12 is uppermost (the Asymétrique was also known as the Losange). But there is no doubt that it was, and remains, a unique design statement as well.



The new 2020 Cartier Privé Tank Asymétrique replica watch series includes six different models: three solid-dial models and three skeletonized versions each limited to 100 editions. The solid-dial models are available in platinum, rose gold, or yellow gold, each with a sunburst dial, while the skeletonized version is available in rose gold, platinum, or diamond-encrusted platinum. Each uses the same general design, featuring a 47.15 x 26.2 mm parallelogram-shaped case, complete with unique triple lugs, corresponding leather strap, and 30-degree rotated dial. As is common on all modern Cartier watches, each one features a stylized crown tipped with either the brand’s flagship sapphire, rarer ruby, or highly uncommon diamond cabochon. 

The Cartier Privé Tank Asymétriqu Replica

Taking a closer look at the solid-dial models, which feature either a silver or black sunburst dial depending on the case material, we discover a highly distinguished Cartier design — foremost in the use of Arabic numerals and tick marks for alternating hour positions, differing from most Cartier watches replica’ typical use of Roman numerals. The platinum version of the solid-dial Tank Asymétrique takes this design a step further by using applied markers while the two gold versions opt for printed markers (most Cartier models exclusively use printed markers). However, the watch still maintains the French jeweler’s traditional use of sword hands, as found on the standard Tank and many other models, giving the watch a distinctly "Cartier" look despite its unconventional design. These models each use the manual winding Caliber 1917 MC, with a 38-hour power reserve, an in-house movement used often for the brand’s slimmer watches.

The Cartier Privé Tank Asymétriqu Skeleton Replica

Moving to the Cartier Privé Tank Asymétrique skeletonized versions replica, we find a similar dial design, though obviously distinguished and elevated in the more luxurious skeleton scheme. These models again use Arabic numerals and tick marks at the hour positions — but here only two numerals, at the 12 and o’clock positions, and in an enlarged font. All of the hour markers are printed with blue paint to match either the blue cabochon on the crown or the blue alligator leather strap. Toward the center of the dial is an inner, tilted parallelogram shape from which the hour indices radiate, providing a good complement to the congruent case. Powering these models and oriented diagonally to fit the shape of the case is the manually-wound Caliber 9623 MC, storing a 48-hour reserve and visible from both sides courtesy of a sapphire caseback.
