Panthère is an iconic presence in the house of Cartier. Presented in various forms, the panther is a key element of the French Maison. We have a look today on the wrist, at the 2021 creations of bracelets and wrist watches.
Centrepiece of the La Panthère collection, the pantherhead bangle is the highest embodiment of the feline’s suppleness. A flexible bracelet that hugs the wrist like a second skin, magnetic just like the emblematic Panthère de Cartier.
Through this bracelet, with its clean lines and essential design, Cartier cultivates jewellery simplicity, embodied by a bangle made of curved gold, stemming from the head of a sculptural panther with emerald or tsavorite garnet eyes.
A supple bracelet for a panther more agile than ever
A bracelet to mix and match, or pair up, choosing a look that is completely rose gold or yellow gold. Choose from these two versions, diamond-paved on the head, or on the head and tail, depending on the model.
Its suppleness stems from the craftsmanship and gold alloys; Cartier explores both the mechanical and intrinsic properties: no internal spring, just a skilful approach, an expertise applied to the panther’s design.
Cartier La Panthère Jewellery Watches
For the digital edition of Watches and Wonders 2021, la grande Maison prepared a series of jewellery watches designed and constructed around the iconic panther.
La Panthère Watches comes with a quartz movement in a pink or red gold case and with various variations of stone setting. A common is the pear-cut emerald eyes and the black lacquer nose and spots.
Révélation d’une Panthère Watch
Launched at SIHH 2018, the Révélation d’une Panthère Watch adds a dose of wonder and mystery to the wrist. This year, Cartier continues the saga with an eye-catching blue mother-of-pearl dial. The time measuring is set into motion by the Cartier movement 430MC, a beautiful hand-wound movement based on a Piaget ebauche.
