The history of this Pasha de Cartier Moon Phase desk clock
The Pasha Moon Phase desk clock is directly inspired by the iconic Pasha watch, created in 1933 by Louis Cartier for the Pasha of Marrakech. Originally designed as an elegant and water-resistant timepiece, the Pasha has become one of the House’s emblematic models, instantly recognisable by its circular design and strong identity. Presented here as a desk clock, this reference 8913, from the Must collection, translates the Pasha aesthetic into a decorative and functional horological object. Produced at the end of the 20th century, this desk clock illustrates Cartier’s desire to offer sophisticated desk creations, combining iconic design with useful everyday complications.
Case, movement and displays
This Pasha desk clock features a gold-plated case with generous dimensions of 110 × 130 mm, ideal for placement on a desk or bookshelf. The white dial offers a clear and well-structured display, with : date indications at 3 and 9 o’clock, a second time zone (GMT) at 6 o’clock, a moon phase at 12 o’clock, a central seconds hand, and luminescent hands and indexes. It’s powered by a Swiss quartz movement, ensuring precision and reliability, while integrating several complications rarely combined on a desk clock of this period.
Why this desk clock
This Pasha desk clock stands out for its level of horological complexity, combining date, GMT and moon phase within a single object.
