Why the Cartier Pasha is Unpopular

- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- The Cartier Pasha deserves so much more LOVE THAN IT RECEIVES! It has the same specifications as the Rolex Oyster Perpetual but gets a lot less love. It's the most unique go anywhere do anything watch that money can buy. I know, the design is...... Specific and a bit opulent; but when it comes to specifications you really can't argue with it. If you want a go anywhere do anything watch with a bit of personality..... I mean, it's gotta be the Cartier Pasha!
Gerald Genta design. Awesome heritage. I'm about it!

I hate myself for how I spelled "ugly". Please don't judge me.
heyhey no self-hatred😃the video turned out great!
This is my judging face 😐
Hmmm. I prefer spelt, but will accept spelled, especially approaching Halloween
Consider yourself judgt
Ha, just like the Pasha itself, I found that endearing!
Dear Britt, truly enjoy your channel and the post about the Pasha is fantastic. I worked for Cartier in 1988, three years after the pasha was introduced. I also got to see the Santos Galbee and Panthere for ladies sell quite a bit, especially in the steel, and gold but the Pasha was special very special. Coming from a high end jewelry designer and the uniqueness with storied history. It had a royalty vibe to it. And yes GRID all day. The only watch with a old school diving helmet feel to it.
Quite a bit of celebrities came through and purchased these amazing watches. One person will always stand out in my mind was Elton John. He was on tour in Miami, so as he entered the store, he was very personable and brought his entourage. Very casual, he had the denim jacket with Mickey Mouse on the back custom designed with all the crystals, I don’t know if you remember that from back in the day. As it’s customary, the store is secured to allow privacy for the celebrity and his entourage the interesting part is that he bought a watch for each member of his entourage. Super amazing to see. Very personable.
Truly enjoyed your post. Much love for Pashas. They also had the amazing Pasha cologne.😊
When I was in film school at PSU during the early 90’s, I had an instructor who said he worked on the set of Disney’s “Totally Minnie” video. Elton John was in it, I guess. The director and a couple select members of the crew had those Minnie Mouse jackets. Elton saw them and said he would not perform his part unless he got one of those jackets.
They were custom made and they weren’t for sale. So someone from the crew had to give their jacket to Elton so he would do his job.
Don't tell my wife, but she's got a Pasha C Big Date with the black dial sitting in the safe waiting on our anniversary next month! I actually love it. It really is a sleeper to me.
Did she love the watch?
Finally a video about my daily watch I am wearing for the moment! I got exactly the same one as in the video! Love it! ❤
Sitting here in cool north central Indiana on a Friday morning, there was no better way to start the day for this retired watch enthusiast than to yet again view a thoroughly enjoyable, in-depth watch video by someone who obviously relishes her role in the greater watch world. Thank you!
Whaaaat!!! 😭💕💕 this comment has absolutely made my day! And this is exactly the comment I needed today!
This is why i love my IWC Mark 16 (stay with me!)...its a watch that you rarely see, its never talked about and owning it feels special. The more popular and hyped a watch is, the more it turns me off..
The Pasha is very cool and different and probably looks amazing in real life.... not really for me, as I'm boring, but still...i do get it
I freaking LOVE this, and the fact that you are featuring a timepiece like this! Keep it up Britt!
Thanks Britt, for posting this review. Did you know the story that Cartier came up with when the watch was introduced? It was claimed that the Pasha of Marakesh wanted a “waterproof” watch for his water sport activities. What he (they) really meant was that he wanted such a watch for bathing with his “hareem!” Hence, it became known as the “bathtub diver” for collectors. All good watches have a story and I like it! However, when Gerald Genta passed away, his widow sold some sketches at auction that look surprisingly similar to the Pasha. So it IS A GERALD GENTA watch. Collectible watches always have a good story. True or not!
Sandproof.
I bought the 35mm in 2022 with the MC 1847 in-house movement. It lives on my wrist every day...the sheer pleasure I get every morning putting on my Pasha is worth every penny. I have yet to see another person wearing one. I see Rolexes (real and fake) everywhere. It looks unique and is a Genta design...I couldn't ask for more. Thank you for taking the time to showcase this lovely, underrated timepiece.
Hahaha, that wee crown is perfect split between hilarious and adorable. But it is a cool looking watch, very unique, maybe a bit pretentious design, but since it's Cartier it is absolutely fine. The whole crown situation isn't my favourite. The date-window is also a bold choice, but this whole is a bold design.
