1904-PS MC

About the Cartier 1904-PS MC

The name records the date Louis Cartier made the Santos, 1904, and the initials read "petite seconde" and "Manufacture Cartier". The movement has twin barrels for a 48-hour reserve and a steady rate, a bidirectional winding system, a stop-seconds function and a quick-set date, and it beats at 28,800 vph with 27 jewels at 25.6 mm across. It was the movement that moved Cartier from supplied calibers to its own for the core of the men's range, and the 1904-CH MC chronograph followed it.

In the library it sits under 29 Calibre de Cartier references, the 42 mm original and the Diver, 6 Tank MC references, whose 34.3 mm width is the rectangular case around the same round movement, 4 Drive de Cartier references and one Ronde. The 42 mm case accounts for 24 references.

The Tank and Ballon Bleu are the collections that carry Cartier's other movements.
