There is a reason the Cartier Tank has remained a design icon for over a century. It’s elegant, balanced, and...unmistakably Cartier. However, from time to time, the brand changes up the silhouette. That’s where the Tank MC comes in. It’s still very much a Tank, but it’s also something else entirely: bold, architectural, and unapologetically modern.
This skeleton 18K rose gold piece measures just under 35mm wide, giving it presence without overwhelming the wrist. It maintains the proportions Cartier is known for, but adds a touch of depth and strength, staying true to the “MC” (Manufacture Cartier) lineage. The real story is in the dial, or rather, the absence of one. Everything is open, exposing the in-house 9619 MC manual-winding movement where the bridges double as oversized Roman numerals.
In this case, Cartier didn’t just skeletonize the movement; it integrated the whole design around it. The hands float cleanly over the dial, and every visible element is finished to the highest standard. Turn it over, and the sapphire caseback offers a clear view of the rest of the movement, reminding us that this is as much about horological craftsmanship as it is about form. This fusion of structure and design transcends traditional watchmaking to enter the realm of architectural sculptures.
So why this watch? Because it brings Cartier’s heritage into the present. This watch respects the past while fully embracing the present. It’s eye-catching, yet sophisticated. If you’re someone who appreciates a classic silhouette with a modern twist, and you’re looking for a piece that brings real mechanical intrigue to the table, then the Tank MC Skeleton is the watch you want.

To qualify as a Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned, a watch must meet superior standards of quality. Our 30+ master watchmakers perform a comprehensive 30-point inspection on every single timepiece that comes through our doors to verify that every watch part is authentic and functions within original factory specifications.
Fully Serviced
Every Bucherer Certified Authentic Pre-Owned watch is guaranteed to function within its original factory specifications. Each watch goes through a careful restoration process conducted by one of our master watchmakers. Our restoration process begins with a full movement service and overhaul if necessary to inspect each and every piece of the movement. Next, each piece is cleaned, lubricated and put back together. Any worn or broken parts are replaced using only original manufacture parts to maintain authenticity. The restoration process includes expert cleaning and polishing, testing of water pressure and magnetization and the replacement of straps.
2-Year Warranty
We have been selling and maintaining fine watches for over 115 years and are therefore very confident in our restoration process. To help provide extended care to you and your timepiece, a two-year warranty is included with every Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned watch to cover any internal movement defects. We care about your watch just as much as you do, and we will work to ensure you the best possible experience.
