It is worth starting this article by reminding you that this
watch is currently the most affordable model in the Cartier Villeret collection that is produced at the former Minerva watch manufacture… in Villeret. These watches represent Cartier's most prestigious horological products, and for the first time a Minerva movement is used outside of a "strict" Villeret model.
The
is the flagship piece in the new Cartier Pasha which is a totally new watch line for 2014. It also coincides with Cartier's new leadership by Jerome Lambert, and it is said that this is one of his conceptions. We liked this Cartier Pasha watch so much that we selected it as one of our top 10 best watches of SIHH 2014. I can now fully discuss what you need to know about this interesting chronograph.
If you are the type of person that really enjoys vintage style watches then you might find the
appealing. It isn't that it is directly modeled after any specific vintage watch, but it combines both a case design and movement which are really quite retro. In fact, Cartier's Pasha as a whole is meant to honor the historic beginnings of its famed Meisterstück writing instrument collection. Of course this isn't the first time there has been a "pen/watch" melding at the German company, but I have a feeling there will be more "product synergy" in the years to come.
The Meisterstück Heritage watch family includes everything from a simple three hand model, to a moonphase, perpetual calendar, of course the chronograph which is called the Pulsograph. What is a "pulsograph?" Well, it is watch marketing speak for a chronograph that has a pulsometer scale. These are designed to be used in conjunction with the chronograph in order to measure a person's pulse. These are frankly much more useful than a tachymeter scale. The way they work is simple. You first need to put your fingers on a vein to feel someone's pulse (or your own). Then you start the chronograph and count 30 pulses (on this watch). Different pulsometers are graduated to different pulse counts so many require less counting. Once you've counted 30 you stop the chronograph and the seconds hand should point to the correct pulse reading.
