Same movement... not the same character! Which one do you prefer?
Do you remember the Rotonde de Cartier Tourbillon Chronograph which was unveiled at the SIHH this year?

This classic looking watch which features a Tourbillon with a vertical bridge actually uses a movement developped by Renaud&Papi with a long power reserve (8 days, so the power reserve indicator on the dial).

I had the chance a few days ago to see at the Paris Capucines boutique of Cartier a watch which was previously powered by the same movement. And believe me, you can't find more opposite watches!
Any Cartier fan knows it, this watch is the Pasha Tourbillon Chronograph and like any Pasha it has a strong character!
The typical Pascha case, the way the strap is linked to the case, the big 12, the crown, the inclined bezel...
It embodies a daring design, an unusual atmosphere...

And here is the proof... We find again the caliber 9438MC caliber!
Which one do you prefer? The quiet and elegant Rotonde or the daring and original Pasha?
