- Before finally establishing a streamlined in-house watch production in 2000, Cartier was known to collaborate with world-renowned watchmakers to design and create highly sought-after timepieces. The present Pasha Jour et Nuit is such an example that perfectly fuses sport and luxury through the modification Gerald Genta’s original Pasha.

- Svend Andersen is the brainchild behind the “Day and Night” system that sent shockwaves across the world of high horology. An exotic and unique way to tell time, this unusual jumping 24-hour display is indicated by a large hand with both sun and moon motifs on opposing ends. Much like the natural courses of the two celestial bodies, night and day are differentiated as the moon-hand sets past the 6th hour on the lower bow, and the sun-hand rises on the upper scale indicating the hours between 6 to 18. Unlike most watches, the subdial at 6 o’clock is not a small seconds register, but in fact, a subsidiary dial used to indicate the minutes. Framed on an opaline “Clous de Paris” canvas, a visual dissonance is also created in the layering of the hand-applied hour scales and Maison’s signature.

- The present example is a rare Cartier collectible, numbered 29 of a limited edition of 30 pieces only. Offered in excellent overall condition, this well-preserved Pasha Jour et Nuit from circa 2000 is further accompanied by its original accessories.
