Cartier continues its legacy of reinterpreting the panther motif with the launch of the new Panthère Jewelry watches at Watches & Wonders 2025. These timepieces merge high jewelry craftsmanship with watchmaking expertise, featuring a sculptural Toi et Moi panther-shaped bangle that conceals a discreet time display.
The Cartier Panthère Bangle watch is available in two luxurious versions: yellow gold and white gold. The yellow gold model showcases a polished case and bracelet adorned with black lacquer spots, an onyx nose, and striking green tsavorite eyes. Cartier’s meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the intricate detailing of the panther’s leaping form, from its slender muscles to its finely sculpted ears, nose, and paws. While resembling an exquisite piece of jewelry, the watch discreetly integrates a small black lacquer dial with two tiny hands at the center and a single diamond at 12 o’clock. Additionally, 22 diamonds are set into the bezel, framing the dial.
The second version is a high-jewelry model, encrusted with over 1,100 diamonds. Its creation requires more than 230 hours of gem-setting, polishing, and finishing. Cartier’s signature fur-setting technique wraps metal around onyx spots to mimic the texture of hair, giving the emerald-eyed panther a lifelike appearance. Diamonds adorn every surface, including the fully paved dial and the snow-set bracelet.
Both versions operate on quartz movements and offer water resistance up to 30 meters. They are available in three wrist sizes: 150mm, 160mm, and 170mm.
Cartier has long celebrated the panther as an iconic symbol of the brand. Despite numerous iterations over the past century, the maison continues to innovate, delivering designs that captivate and impress. The latest Panthère Jewelry watches exemplify Cartier’s artistic vision and technical precision. While pricing details remain undisclosed, these extraordinary timepieces are expected to carry a significant price tag.
