The missing link between Madonna, Margaret Thatcher and Keith Richards
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...

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 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?