This is the type of watch I would use if I were going to a musem or a classic play. But toiling about in the perpetual hamster-wheel of doom that is working and such, it wouldn't get much wrist time, even if it was 37mm. But to be so bold as to quote John Mayer, "it reminds me of a lifestyle I certainly don't have, but it is sure fun to think about."
Actually, sometimes I even feel that about my own watches. Sometimes I feel I could get by with a water damaged Swatch from 1997 where the hands are just rolling around freely at the bottom of the dial, and with mismatched strap pieces salvaged from other watches. Not even like ironic, like I actually tried to match up my one good piece of worn-to-bits brown fauxligator with a almost same brown rubber strap. I think that says a lot about how my life is going sometimes. 😅😞😬
Britt!! A very interesting piece. According to my Google-fu, it may be an ETA 2892-A2. Long Live the Cult(s) and the 4:30 date window!!!
DON H! Expert tier GOOOOOGLE-FU! hahaha!
@@BrittPearceWatches I guess we are!!! HAHA. I am one who does not mind the 3, 4:30, or 6 O'clock date windows. However, I will say that if you have a magnifier, it should only be used on a 3 o'clock date window. The magnifier on the Pasha throws it off to me. So on this watch, I agree with you. On others, we be fightin' Long live the Cult(s)!!!
Thanks to channels like yours I’ve grown to love Cartier and this one is absolutely stunning and I would wear it being a gent as I very happily wear a Vintage Explorer and a new 36 Explorer so size would not be an issue
Finally, some love for the Pasha. The Pasha of Marrakesh's story aside, I feel there's something very romantic about it. I'm immediately transported to another time and place every time I see a Pasha. The chronograph version especially seem like it would fit right at home on Captain Nemo's Nautilus in Jules Verne's 20000 Leagues Under the Sea. I'd argue the Pasha has an even bigger escapist quality than the JLC Reverso because it doesn't really look like anything else. It doesn't even look like a stereotypical Genta design that we associate with him. I'm waffling a bit, but I'm just very happy to see some spotlight on the Pasha. Thank you so much for filming this.
Pasha has always been one of my favorite watches, always thought its history was severely underrated and offers a really classy alternative to other Cartiers with it's Arabic numerals
Right?! I couldn't agree more with all of this!
@@BrittPearceWatches real Genta heads care about polerouters, pashas and Mickey mice, not just royal oaks, Nautilus, ingenieur
Another quality vid on another quality watch from Cartier, they really don't do a bad watch😍 Only problem I have is that there's the Tank, Santos and Ballon Bleu to be bought before I get to this. One day though.....
As for the tiny wee crown, just wear the watch regularly and you only have to adjust the date every couple of months. Well worth the inconvenience 🤪
Awesome overview. I love Cartier watches - they have such unique and cohesive design language.
Right?! This is exactly why I love Cartier too!
I like 4:30 date windows
This is going to be our first big fight. ;)
I’ve worn a pasha as my daily for the past 10 years. Never seen another person wear it in the wild; love how unique is it.
Small crown has never bothered me; given the crown guard design it must be small, and it’s not been an issue for me to set the time.
The worst part about the watch is actually the magnifying glass. A real distraction from the elegance of this watch.
You were asking about the movement and i've had the Pasha on my radar for a while so i think i can help! Since the model you had is a Pasha C, the movement is an ETA 2829-a2 with a modified date wheel.
My favourite version is the Pasha C Big Date with the same movement, because i think the tiny cyclops in the corner of the earlier model looks a bit awkward.
I almost bought this watch! I really really love the design of it…but what held me back is the smooth bezel, i was afraid it might get scratched easily esp for daily wear..i still love it though. Thanks for the review ❤
Definitely not a watch for everyone but oh man, it’s truly a unique watch and very recognizable.
Hope you have a nice weekend Britt 🙏🏻
I like this watch and agree about that 430 date window it's terrible and I think it would let better without a date window 😊
Hi Britt! Male viewer with your exact wrist size here, and I absolutely love the Pasha, in precisely the size you got there. Have been tempted many times to get one of those pinkish-salmon variants, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Maybe your video has brought me a step closer.
What a beautiful watch! I see a Cartier being added to my collection someday 🙌
Ps. Nice to meet you a couple weeks ago 🙂🍻
I’m lucky to own a 2 tone Cartier Pasha 1033 with a power reserve indicator and a yellow gold bezel. It is deliciously decadent in a manner that makes it achingly beautiful. And the watch wears so so well. Cartier really know how to design and build art for the wrists.
The Pasha looks gorgeous on your wrist. I would absolutely rock it on my 15,5cm wrist.
