A highlight of the past year, this photovoltaic movement developed in-house by Cartier continues to be a landmark, both in the sector and in stores with customers.

In the line of sight, the iconic and square design of the 1917 Tank watch, revised and corrected on the movement side by a rechargeable battery, powered by a series of panels on the dial.

It only remains to wait before knowing if the house intends to apply this patent to other timepieces for the brand.

On the other, three new Prospex Diver's in 38.5mm which beat to the tempo of an in-house solar quartz.

2022, the year when the manufacture reconnects with the adrenaline of great firsts and the bold heritage contained in its very name (TAG for Technique d'Avant-Garde).

After the style exercise of laboratory diamonds, the house combines deep-sea diving and

green

light with a new TH50-00 caliber capturing the sun's brilliance in just two minutes for an entire day.

But the real surprise of this watch, announced in March but launched on the market next October, is revealed once in the dark.

In the line of sight, a waltz under neon impulse of magnetic blue and green, obtained thanks to a skilful mixture of carbon and Super-Luminova.

A pioneer on the subject since its development in Japan in the 1970s to stop throwing away used batteries, Citizen is redeploying its

eco-drive

solar technology this season on a Pilot watch, available in three hands or in a chronograph version.

All of this always transforming the sun's energy into electricity via a silicon disk to store it in a special battery, and always at a low price.
