About the Watch

The Maison de Cartier reinvents and reintroduces a timeless symbol. Although regarded as the Jeweler of Kings, Maison de Cartier has traditionally targeted mostly women with its extremely artistic and stunning designs. This timepiece series conveys fluidity, sensitivity, and a graceful feminine flow.

The Cartier Panthere watch, a fashion icon from the early 1980s, has returned to manufacture after a ten-year hiatus. With the relaunch of this classic series of women’s jewelry timepieces, Cartier gained center stage. The revelation was eagerly anticipated, and the Cartier Panther timepieces elicited a warm and inviting response to no one’s surprise.

The layout of the bracelet is inspired by the pattern of a leopard, with the form and curving of the links. This sequence of highlights and shadows resembles the sleek feline’s spotty fur coat. To ensure long-term wear, Cartier redesigned and tightened the links.

The Panthère de Cartier strands were also made elastic, allowing the bracelet to move up or down much like a panther’s beautiful ebb and flow as it walks quietly. Whereas this monster may be able to go unnoticed, the Panthere de Cartier will undoubtedly attract more attention.

Another distinguishing aspect of the Panthère de Cartier is the octagonal-shaped blue sapphire crown. It adds that signature Cartier blue flashing found in most of their luxury brand designs.

The bezel layout of the Panthère de Cartier features eight small screws. Hence, it provides a more feminine bezel that appears to be inspired by the legendary Santos collection of men’s watches, which has a similar case form.

The Cartier Panthere has a sophisticated yet elegant and smooth appearance with a refined bezel and satin-finished casing. The yellow gold case features a slim profile, making it easy to wear and comfortable. Other versions have a diamond bezel with small holes for the bezel’s small screws.

The Panthère de Cartier dial features a railroad minute track and large roman numerals. They are similar to those found on the renowned Tank and Santos models. At 10 o’clock, the moniker Cartier intersects the Roman numeral ‘X.’ The sword-like hour and minute markers are made of blued steel, which contrasts nicely with the silver dial.

The Cartier Panthère is simple, elegant, and stylish. This complete set features a highly modern yet sharp look that will stand out. A manual, pouch, white outer box, and a magnificent and elegant crimson red Cartier timepiece box with a white interior and white piece cushion are included with the Cartier Panthere de Cartier.
