Pasha de Cartier Skeleton Dragon Motif Watches
This exquisite novelty from Cartier features adorable interweaving diamond-set bands which form a dragon, with the movement components hidden (although some of them are in view, but each corresponds with the dragon parts). The dragon is not used accidentally. This mythical creature that is the symbol of power and prestige has been very important Chinese motif from the late 19th century, thus being perfectly appropriate for the Chinese market.
Caliber 9617 MC Front
Pasha de Cartier Skeleton Dragon Motif Watch is powered with a new mechanical movement with manual winding. The caliber 9617 MC which is capable to deliver a fairly generous power reserve of 3 days (72 hours) has the beating rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). The mechanism and bridges are designed together. The movement is encrusted with 233 diamonds with a marquise-cut tsavorite for the eye of the dragon on the front. When you turn the watch upside down, it is equally beautiful, with engraving on the bridges. Both watchglass and case-back are executed in see-through sapphire. Considering the fact that the mechanism is manually-wound, there is no oscillating weight to block the view of its inner beauty.
