What we should keep in mind that 1904MC movement reaches strict requirement of Cartier that is a perfect work of art with technology and beauty. There is a winder and adjustment system and other device in the small movement. It is to assure accuracy at any situation. The bridge and pendulum is decorated by pattern of ctes de Genève.
