May I introduce to you my latest arrival...
The Cartier Pasha Meridian GMT 2377
I have been thinking about this watch for several years now. I was off-put by comments made by my watchmaker who said "if you buy that watch nobody will be able to service it but Cartier". I took his advice but didn't lose my appreciation for the watch and Cartier in general. But the more I read the more I was convinced that he was only partially correct. Although Cartier holds tight reins on parts many of their watches use ETA, GP or other movements that any experienced watchmaker should be familiar with and could service. With my newly gained knowledge and confidence I rekindled my search for a Pasha. The intervening years allowed me to hone my thoughts on the Pasha. I wanted a watch that is subtle (35mm), casual but not out of place for dressier circumstances (not that I have occasion to attend many formal affairs but SOMEBODY is gonna get married or die...). And my collection didn't include a GMT. Therefore it was relatively easy to convince myself that I NEEDED this watch. It arrived yesterday well ahead of schedule. I'd like to mention Chrono24 and the seller Marc Gebauer for their fabulous service. Their packaging was superb and everything was as represented. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I'M SOOO STOKED!
These pics are yesterday when it still had all 14 of it's links. I have subsequently removed one link for a better fit.
No sapphire cabochon on this model...
Everybody said the bezel is a scratch magnet and they weren't kidding.
It even glows in the dark!!
One last pic of the newest member of "The 35 Club". (did I say I'm stoked?...well I am).

Congratulations
It is a very versatile watch and it looks great on you. Most Csrtier watches can easily dress up or down which is one of their many appealing qualities. Great denim too in that first Pic!
Thanks Arronax!
I always run my sartorial choices through wardrobe (my wife) before committing so she deserves at least some of the credit there. The watch however was my doing!
Thanks SalmanPK
Part of my thought process was this: "Produced by one of the most famous jewelry houses on Earth and designed by one of the most famous watch designers in recent history. What could possibly go wrong?!?"
Me too!
The Meridian graphic is pretty cool too. It's printed in silver on silver so it's pretty subtle but sometimes the lines glimmer in the light.
Great, Greg!
Great choice. The Pasha is an underrated Cartier. I've always found it attractive, and versatile. By the way...Cartier services al their US-located watches in NY. And they are reasonable in both cost and turn around time, should you choose to use them for...
Thanks for the intel TheMadDruid
I can't get service history from the seller and since the watch didn't come with papers (ie: warranty card) I can't get any info from Cartier either. So far not a second lost though. In a week then a month I'll have a better gauge of its accuracy. I'm not...
Yeah...that's the problem.
I input the serial number and they found it (whew!) but then I got to Step 4 where they want me to send a picture of the original warranty card which I don't have. So as it stands I can't complete the registration. Am I missing something? Is there another...
Just under the upload it says "I can't upload my card" then click the red text to then enter your timepiece information manually.
The model number and serial number should be visible on the caseback enter that and you should be good to go. Marc
Congratulations on the arrival of your beautiful and classic Pasha De Cartier.
It is indeed a modern classic designed by one of the best designers ever and built with the style and quality of the great maison of Cartier it really is a stand out piece that has already stood the test of time and I would guess will continue to do so. B...
Oh...That's funny...we just watched that a couple of weeks ago.
I wasn't looking closely enough for watch sightings. Do you know which one it is?
I had a Cartier Chrono for awhile and liked it a lot
I have no idea what happened to it (a swap or trade-in perhaps?) You will enjoy that one, I think. Cazalea ...
WOW! Like Super Fancy!
I like the decorations on the back. So this watch is...uhhh...UnSubtle!
As with all Cartier there are just so many different variations within the collections.
Then there's CPCP and all the Unobtanium stuff. Like the Cartier Custom Order program. George Cramer wrote about it for Fratello here: www.fratellowatches.com
I like it!
But also have to say that anyone who has that Accutron tuning fork watch already has taste in my book. That watch makes me think you might be an engineer!
Builder and Designer with an MArch.
Most of my watches came to me by chance or circumstance. Other than the Pasha that's the only other watch I purposefully pursued. I like it. There was a bluegrass guitarist named Tony Rice that was an Accutron fanatic. There's an article in Hodinkee about...
Congratulations Greg 😊
So sweet to pull the tricker on a piece you been eyeing for years. The Cartier looks good on you and I can understand your excitement. Enjoy!
Thanks! I intend to!
Looks like you'll have fun in the south. Trains and architecture are ok but don't forget the wine, women and song!
Congratulations! I always loved and still love the Pasha line of watches.
My first luxury watch was a two-tone Pasha C like yours but without the GMT function. As you pointed out the base calibre is ETA 2892 so any competent watch maker should be able to fix and maintain it.
Congratulations, It’s a cool Cartier …
Beautifully photographed and looks great on your wrist. Enjoy !
Easily over-shadowed by its older siblings.
Tank: Iconic. Santos: Historic. Pasha? Dubious made-up back story, dropped from production what...twice? Three times? Poor thing can't get any respect!
