Min. ReadPanthère Jewellery Watch: A Piece of Hybrid Architecture
The excellence of Cartier’s artisans forms a unique alchemy, blending watchmaking and jewellery to create something spectacular. The Panthère Jewellery Watch captures the essence of the Maison’s craftsmanship, transforming materials to bring the iconic panther to life.
This creation blends traditional watchmaking with jewellery, featuring elements deeply rooted in Cartier's stylistic history. The three-dimensional panther is poised to leap, paired with the delicate ‘Toi & Moi’ bracelet. The panther, sculpted in high detail, displays a leaping body, slender muscles, and meticulously crafted features like its ears, nose, and paws. Available in yellow or white gold, this watch reveals a realistic and sculptural masterpiece.
The panther’s elegance shines with polished yellow gold and black lacquer spots. Its tsavorite eyes contrast beautifully against the black lacquer dial and diamond-paved bezel. The diamond at 12 o’clock ties the design together, serving as both an hour marker and a striking focal point.
This white gold watch sparkles with 1100 diamonds, crafted over 230 hours of meticulous work. The jewellers have used the fur-setting technique to create tiny, hair-like threads around the onyx, achieving extraordinary realism. Diamonds adorn the dial, and the snow-set bracelet adds texture, contributing to the overall luxurious aesthetic.
This watch is not only a timepiece but also a symbol of Cartier’s long-standing tradition. The panther, a recurring motif, continuously evolves, showcasing Cartier's power to redesign while staying true to the values it represents.
