When we picture ’80s style, we see power suits, power shoulders and power watches. Cartier’s cult Pasha de Cartier was first introduced in 1985, and it immediately stood out for its nonconformist aesthetic: a square filigree rail-track is found in the circle of its dial, which, combined with the house’s signature cobalt sword hands, gives it a clean, graphic and eye-catching finish that, at the time, perfectly offset the formidable fashion of the era.

Relaunched on its 35th anniversary – and now available at NET-A-PORTER – the Pasha is just as desirable as ever and brings all its original boldness with it, plus a few slick new additions. Its crown features a blue spinel or sapphire, and it now comes with a sapphire crystal case back. Plus, new interchangeable straps allow for myriad styling possibilities – from steel and gold to sleek leather – using the novel Cartier-developed QuickSwitch system, an undetectable mechanism found under the case that works with just a single push. This dynamic piece also features SmartLink capabilities, meaning the metal bracelet length can easily be customised for the convenience of the current owner, or should it be passed down to a new owner (this classic style is sure to become a future family heirloom), using a simple push-button release system.

Adding further individuality, it can also be discreetly engraved – creating the perfect finishing touch to a special gift. Have your beloved’s initials etched under the crown cover, where they can only be revealed when the Pasha’s signature chained crown is unscrewed.
