What Madonna, Margaret Thatcher and Keith Richards share.
Description
Cartier has always designed form watches. The daring (or crazy?) challenge of linking a very square case with rounded edges and slender links could only be taken up by the Maison. The challenge was largely won and has been declined in solid gold, gold and steel, steel, paved, large size, small size...
This design is so successful that it is perfectly unisex (like that of the Tank or Santos from the same Maison)! The large size presented here reinforces this feeling. This watch will have a presence on the wrist, whether it is feminine or masculine!
If the Panthère existed with a date window at 3 o'clock, this is the version with the purest dial, without anything to spoil the harmony of the indexes.
How to wear it
Watches with integrated bracelets are and will always be sporty to the eye.
The strength of the Panthère lies in its sharp yet rounded lines that reduce the purely sporty impression. The fine and articulated bracelet also plays a role in making this Panthère ultimately elegant.
Françoise wears it very casually, as an everyday watch, and may prefer more dressy watches on leather straps for the evening. Although...
Why did Françoise choose it ?
If Françoise chose it, she's not alone! We have seen (and still see) it on the wrists of many actresses, musicians, and female politicians. If a Cartier were needed for life, it might be towards a Panthère that Françoise would turn. The bracelet (whatever it may be : steel or gold) offers an unmatched guarantee of resistance and comfort.
History
The Panthère watch was launched in the festive spirit of the 1980s, when Michèle Kaouni was the director of creation at the Maison Cartier. It takes its name from the bracelet: both supple and streamlined, it evokes the way the feline moves, with all its roundness, elegance, and sensuality. At Cartier, the evocation of the panther through its coat is part of its identity. The spotted pattern first appeared on another ladies' wristwatch in 1914, in onyx and diamonds.
From its release, it was adopted by a large and eclectic crowd: Madonna, Keith Richards, Margaret Thatcher. Why not you?

We never retouch a watch's condition; only the brightness of the photograph may be adjusted.
Serial numbers are removed from photographs to protect the authenticity of each piece.