Hello my friend the Gringa..... Sorry I have been away for so long but I have been sorting out some health non-sense we spoke about previously and I have also been very - very busy at work... Health issues and work - sounds like my life just sucks! But it really does not and I am proud to say I do own a Pasha and really enjoy it. And guess who influenced me into purchasing this watch - no one other than our GRINGA..... Yes - the crown is way too small and as you know - my hands are like a Sasquatch would have but the pain in the neck crown is worth it to me because the watch is so very cool. Anyway Gringa - been thinking of you and James and I hope you have been doing well. Would have loved to have seen you in TO but I was taking care of the health stuff did not feel like talking about it. So I am back! Much love to you and James - your friend - Elton
HES BACK!!!! Elton!!! Oh I’m sooo so glad you’re ok!! We think of you and talk about you regularly. Hoping you’re in good health! 💕 and enjoying work and life and watches!
I’m so sorry to hear there’s been more health stuff. 😞 but I’m so glad you’re ok!!!! That’s the important thing!
Is work a nice distraction from the health stuff? Or does it only amplify it more? I know for me, it can often go one of those ways. 😅 but I never know which way it will go! 💕
I was thinking of YOU while I filmed this video knowing you are aooo dang lucky AND YOU OWN A PASHA!!!! 😱😱✨✨✨🎉 one day I will join the Pasha owners club!!!
oh what a beautfy of a watch.
always has been on my wish list😍
You have great tastes! I love the Pasha!
Fun watch to review Britt! As a left handed fellow, a 4:30 date window is pretty useless to use regularly.
You know, I never even thought of the implications for left handed people!!
I bought my first Pasha in 1998 and I have absolutely loved it. I have 38mm and it is a classic.
Great content! showing more watches not only the same and the same all over again!!!
Hi Brit! Thanks for this great review! I love the pasha, was my first Cartier and still one of my favorite to wear even with a bigger collection :)
The movement should be a base ETA 2892 👍 mine is the GMT version of this Pasha C and the movement is the ETA 2893 so I suspect the 2892 was used for time only as the measurements are identical:)
Ahhh this is so helpful! Thank you so much!
@@BrittPearceWatches Glad I could help :) At least here being a nerd about movements is appreciated ^^ :D
Yes! Check out the beautiful indigo blue Pasha also
This watch is my ultimate I think. To me this watch is like a wealthy well mannered business man or aristocrat that occasionally rolls up his sleeves to go on safari or intense hiking or sailing! It's refined but it really is a sports watch! If it was a car it would be like a Bentley Continental which is all class but also serious performance! It's the gentleman adventurer and I just love that about it! It's different enough to definitely stand out, it's classy enough to wear to more formal events, has the specs to go through more rugged or casual stuff, it's just amazing! I love it! And I love the origin story behind it! I don't care if it's exaggerated or not real it's still fun haha! Fantastic review! I completely agree with your thoughts! I want this watch so bad haha!
I LOOOOOOOVE PASHA! And I love it even more cause no one talks about it… till today! Thank you for covering this Brittney! Legend!
LOVE the Pasha. I want the Pasha in yellow gold with the blue leather strap...it's too pricy for me but gorgeous!
I find this maybe the only well placed 4:30 date window. On other designs it seems forced or like a whim. Here it is one one of the corners of the square, further accents the connection between the pure geometric shapes. Great episode. About time somebody recognized the Pasha so lovingly :)
I just want one. Plain and simple, love the look, even the 4 o'clock date window. I know, don't kill me. I just wish it was a little cheaper or easier to find second hand.
4:30 date Windows can work if the crown has the same placement 🙃 the Pasha works only with some people, I look absolutely ridiculous and goofy with it
I like the 4:30 Date window. I have a watch with that. It works. What I hate is the cyclops magnifying window on the crystal. Blecccch. 😁😁😁
I think this is such a cool watch. It’s definitely got something very appealing about it. 🔥👍
I prefer a shoehorned 4:30 date window rather than losing a 3 or 6 numeral. I really love the double date window below the 12 marker-come on lazy movement makers! Would love to pick up a second generation Overseas chronograph 😎. Best regards
My manual wind Omega Seamaster Cosmic has a crown about the same size, and it’s fine.
I am NOT a fan of cartier watches BUT this is my favorite style that they make because they are so cool and so ..not.. cartier "standard" heh
4:30 date window sort of makes sense (corner of the square), 3 or 6 maybe works, but no date would be best. I actually think the magnifier is the issue more than the position.
