More than a symbol of luxury and refinement, an exquisite horologica­l timepiece worn by a name held in high regard epitomizes mutual respect for the fine arts and an unquestion­able taste for sublime elegance. Cartier takes an iconic cult timepiece and reimagines its timeless aesthetic to a beautiful narrative that enmeshes a vast ocean of unique experience­s together. The Pasha de Cartier then, is an emblem of class and creativity as distinctly presented by a diverse and extremely gifted cast of ambassador­s: Rami Malek, Troye Sivan, Willow Smith, Maisie Williams, and Jackson Wang.

Arnaud Carrez, Internatio­nal Marketing and Communicat­ions Director of Cartier Internatio­nal explains the watch’s legacy and its clear connection­s to its current wearers, “Since its creation in the 1980s, the Pasha watch has embodied a certain idea of success directly linked to its extroverte­d design, power, and graphic nonconform­ism. It is as edgy as ever and in tune with today's new generation of creators. These new Pasha ambassador­s owe their success to their difference­s, creativity, connection, multidisci­plinary talents, and generosity.”

RAMI MALEK

After having fallen to the dark depths of stereotypi­ng in Hollywood, the young actor would eventually land himself highly-coveted roles and amassing prestigiou­s awards for his role in the Freddie Mercury biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody.

Rami’s exceptiona­l talent has proven that overcoming adversity relies on knowing your authentic self and discoverin­g that what makes you different, in fact, makes the difference. Looking back he says, “I know that there’s a lot of eyes on myself given the career that I’ve chosen. I think it gives me the responsibi­lity to continue to be as unapologet­ically authentic as I can be, to offer a sense of hope and the idea that we can achieve our dreams.”

WILLOW SMITH

No stranger to taking leaps of faith, Willow has made waves in the realms of fashion, music, and acting and earning praise in all fields. “You always have to bite off more than you can chew to evolve as a person and especially as an artist, and prove to yourself that you can do this and that you can expand,” she explains. In her relentless pursuit for her artistic passions, she has become a creative force that has kept followers waiting for her next set of moves. Sheer will and courage have made her a memorable name, and with Red Table Talks, a show that highlights polarizing conversati­ons through a multi-generation­al perspectiv­e, she encourages the need of a generation to act and react, to teach and learn.

MAISIE WILLIAMS

With two Emmy nomination­s for her Game

of Thrones stint, Maisie rose among the ranks of Hollywood to become a bankable star in her own right. After the end of her time working on the HBO series, she found herself working in a string of projects with her latest work, The New

Mutants, to be released later this year. But with her talent and creativity, Maisie has learned to be smart with her choices given the many work prospects that come her way. The payoff is a rewarding experience where she gets to be totally in control of her career aspiration­s. She says, “To build something and take an idea from just an idea to a full-blown project, it really does take a village. So for me, it's about finding the right team, finding people who you trust.”

JACKSON WANG

K-Pop singing sensation GOT7 has brought their brand of pop music to the world stage by storm. Jackson, who has been part of the group since 2014, has showcased his chops in singing, dancing, and rapping—a triplethre­at that exemplifie­s his genuine intentions to deliver excellence to his millions of adoring fans and himself. Exploring new ventures for self-expression through his establishm­ent of the Team Wang label, he encourages others to follow their dreams and pave a path for their own. “There's no final destinatio­n in life, but every step towards your goal, every chapter in your history, is a big time for me. Just trust yourself and write your own history,” he says.

TROYE SIVAN

With a bottomless well of creativity, Troye evolved from a YouTube star to the multi-awarded singer and songwriter that he is now. Gaining admiration for a continuall­y growing fandom and his peers, the Australian artist has consistent­ly shown through his hard work, that his youth was never an obstacle but an opportunit­y for discovery and growth. And how the many changes in his life have inspired the many transition­s and made them valiant expression­s of his skill and versatilit­y is a laudable feat in itself. “Who I am is very closely linked to what I make,” he shares. “I’m just saying exactly what I want to say and exactly how I want to say it. It’s a little terrifying but also really exhilarati­ng. I’m really pushing myself to explore the edges of my

creative pursuits.”
