2019 Cartier’s first Tonneau watch, from 1906 Right: The new Cartier Tank Chinoise Red CARTIER FOR 2019 PREVIEWS four new Tonneau watches, each a member of the Privé collection that has Cartier re-booting its best-known designs for collectors. For 2019, Cartier will re-visit its long history as a maker of tonneau- cased watches that hug the wrist with elegance. The four new examples are all large-sized tonneau models, and two of these are skeletonized dual-timers. This model is essentially an update of the 2006 Cartier Tonneau XL dual time model. But unlike the original, which had two movements, a single in-house Caliber 9919 MC with a 60-hour power reserve powers the new dual-time display. Cartier also debuts new models in it Cartier Libre collection of jeweled watches. These include limited edition Tank Chinoise, Diagonale and Baignoire Allongée watches. Prices listed here subject to change. 102 | INTERNATIONAL WATCH | WINTER 2019