I love my pasha gmt power reserve with GP movement
I have the Pasha Big Date and I love it (I'm wearing my Tank Louis today 😊).
The Pasha is definitely a strange duck but it gets almost the same amount of attention and admiration as my Tank.
Nooo way!!! A FELLOW CARTIER LOVER!
@@BrittPearceWatches you should!
Thanks!
Missed you and James!!!!! Take good care Brit - you look to be back to a wonderful 100% health wise!
HES BACK BAAABEH!!!! Ahhh Elton!!! Thank you soo so much for this! So glad to see tou BACK! But you truly don’t need to do This! You’re too freaking generous! 😭💕💕
@@manwithclass09we’ve missed YOU !!! And we love seeing you back! Don’t be working too hard Elton! Make sure you’re taking care of yourself!
As for me, yeah! I’m nearly back to 100%! I’d saw my jaw movement is back to about 70%?! Great for talking… but still can’t eat a burger. 😡 which is most problematic for me!
Hello again Brit - it is always to good to hear from you. Your kindness and spirit are infectious and lift my spirits. You are still doing the Lord's work! Anyway, I am doing my best to balance work and my health which is a challenging at times. My work is very important to me and probably always will be... Just the way I am wired I guess. But enough of that non-sense! I am living life and I am actually looking at a new watch to add to the herd... The new Bulova Oceanographer GMT in the Rose Gold / Root Beer motif is speaking to me!!! I am way to cheap to ever want to buy a Rolex root beer and this Bulova is pretty darn cool! This watch will feed into the "Tony Soprano" part of my personality! Take a look please when you have a moment. NOT a watch for everyone - but for a big lug like me..... We'll see... What is more important is you are doing so well after your accident and will be eating a cheeseburger soon! You sounded so American!!! Much love to you and James - take good care of you. Your friend - Elton @@BrittPearceWatches
I Purchased, a 42 mm, 18 karat gold Pasha on an alligator strap, with JLC movement in 1995. I love it!
Hey Britt nice review of a watch not much reviewed. My personal favourite offering from Cartier is the Ballon Bleu
Ahhh gotta LOVE the Ballon Bleu! So good!!
@@BrittPearceWatches solid gold please
I love my Pasha grille in SS. Great Gerald Genta design
4:30 date windows are genius!!
I love it on my Pasha,it's why i adore the 50Fathoms and like so many other watches. 3o'clock ruins the symmetry so bad,it would give me eye cancer,if i had a sub w date. 🤮
Wow, I think I love this watch. It feels like a modern dress watch where most others seems outdated 🖤
Very nice Watch.
This is a different offering from Cartier all right. Since, I think, this is the first time I've ever seen it, I'm going to have to think about it. Thanks, gringa.
I hope you get a chance to look at the Longines Mini Dolce Vita.
Had to watch this @brittpierce, but the image looked like you weren’t convinced! Lol
Love my 2790 seatimer pasha from the early 2000’s. I really appreciate the Unidirectional divers bezel on it and Cartier has moved away from that on its reissue.
How is the size? I have a medium wrist but many have said it wears larger than the 40.5mm dimensions?
@@rey_s90 my wrist is 7” and i have the 40mm and it wears perfectly on my wrist.
Although it's beautiful this watch is kinda reminds me of Graham's satellite dish watch somehow
It's a beautiful watch! I'm with you on the 4:30 date window its just unnecessary on that dial. Reminiscent of the Breguet type XX in that regard.
The obvious choice is the Santos or Tank, but, you put a compelling argument to not ignore the Pasha with its heritage as well.
RIIIGHT!?! I thought if the Breguet Type XX too!!! So topical! ;)
Thanks for introducing me to this watch, I had no idea it existed! I love how unique looking it is… the 41mm chronograph is probably the most unique chronograph I’ve ever seen!
I have the Pasha 950 W3105155PR limited addition. Love it!
Pretty sure the movement will be a 2892. My Santos Galbee from a similar period has that movement with a 4:30 date. Will explain the thickness too as it’s a thin movement.
Always looked cool. I never got around to buying a proper sports watch with a metal bracelet - that might never happen.
I have the Pasha de Cartier sunglasses in titanium. It’s a nice design aesthetic and I’d probably pick one up if I was in the market for a sports watch. Unless I’m fabulously wealthy in this scenario … and since we’re dreaming - why not? Then I’d get an A.P. Royal Oak.
Wow almost 100k 💪💪💪
I have the Pasha and honestly it was my first Cartier and I am happy with it. Got a Tank after but I wear the Pasha the most even wore it in my wedding photoshoot
I love the Pasha. Also love the discontinued Cartier Drive watches.
