2014

2014

Promenade d'une Panthère watch in white gold and diamonds. Automatic Manufacture movement 9603 MC.
Design and function come together in a display of style and refinement. Cartier brings the inner workings of the movement, traditionally concealed, to the fore on the dial: the oscillating weight is on display and sculpted in the shape of a moving panther.
The feline seems more lively than ever.

2014
2014-2

2014

2017

High Jewellery bracelet in yellow gold, beryl, obsidian, tsavorite garnet, onyx and diamonds. Inspired by the shape of the beryl itself, Cartier creates an illusion of depth as the translucence of the gem reveals perspective lines. The panther gazes into the beryl as if to seek its own reflection.

2017-2
2017-3

2017

Révélation d’une Panthère watch in pink gold and diamonds. Mechanical Manufacture movement 430 MC. This watch showcases a miniature spectacle within the dial of a Ronde Louis Cartier watch. The wrist's movements cause a panther’s head comprising a multitude of gold beads to appear or disappear. The piece explores the ancestral technique of the hourglass: a creative feat born of five years of work, heralded by the public and consolidated with two patent applications.

2017

Panthère de Cartier brooch in white gold, sapphires, emeralds, onyx and diamonds. This figurative panther, fully represented, evokes another appearing on a cigarette case created in 1917 and offered to Jeanne Toussaint by Louis Cartier.

2018-2

2018

High Jewellery figurative watch in white gold, sapphires, emeralds, onyx and diamonds. The panther is constantly evolving to offer unprecedented expressions of its personality. Pouncing, the feline darts towards the watch case, as if attracted by its preciousness. The impression of movement is depicted with careful attention to each anatomical detail.

2019

2019

La Panthère watch in yellow gold, lacquer spots and diamonds. The panther is Cartier’s double: the same strength and freedom, the same vitality and elegance. Because it has inspired designers since 1914 and because its magnetism transfigures everything it touches, the Cartier panther is recreated by as many designs as there are interpretations and facets of its personality. This untameable animal sparks energy, sensuality and strength in women.

2019
