Cartier Pasha: A History Of Replica Watches

The Cartier Pasha Replica Watch is one of the most popular timepieces available for purchase today. The Cartier name has long been synonymous with luxury and elegance, while Pashas suggest Oriental majesty and decadence, the combination of which has resulted in a powerfully sexy collection of wristwatches that have been bestsellers since their debut. A Cartier Pasha Replica Watch can be traced all the way back to the specially commissioned waterproof timepiece made for the Pasha of Marrakesh himself in 1932.

Cartier was by then a well-established purveyor of luxury jewels and jewelry to not just the upper classes but to the aristocracy and even royalty of many lands. It is for such associations that the Cartier brand has become so famous down through the decades. No mere corporate lore, however, the history of Cartier is in many that of contemporary timekeeping, and it will be necessary for us to delve into a little bit of that history in order to fully appreciate the power and the appeal of the label.

These Replica Watches can arguably be traced all the way back to the first wristwatch ever made by the company. Prior to this, the only other wristwatch in existence was a specially commissioned "one-off" for a woman. But the Cartier Santos was mass-produced and so is often credited as being the first practical wristwatch invented. It came about as the result of a conversation between Louis Cartier, grandson of the firm's founder, and Brazilian aviator Santos-Dumont, who complained that using pocket watches in flight was very inconvenient. The resultant flat square watch with a strap to be worn on the wrist proved popular not only with the famed aviator but among Cartier's many other clients as well.

And so it is that the company is no stranger to the upper classes, and so it is that the Cartier Pasha Replica Watch came to be, the whole catalog of which derives from this tradition of specially designed timepieces. The contemporary collection of Cartier Pashas is wildly varied, from strict fashion accessories to practical chronographs, with elegant designs that range from the ornate to the understated. Available in both men's and women's versions, which are often just smaller versions of what is available for men, Cartier Pashas and replica watches tend to be classically inspired in their look and feel, though perhaps the most famous model of the collection harks back to old-fashioned military wristwatches with its tic-tac-toe grid over the watchface, suggesting the protective meshes of yesteryear.