I have the Pasha Seatimer model and I love it.
I'm going to invent a watch with a 9:30 date window.
My soul is cringing already!! ;) I NEEEED SYMMETRY
Still have my Pasha W31030H3, first luxury watch and still holds a special place on my wrist, F. Piguet movement and Genta design (nuff said)
"The 4-30 date window makes it extra-interesting". No no - the date window and the ridiculous cyclops make it extra crap. It ruins what is a beautiful watch face. That plus the mystifying crown make it a thumb's down from me.
Honestly, I like it and that "ugly duck" reputation helps you get it at a heavy discount on the GM. Nice Vid!
I’ve got my eye on an odd Pasha neo-vintage piece.
Have you looked into the Cartier Drive de Cartier? Especially the Moonphase. A bit large for some, but distinctive and gorgeous! Worth a look, even if it’s a discontinued model. ⌚️😎☕️
I freaking love the pasha!
Watch clog is HERE!!! And the Pasha is pure magic! 😍✨✨🎉
ETA 2892-A2.
It has the potential to be a Top Selling Watch , however that stupid date window at 4 thirty is something that would have me wanting to throw it off the bridge, it makes it look beyond awful. What were they thinking ? It's akin to having a Garbage collector as a chaufeur for your Roll's Royce drive you around in it after he finished his shift collecting garbage and hadn't showered first.....lolol Moving on, I just looked at a watch I have never heard of before > that being the > parmigiani fleurier. The one I looked at was rrp of $44,000 USD . A bit too exy for me.(expensive) Anyhow have a great day folks.
Watching this vid grinning ear to ear while wearing my Cartier Pasha Seatimer! I loved this watch ever since I was in my undergrad in my 20s and was finally able to get one recently to celebrate my 38th birthday. It’s so underrated and classy and striking to people when they’re not able to pinpoint exactly what watch it is when they’re staring at my wrist.
What exactly is a 430 date window ?....Hi from Saskatoon canada Britt
End the cartier pasha seatimer black dial ?
Great video Brittany, thank you. Love the history lesson. The watch, well, looks good on your wrist, but not for me. Thanks again🙂👍
I've had a Pasha for 15 years or so. Love it. Was my daily wear for 10 years or so.
Great model. Bruce Williams got one
Umm 🤔 nah! 😜 but you’re such a fun presenter, I’ll watch any watch you’ll plead the case for is a great watch 😁
Totally agree, the Cartier Pasha is a hidden gem! 🕰️
Right?! Such a good one! 😍🙏🏼
For me the case and dial are nice but the bracelet is a touch chunky. It takes away from some of the elegance of the piece. Love the size, agree it’s a great unisex watch. Was this available on a strap? I feel like it was.
What’s your take on the Cartier Clé ?
I honestly don't mind the 4.30 date on my Bulova Lunar Pilot. Let's fight😂. On this watch with the cyclops tho yeah nah.
I really want the Pasha Seatimer. The only reason I don't have one is I cannot decide on white or black dial
The sea timer is the ONE!!!! And I’d go white dial all day!
I love this watch, please stop making videos on it so it doesn't go up, thanks 😂 Thanks for the review!
Liked the video and honestly never thought that I would like the watch. But I'm going to show it to my gf and see what she thinks. Might be nice for her.
And will you buy one or go for Rolex again?
Great review I own Pasha de cartier seatimer it look fabulous 😭💗 LOVE FROM INDIA
Britt, there is a Pasha with a Big date! It’s amazing!!!
The date position doesn't really matter for the movement. Cartier just has to print the numerals in a different orientation. And i guess they don't take a stock date disk with some random font anyway.
After doing a bit of research, the only thing I dislike about this watch is the 42 hour power reserve, which I could tolerate.
If I haven't saved enough for a vintage Gold Pasha, I would LOVE a Ti version
Cartier, please- I beg- consider releasing a 39-40mm TITANIUM Pasha w rotating Bezel!!! May call it the Pasha De Voyage or smth 🙏🏼
What about the Roadster??
4:30 DATE WINDOWS RULE! FIGHT ME! LOL! TINY CROWNS ARE PERFECTLY FI... oh, actually that does suck :-/ oh well, it's cool. My buddy just got one of these and it looks awesome!
$7k for a kooky watch with a potential ETA for a movement? OP 41mm for me please, any day.
I appreciate that you show us something different every now and then. However, this watch isn't my cup of tea. I do like 4:30 date windows, for example on some Seiko models.
